My design philosophy is to make women feel like peacocks.

I guess I will always be known as a designer who references Ibiza, even though I've only been to the island a couple of times in my early twenties.

I'm not one to pat myself on my back, but I have had a career for 20 years, and if people are interested in how I did it or if I can give any advice, then that's lovely.

It's always better when travelling to be in a place where your friends know the area well.

In my industry, it's important to have people I look to for different things: guidance, inspiration and motivation.

I'm not really a fan of sleep, to be honest with you. I work out at 9:30 or 10 o'clock at night, and sometimes I just keep going. I've never been a big sleeper.

I truly believe motivation is internal, but there are so many things that happen externally, and it's hard to not pick that up as motivation.

I find as much inspiration from the forerunners of jazz as I do the modern-day innovators of jazz.
