What inspires you ?
People. Observing social interactions.
What is your favourite material to work with?
Silk Organza is my favourite fabric. It feels like luxury. It can both drape well and be structural.

When it doesnt feel like a job. In London, Paris or Berlin.
What was the biggest challenge encountered in making your first collection?
The lack of time, trying to work on little or no sleep.
What do you listen to whilst working?
Fleetwood mac always lifts the mood when i'm working.
What is your favourite museum/ gallery?
The national portrait gallery. ALso the V&A Museum, I probably know the entire layout of it as i have spent so much time there.
