What item would be in your fantasy fashion cupboard? 

Anything Prada or Dior. 

If you weren't a fashion desinger, what would you be?

Beyonce! 

What is your number one source of inspiration? 

I would say art - specifically Matisse. And of course people, be it friend or stranger I see on the street. 

The fashion item you most want to buy at the moment is...?

New jewellery from Delfina Delettrez. 

What is your motto? 

Continue to go after your dreams.
