My work space is so visually crammed. It's like an insane candy store. The number of textiles I'm surrounded with is mind boggling. It's a treat to come home to a nice negative space.

I always loved clothes, just not clothes that were appropriate to the place I grew up in.

I worked in fashion, but I worked more in the sales side of fashion than in design. I was an assistant buyer for a department store back in the '70s and the early years of Saint Laurent. And I used to have a lot of private clients that I bought for.

My own style is pretty classic; I much prefer to design for others.

I'm trying to work on my modelling career and remove myself from the whole FHM stigma. I want to be seen as a classic model.

If my little girl wants a toy or something, sometimes I say, ‘I don't have the money'. It's quite difficult to understand why I'm saying that, but she needs to understand that nothing comes easy."

Every time I think I'd want a huge, huge career, I realize I'd go crazy under that kind of scrutiny.

DoMode' is get out here and do your job and do work.
