ek always approaches quickly, do you get excited?
It is an exciting week and it obviously gets a bit stressful but it’s all part of the process. Everything always happens at the last minute!
Your new collection has just launched at Topshop, are you pleased with it?
I am super pleased with it. The store layout is incredible and it was so exciting seeing hundreds of people turning up. It was amazing to see everything from blankets, jumpers to iPhone cases selling so quickly!

It centers around the idea of filling a white canvas which then becomes part of the garment. I have tried to combine extremely technical methods with a feeling of heritage.

Drinking lots of water and eating lots of fruit. I also try to keep my phone turned off, as it means I can really concentrate on the task in hand and keeps me from getting distracted.

Believe that it has already happened and a lot of hard work!
What are you looking forward to most at Fashion Week?
That minute before the show!

Drinking lots of water and turning off for 2 hours of the day
Why are you working with BRITA?
