A: My design aesthetic is based on a concept or a theme, not the spectacular.
Q: In your current collection, your separates might consists of very fashion-forward tops matched with a more conventional skirt or pair of trousers. Why did you combine these polar opposites?
A: I can design eccentric silhouettes, which gets good press, but what I have tried to do in this collection is the correct balance, combining one piece that is very eccentric with one piece that is very commercial. And an adventurous woman can wear these two opposites together because they balance each other out.
Q: Why do you call your current couture collection evolution?
A: I call my Spring 2010 couture collection evolution because about six months before I started the collection I was thinking about Michael Jackson. I knew that he was coming to London in July 2009 to give a concert, and I wanted my collection to pay homage to this great artist. When I started the collection, I decided to combine the Michael Jackson fashion aesthetic with Marlene Dietrich and David Bowie.
