I can design a collection in a day and I always do, cause I've always got a load of Italians on my back, moaning that it's late.

I grew up with my parents in the kitchen discussing the audition my dad had that day or moaning about something or other in the industry, so it was unglamourised and normalised for me from a very young age.

There's a lot of things you can't change about yourself, so there's no point moaning about it. I mean, I've got a really nonsymmetrical face, but I can't change it - well, I probably could, actually!

Charley Patton is the original inspiration. I didn't play anything when I was a kid. Then, when I was 20, I went into my mam's bedroom because she had a double mirror, and I wanted to see what the back of my hair was doing. She had an alarm-clock radio, and it came on with this old guy moaning and hollering, playing this strange guitar.
