What does the fashion industry mean to you , as a female ? I find designing menswear much easier personally , it just feels more natural for me and it ' s more inspiring . I suppose there ' s no real explanation , it ' s just what I do .
Do you think the fashion industry promotes equality ? I think I have a slight advantage because even though I ' m designing clothes for men , I ' m still designing things I want to wear .
How would you describe your look ? I design the type of clothes women will want to steal off their boyfriend . I ' d say I ' m very sporty with some traditional tailoring elements however I don ' t feel I have fully defined my style yet .
What does being a girl mean to you ? Being a girl means I am strong , I work hard and I am independent .
