I’d come down for a few days and would go out to different gigs every night. Sometimes I’d print up a few T-shirts back home and bring them with me to the gigs and try to sell them to people in the audience. Any money I’d make would go towards paying for the petrol to get me down. Does that count as a job?.
I’d encourage everyone to keep their phones in their pockets as they’re walking around the streets and look up. The city has some of the most amazing architecture in the world — you just have to look up and see it. My late dear friend, David Bowie.
No run-ins but I have stood in for one on a grid-locked Saturday afternoon in Notting Hill where I stepped in to direct the traffic. Sitting in my car at 6am after my swim at the Royal Automobile Club, listening to the Today programme on Radio 4. Ideally it would be pouring with rain and I’d have the heating on full blast.
The view from the roof of my studio in Covent Garden to the Civil Aviation Authority building. Everything! I have a very large collection of many objects... art, bicycles, vinyl, toys, photographs and my collection of miniature rabbits from my wife Pauline — she gifts me one as a good luck charm before each one of my fashion shows.
Planning and designing for our autumn/winter 2025 season. I have also been busy designing this year’s Claridge’s Christmas tree. It was an honour to be asked and we worked with artists Nik Ramage and Studiomama to bring my playful vision to reality. It’s quite mad.
