Here are some quotes from HER FASHION MAJESTY:

• Fashion is life-enhancing and I think it’s a lovely, generous thing to do for other people.
• If you wear clothes that don’t suit you, you’re a fashion victim. You have to wear clothes that make you look better.
• I just use fashion as an excuse to talk about politics. Because I’m a fashion designer, it gives me a voice, which is really good.
• If you’re too big to fit into fashion, then you just have to do your own fashion.
• Fashion is here to help make people look very important. If they have good taste and choose what suits them, I give them options on how they can do that. It’s always sexy, and it’s always with the same result: making women look fantastic.
• Мy fashion always tells a story somehow. I never look at fashion magazines. I find them incredibly boring. To me, reading a fashion magazine is the last thing I need to do.
• I just think people should invest in the world. Don’t invest in fashion, but invest in the world.
• Why do people think that if you don’t dress up, others will appreciate your beauty more – that style will somehow emanate from you? It’s rubbish. If you dress up it helps your personality to emerge – if you choose well.
• Buy less, choose well: that’s the maxim. Quality not quantity. That’s the most environmentally friendly thing you can do.
• I am attracted to people who make this effort in knowing what suits them – they are individual and stylish.
