Name three things that are inspiring you for spring/summer 2011: “Theo Adams, performing in Brighton last year and British summer holiday photography by Martin Parr.”
What encapsulates London fashion for you? “I had afternoon tea in Bistrotheque's pop-up restaurant once and loved that! I like to pop into the Red Lion pub.”

How does London influence your designs? “I love the Museum of Childhood in Bethnal Green and the V&A museum. I also adore hunting around DIY and 99p shops.”
