Social media is fine, depending on how you use it.
I take random inspiration from everywhere.
Never forget that it sometimes takes a foreigner's eye to capture Britain most clearly.
I feel like when it comes to the models, certain models are now like commodities in certain ways.
I come from a family who didn't have much money but raised me to believe that money wasn't the most important thing in the world. We had enough; we were happy.
When I was 18 years old, I moved into Neneh Cherry's house in Kensal Rise with Judy Blame and our friend Michael Boadi.
People like me thought America was the best place to be creative, to be free to create, to have the freedom to be who you are.
When I was growing up, David Bowie was my idol. I grew up in inner-city London, and he was from Brixton, which is even more urban.
I felt like I grew up with Bowie. I never dressed like him, even though I did love the music, but consistently throughout my career he has been a go-to reference point: The suit from 'Young Americans,' or the gold Missoni-type looks of Ziggy Stardust. 'The Berlin Years' still influences me.
You never know where inspiration is going to come from.
I am definitely allergic to wheat. Every time I eat it, I feel awful.
I'm very proud of the world that's embracing all these different ideas of what it is to be diverse, in 2017.
When you start out in the industry and things are tough, and you're not really making money, you question yourself: should I give up?
A queen does not wear clothes off the runways.
Change always takes time.
I learned that fashion was about more than fancy images. That there was a business side as well.
I'd never seen anything like it in my life. Someone so blatantly challenging the ideas of race and gender and sexuality. In a way, it was comparable to David Bowie, except that Prince brought that to the black community.
Prince was not scared. The first time I heard someone sing about AIDS, it was Prince: 'In France, a skinny man died of a big disease with a little name.' He was not afraid of taboos.
I am black in a predominantly white industry, and I have been luckier than most.
I grew up in an African household, so lots of chicken, lots of rice. We ate Jollof rice, a very West African dish.
