To escape and sit quietly on the beach - that's my idea of paradise.
It is important that every bride feels comfortable in her chosen dress, and fabric choice has a big part to play in this.
My clients can choose their own colours and fabrics to have something unique in their wardrobes.
My father, Dennis Popham, was a very handsome, talented artist, and as my mother always reminds me, 'someone who had wonderful style.' He was half Samoan-German, half New Zealander, and their first date was to a Fleetwood Mac concert, which I love the thought of.
Red lipstick aside, I firmly believe that less is more in terms of make-up.
It's about having that nice balance. I think that's the answer to today's modern girl who is on the run. She's throwing on something before she goes out, but I still believe in the glitz and the glamour of everything and making that come to life.
I love the idea of a dress or a coatdress rather than a suit with a jacket.
Here in London, you can go for picnics and have a barbecue; you can go to a park and wear bare feet, much like New Zealand. But there's just so much buzz going on; you can be inspired by anything and everything. There's always something to do. Always.
I feel like British designers are having a real moment; there's a lot of freedom to be different, and I think that that's what so unique. There's no expectation of what you're going to see at London Fashion Week, and I think that's why you get such a mixed bag of sweets.
The most wonderful thing about having a small business is that every person we dress gets a really intimate process.
I always think about my lifestyle when designing, so that's being a mother, being a career woman, being a wife, and being a woman who loves to entertain.
I love seeing a woman in a beautiful dress and pairing it with a light shoe that shows skin - I really believe in toe cleavage.
I think that the typical Emilia Wickstead women is very effortless, very sophisticated: she's got alluring style, and she's always taking on fashion. I always describe her as 'imaginative with her own taste'.
I've had women buy their entire wardrobes from me; from suits to full-length evening gowns and sophisticated day dresses, they buy everything.
I am a little obsessed with stripes.
I'd like to think we can make a nice, glowing change to British dressing.
I attended speech and drama classes with a nun to help me gain confidence in speaking without my face turning red each time.
I love the cleanness of Kaare Klint and Rud Rasmussen furniture, especially the wooden criss-cross under-bars of their sofas.
I would not dress Katie Price. Ever. It's important to keep the right look, so it's important to be dressing the right people.
It's quite funny. I grew up with my mother: as a designer, she was always working, and I actually used to say to her, 'Whatever you do, never leave me your business.'
