How did you get into fashion and why specialise in the alternative industry?
I started on a tiny sewing machine, cutting up my old and boring tops, trying to make them unique by adding zips and buttons. I look at them now and think ‘Oh God’, but at the time they gave me some basic knowledge of clothes and design. I specialised in alternative fashion as I had already been modelling in it for a year, and I found the clothes allowed for more creativity and were more challenging.
