Zitat des Tages von Alice Temperley:
When I was a child, I was always nicking my mum's jewellery to wear, and I loved to drape a massive Chinese shawl around me from our fancy-dress box. I was obsessed with a feather and rabbit-fur collar from the age of three and attempted to make one with my friend, whose father was a gamekeeper.
Red carpet dressing all depends on the climate. I think richer, deeper colours are more flattering on the body, but the opposite is true if you are in Cannes or St. Tropez where the light makes deep colours look heavy and unflattering.
As far as accessories are concerned, I think it is always best to be as minimalist as possible.
I used to be frustrated about being called bohemian, but I don't really care now. If that's what you are, you should celebrate it.
I like the Hotel Costes, on rue Saint Honore, a boutique hotel near the Arc de Triomphe, the Louvre and the Tuileries. I love the dark, moody decor as well as the fantastic scented, candlelit pool in the basement.
Eclectic yet classic with a playful bohemian twist is how I'd describe my style.
I love trawling through markets and vintage shops, and I make super-quick decisions about buying clothes. I also have my usual haunts I go to when in specific cities.
I like to be real. I don't like things to be staged or fussy.
Lingerie is my next love after clothing; I think it is what is worn underneath that really inspires a woman to feel beautiful in her clothes - that inner, secret glamour.
I think fashion can always date, but I think if a woman has elegance, she doesn't date.
I keep only a small edit in my wardrobe because I think it is important to keep things moving through, and I like to find out which pieces from my collections work and which could be reworked and improved.
I like the things around me to be beautiful and slightly dreamy, with a feeling of worldliness.
With celebrity being our new religion, it's increasingly difficult to start up on your own. Talented young designers are more likely to either go and work for celebrity brands or huge fashion houses than ever before.
I think I'd go mad if I didn't have a place to escape to.
I'm a morning person, really alert.
If you took some of the behavior that you see in the fashion world and put it anywhere else, it would just be embarrassing.
I have an obsession with details and pattern.
