in good company.

Company has been my regular monthly read for a while now - it's small enough to carry around, has loads of interesting features, the paper feels amazing AND it often features bloggers! Absolute winner. (And if that wasn't enough, the scrummy Gem works there now too!)

The new issue is out TOMORROW and this month's cover girl is Nicole Richie. Here are a few snippets from her interview!

Secrets behind my collection:

The S/S12 range was inspired by my travels to the Souks of Marrakech, as well as Egyptian Sarcophagus. The feminine qualities are juxtaposed with intricate woven details, saturated colours and hardware that bring the old world to the present day. For A/W12, the collections are inspired by the 1970s and gothic rock.

I most like seeing my designs worn by..

Anyone who is passionate about what they choose to wear and are excited and motivated by my designs. I always design for women who love to play with fashion. I study what people are drawn to by personally getting feedback from my customers. I admire anyone who is fearless in what they choose to wear.

My fashion girl crush is

Oh that is so hard, but probably Kate Moss.

My success =

My husband and children keeping me grounded, and I work very closely with my brilliant team to build the brand. Scheduling is key!

I’m happiest when shopping for

vintage clothing and furniture at flea markets.

The most fashionable place on earth has to be

My mother’s closet.

British style rocks because

British girls have a very unique sense of style; they can throw vintage, high street and designer pieces together to create one great look That is so inspiring!

Aspiring designers, listen up!

Be true to yourself and stay strong and focused at all times.
