It's been a bit tricky trying to establish a 'designer' profile and not a designer-cum-girl-around-town.

To offer women something that...

To offer women something that feels more about investing in something and less about being disposable is a complete corrective to the world we live in

I had my daughter, and with that came a deep sense of responsibility; my time for work had become precious, and it had to have more meaning.

Phoebe Philo 6 quotes

The older I get, and the more...

The older I get, and the more collections I do, the more I'm driven by real style and beauty. My aim is to reveal and not to display women.

Things have to sell, of course, but if I don't want to put bags on the runway, we don't put bags on the runway. I have complete creative control.

Phoebe Philo 6 quotes

I want to show my personality...

I want to show my personality through my designs and stay pretty anonymous outside the industry.

Phoebe Philo 6 quotes

I have an innate fear of fame...

I have an innate fear of fame. I've never thought being famous looked like such a good place to be. I love being incognito.

Phoebe Philo 6 quotes

I wouldn't want to even try to begin to describe our customer, as I think she likes a certain amount of anonymity. I try to offer clothes that allow that. I myself do not like being defined so readily, so I imagine that she is similar?

I decided to work on things that obsess women because women can't resist things like lace, sequins, animal prints and python.

I'm happy to do interviews from time to time, but I don't find them that necessary - and that hasn't seemed to have affected people's understanding of our work.

I feel very much that I am a human being, with human limitations, and I need to respect that.

Time is my biggest luxury. Finding time to do things outside of fashion, which I think for a designer is incredibly important.

Phoebe Philo 6 quotes

Until you go through with it ...

Until you go through with it yourself, you simply can't imagine it. But it is the transition of going back to work and the guilt of how much time you spend with your child that's hard. I worry about not getting back in time for bath-time. I am not a neurotic person at all, but every time the mobile rings, my stomach leaps.

Phoebe Philo 6 quotes

I never had a massive desire ...

I never had a massive desire to buy clothes. I liked to customise the clothes I already had or was given when I was younger. If I didn't like them that much, I made them how I wanted them to be.

I don't know whether that comes from having a family - having something very important at home that needed to be protected.

Phoebe Philo 6 quotes

I'm not interested in clothes...

I'm not interested in clothes that just convey a certain look or fashion. Clothes for me have always been a form of self-expression.

Phoebe Philo 6 quotes

I find mediocrity hard. I fin...

I find mediocrity hard. I find that whole area difficult. I'm a very passionate person; I care very much about what I do. I believe I give it a lot, so it's gotta be good; otherwise, what's the point?

Phoebe Philo 6 quotes

My relationship with fashion ...

My relationship with fashion is playful and very expressive of what I'm feeling at the time.

Phoebe Philo 6 quotes

My mother used to dress me in...

My mother used to dress me in quite good-taste clothes, and I really wanted things that were sparkly and spangly and trashy and nasty. I don't know if I ever chose fashion; it was just there in me.

Phoebe Philo 6 quotes

I do like the idea of women not showing too much, of them being quite reserved in a way, and quite covered.
