I think I've always had an obsession with collecting, as most people do.

The first thing I do in the morning is have an espresso - straight up - and read the papers. I like 'The Independent,' 'The Times,' and the 'Financial Times.'

I'm not the best at getting myself breakfast, but if I do, I'll normally have toast and marmalade.

Whether I'm at home in London or in Paris for Loewe, I always like to walk to work.

I could binge-eat cheese - I love any blue cheese. Make it strong; make it deadly.

I always love to look at something that I couldn't make, because I feel it's enlightening. It means you are not invincible: you can respect something and look up to it and go, 'Wow!' It's a skill that I don't have, but I can understand the merit of it.

I think ceramics are so amazing because they're incredibly educational - you can buy something made in the 14th century, and it looks like it was made yesterday. There's something to be learned there, and ceramics can tell you the history of the time because they're functional vessels, ultimately.

To restart a brand, you have to make people forget what it was.

I love the immediacy of Instagram. My feed really is my train of thought. If I'm really excited about something, I'll just put it up.

I didn't reinvent clothing; I reinvented the edit.

I would say I work very emotionally: I have a very compulsive way of working, where I love something to the moment I am sick of it. I have no addiction outside of work, so my addiction is that process.

I find it very difficult to see the boundary between womenswear and menswear. It's bizarre the ways in which society reacts; they find it difficult to comprehend seeing parts of the body on a man. I think it's fascinating.

I feel like if you have balance in life, you have to be consumed by your job because, ultimately, it will never be a job; it will never be something that you feel you're working on.

I grew up during one of Northern Ireland's most complex periods.

For me, doing an interview with someone is like having therapy.

The minute you see that everything is going one way, you get the hell out.

I was very into swimming, but I was never into contact sports. I think it was because I knew I wasn't going to get damaged.

When I was younger, we went to Ibiza a lot because my parents bought an apartment there. I feel like that has always stuck with me.

When I became a teenager, I got very into clothing. I remember cutting Gucci advertisements and sticking them on my wall.

People get bored very quickly.

I think, in history, everything is about the remix.

No one reads anything. They just look at images.

I try to live my life free of regrets, but I do have one style regret that makes me laugh and cringe at the same time. Mum used to dress my brother and me in bright neon bike pants and big baggy t-shirts that were so long you could barely see our bike pants.

For me, fashion should always be evolving so it remains exciting and unexpected.

Trend-wise, I hope to keep bringing completely new collections to the industry that will make people think and defy the norm.

I love collecting things from auction - we Brits really are hoarders and collectors.

When I first came to Wakefield Cathedral, I thought, 'How does man conceive to build something like this?' It's a building that has transcended time over the centuries, and you appreciate the magnitude of humankind's power and vision. When you're inside, you feel as though the rest of the world doesn't exist.

I collect craft. It inspires me.

For me, fashion is exciting, and it should be exciting whether you get it wrong or right.

If you do generic things, you know, after a while, brands or designers become stagnated.

I'm very open about my referencing; I'm very open about who I work with.

I've collected John Ward pieces for years. Ward represents ideas of nature and of sediments.

For me, menswear is an experimental ground to play with something. There is scope to be gained there - you can create a new normality.

I always think the great thing about shirting is that it goes with jeans, and jeans are probably the most modern, functional garment that ever existed. That is what is so great about shirting - it is an up-play-down-play.

I believe that collaboration is one of the most important things in any field.

When I do a fashion show, it's not done until it exits out of the door.

When I started at Loewe, I took a year out before we did a collection because I felt we needed to work out all the fundamentals. The pencils, the door handles, the style of the press release, the stone of the buildings, the choice of photographer.

We put something on Instagram, and it gets reposted, and it's everywhere, and a minute later it's gone, over. I don't see that as a negative thing; it's the way my mind works, too.

The minute you can be predicted, as a brand, you've got a problem.

I find it difficult to go to museums. I prefer houses.

Sometimes you fall out of love with what you do. Some days, you wake up and wish you worked on a farm.

I've realised that when fashion is really good and really challenges and takes a risk, it is incredibly artistically powerful. It makes people dream.

Luxury stores are such a difficult thing because, ultimately, their purpose is to sell, but I do think you can get more out of a store.

Britain and America are two examples where social media will only show you what you like.

I grew up in Northern Ireland, in the middle of nowhere, and when you are poor, you are really poor. And when you are rich, you are very rich. This is not a new phenomenon.

When I was a kid, I remember the fear of going into big brand stores. You didn't want to go in because you felt like you couldn't afford anything.

What's so important with fashion imagery and with imagery in general is that it ultimately evokes an emotion.

Sunspel is about British craft and community - both of which are very important to me.

I never set out to work on the concept of androgyny. For me, it was more about trying to find a wardrobe that would fundamentally appeal to both men and women: Trying to find the right shirt, the right jeans, the right trouser - but on different landscapes.
