Fashion Week is horrible. I mean, it isn't horrible, really - it's amazing. But having to work that much every day is.

Fashion is really a place where every other industry connects, whether it's music or acting.

For a lot of people, it's a massive deal to be on the front row at Fashion Week and look perfect. I don't go to be seen; I go to look at the collections and support my friends, like Henry, Giles and Jonathan Saunders. As much as I love clothes and shopping, it doesn't drive me.

London Fashion Week isn't the most organised, but I don't mind that. It's such an exciting place - it's small and cool.
