Name three things that are inspiring you for autumn/winter 2009: “Hunger, opportunity and commercial chic.”
What are your design signatures? “Unique, unexpected materials; quality tailoring with hidden detail in contemporary, classical shapes.”
How would you describe the Paul Costelloe woman? “An international, modern woman, aged between 27 and 97. She is discreet; she wants to be seen but not screened.”
What is your most recent London discovery? “A very un-trendy, basic, Turkish restaurant in the east end called Mangal. Of course, it’s even better if you can cycle there as cycling is the passport to London.”
