Alice Temperley quotes:

I love trawling through markets and vintage shops, and I make super-quick decisions about buying clothes. I also have my usual haunts I go to when in specific cities.

Lingerie is my next love after clothing; I think it is what is worn underneath that really inspires a woman to feel beautiful in her clothes - that inner, secret glamour.

I get up between 6:30 and 7 A.M., and my morning routine is always the same: hot water and lemon, eggs on toast and rose oil on the face.

I loved being in London. Always walking everywhere, always out and about and always at markets, walking around Brick Lane and Covent Garden and Soho.

With celebrity being our new religion, it's increasingly difficult to start up on your own. Talented young designers are more likely to either go and work for celebrity brands or huge fashion houses than ever before.

You have to stay true to your heritage; that's what your brand is about.

Eclectic yet classic with a playful bohemian twist is how I'd describe my style.

I used to be frustrated about being called bohemian, but I don't really care now. If that's what you are, you should celebrate it.

When it comes to shoes, I always think Charlotte Olympia, of course! Her footwear is always feminine and sexy and also just right for every occasion.

I try to take care of myself, and I lead a healthy lifestyle.

I'm a morning person, really alert.

I like the Hotel Costes, on rue Saint Honore, a boutique hotel near the Arc de Triomphe, the Louvre and the Tuileries. I love the dark, moody decor as well as the fantastic scented, candlelit pool in the basement.

I like to be real. I don't like things to be staged or fussy.

I love long power walks in the countryside.

When I was a child, I was always nicking my mum's jewellery to wear, and I loved to drape a massive Chinese shawl around me from our fancy-dress box. I was obsessed with a feather and rabbit-fur collar from the age of three and attempted to make one with my friend, whose father was a gamekeeper.

Red carpet dressing all depends on the climate. I think richer, deeper colours are more flattering on the body, but the opposite is true if you are in Cannes or St. Tropez where the light makes deep colours look heavy and unflattering.

As far as accessories are concerned, I think it is always best to be as minimalist as possible.

Lingerie is that inner, secret glamour.

I like the things around me to be beautiful and slightly dreamy, with a feeling of worldliness.

I'm from the middle of nowhere in Somerset, and if I have too much stimulus or chaos, then I tend to not be as creative.

A lot of self-importance goes on in the fashion industry. I'm not like that.

Clothes can transform your mood and confidence.

Fashion moves so quickly that, unless you have a strong point of view, you can lose integrity.

It should be natural, and that's how I like women to look. I like them to feel comfortable and look organic.

Remember, its all about you and the dress. Nothing more, so keep the accessories very discreet.

I don't think many people would think I'm a designer. I behave in a different way. I'd get knocked down and cut to pieces if I went home and flounced about; this industry is known for the flounciness, but I've got my feet on the ground.

I like the things around me to be beautiful and slightly dreamy, with a feeling of worldliness."

My favourite finds are often antique pieces with a history.

I can live in a bubble, I like not to know anything about financials.

I was always in trouble at school for what I was wearing; I was never made a prefect because of the way I used to dress - I ripped my tights, my skirts were too short, all sorts of things.

Eclectic yet classic with a playful bohemian twist is how Id describe my style.

I think fashion can always date, but I think if a woman has elegance, she doesnt date.
