“I was 12 when I started really wanting stuff from other brands. It was the first year of Tom Ford at Gucci and there were those velvet suits in red or blue. My mum got me a coat from the winter collection on sale, but she made me change all the buttons because they had the double G logo. Not because it was Gucci and not Missoni, but because she thought it was not right for a 12-year-old girl going to school in a Gucci coat. She knew she had created a little monster by then.”
