The young Japanese, especially, love to wear the latest thing and when they come to London they head for my shops as part of what they want to find in Britain.

My clothes have a story. They have an identity. They have a character and a purpose. That's why they become classics. Because they keep on telling a story. They are still telling it.

The essence of Government is power; and power, lodged as it must be in human hands, will ever be liable to abuse.

The essence of love is concern.
