Product Information

You’re right; this is a careful balance and one that takes a long time to achieve. We do this when painting scenery to highlight the character, with often contrasting colours to make the elements sing. This kind of colouration is key in our lilac and yellow rose Care Bear pyjamas. We also use a lot of our archive artworks in collaborations so followers of each brand can recognise the heritage icons from each IP – and marvel at how beautifully they sit together! Most days start by taking my eldest daughter to the ice rink. Even though that’s at 5AM, I find it very peaceful to watch and work at the same time! Often we are shooting the collections – truly delightful days! – so from the rink I’ll run to a location house. We will shoot all categories in a week, and often the set is buzzing with children, babies, dogs, and our amazing shoot team.

I’d imagine the day-to-day life of a Creative Director greatly differs from company to company, so what does a typical day look like for you? If there is one!

It does always differ from day to day, but I try and keep a constant, which is to continue to hand paint a print for every season. These are my most joyful days as I connect with my print team and get to think quietly about next collections and ideas while I paint.

He was always drawing, and so was I! Print design was a natural progression as it combines my absolute love for fashion with illustration and painting. The possibilities in print design are endless, making each piece a work of art. I started my career at Alexander McQueen and Lee taught me that nothing was impossible… He was the world’s greatest. What he taught me gives me lifelong inspiration.
