I designed the miniskirt that caused so much havoc in the Sixties - the miniskirt that was such fun but has travelled well to today.

As well as being a creative genius, Vidal Sassoon was a formative figure of the Sixties. Along with the Pill and the mini-skirt, his influence was truly liberating.

Most of my memories of the Sixties are ones of optimism, high spirits and confidence.

I always designed clothes from a very young age because I didn't like the way they were. They were paralyzing; they were stilted.

Fashion is not frivolous. It is a part of being alive today.

Having money is rather like being a blond. It is more fun but not vital.
