"....my idea is to 'de-precious' the fabrics and techniques that have always been reserved for special occasion wear, and have them worn to death like your favourite knit. I'm using Italian yarns for my knitted sweaters so why not be using silk for summer skirts that you wear to the beach over your togs? Better still, with something printed on it. it's not the olden days... you don't have to hide silk in your glory box. get it out and wear it, it's one of the most beautiful yarns on the planet ”  Lisa Gorman, designer & creative director, gorman.
