Now there is tons of information available online. 90% of students rarely look at magazines in their intended format because they're looking at them on a computer screen. They don't understand the layout, so when they come to putting their own portfolios together, they have no spatial awareness.

Fashion is an incredibly tough, unforgiving industry.

I've always loved books.

I wear black because I'm a large lady, and I have many exact replicas of the same black outfit.

I had a fabulous childhood. Not many people have an outdoor tennis court that you're allowed to put your ponies on and pretend you're at Hickstead.

Everything is not on a plate for you at Saint Martins - it's about personality, about working out how to do it.

Work Art You

I've always spent money on books. I've always enjoyed handling books - the size, the format. I feel very strongly about original ephemera.

Louise Wilson

I may sound like a corny bastard, but I love fashion.

I'd rather wear black than bright florals like most fat ladies do.

Fashion's transient - it moves.

In fashion, you're privileged because you're consistently working with a vanguard of youth.

Louise Wilson

Work Youth You

As much as I might decry the students, as much as they're a nightmare, it's a privilege to be among youth.

Louise Wilson

Youth You Vile

I always say to students, 'You're never going to have all the skills, but you have to have a skill.'

Louise Wilson

I think the problem is that fashion has become too fashionable.

Louise Wilson

Too Think Thin

What is good work? You just know it when you see it. You just can't explain it.

Louise Wilson

Work Good You

There's a broad range of fashion: knitwear, textiles, journalism.

The only thing with press attention is that it can be very draining on our energy store.

Louise Wilson

Wit Very Thing

We always want more, more, more. You see good work; you want it better. We push, push, push.

I'm becoming the Simon Cowell of fashion.

Youth re-energises.

Without art, you don't have society. It underpins so much.

I always thought I was going to be a professional horse rider because I rode horses competitively from zero to 17 years old.

Louise Wilson

I was very successful at three-day events, point-to-points, Pony Club, and gymkhana. But then I went to college, and because I had really good horses, they weren't going to be left in the field, so they were sold.

Louise Wilson

I have very tidy cupboards. I do like a cupboard to look nice when you open it, with the labels facing forward.

Louise Wilson

I have no unhappy memories of my childhood.

Louise Wilson

I'd love to be charming and softly spoken, but that's never going to happen.

Louise Wilson

I was going to do business studies in Newcastle because there were a lot of nightclubs. My father said if I went that route, he'd never speak to me again: credit where credit's due.

Louise Wilson

I never really liked Italy. 'Lots of cement' is my long-standing quote.

Louise Wilson

At the end of the day, I'm a very boring academic, bogged down with academia and structure and delivering an education.

Louise Wilson

In the past, you'd have one magazine, it would arrive monthly, and that was your magazine. You'd devour it; you'd absorb all the knowledge in it; you'd read it over and over again.

Louise Wilson

I've always believed that you have to have the skills before you destroy the skills. If you want to be crude, be crude, but don't be crude because you don't know how to do it, because you're not perfect at drawing and pattern-cutting.

Louise Wilson

A lot of fashion might seem boring, but it is actually quite fun: the inside, the outside, the silhouette... All the different finishes. That's a skill.

Louise Wilson

I believe intellect is needed in order to develop any creative output and that intellect alone is not enough!

Louise Wilson

Elegance for one society is not elegance for another. It's in the eyes of the beholder.

Louise Wilson

I try to stop my students doing random things on the Internet or putting work online. It doesn't get them jobs. This concept of being noticed, I don't know what it brings you.

Louise Wilson

My students are noticed by the people I respect from the quality of their work.

Louise Wilson

There's lots of bad things about teaching, but the really good thing is that you get to be around young people - irritating as they are.

Louise Wilson

The press always pick on British fashion, but I don't think that there are more successful young designers than in Paris or Milan. It's all a myth.

Louise Wilson

I was born in Cambridgeshire and moved to Scotland when I was seven.

Louise Wilson

We had six horses, and I would compete. Jumping. Cabinets full of cups. I always won.

Louise Wilson

I love to-do lists.

Louise Wilson

In 'Who's Who,' my hobbies are listed as eating, sleeping, and voicing one's opinion. Not necessarily the right opinion, but it's mine.

Louise Wilson

People think I'm rude. I'm not rude; I'm just not networking. It's just honesty.

Louise Wilson

Show-offy, I could sometimes be accused of.

Louise Wilson

I can't imagine taking up running.

Louise Wilson

Most designers don't dress in fashion. They dress in an anonymous way so that people are just judging their work.

Louise Wilson

I still believe that education is about provoking some kind of original, creative thought.

Louise Wilson

I never know what I want, but always know what I don't want.

Louise Wilson

I don't see why you wouldn't cry when you're in an intense environment.

Louise Wilson

I love hard work, energy, feeling involved.
