As a gay man, there are certain places that I avoid. When I go to China, I lie and pretend I'm not married, which is really sad - I leave my ring at home. But I'm not willing to risk my safety in a country that could cause me no end of problems or where it's illegal to be gay. I'm very aware of the places I can travel to safely and where I cannot.

When I see a shoe, I deconstruct it in my head. It comes from spending childhood summers around my grandad's denim factory in Bury, watching the machinists turn fabric into clothes.

Style is dressing the way that you feel confident and what is appropriate for you, your age, your body type.

Jeans can make or break a look, and if it's not a good-fitting pair, if they don't flatter your body, it doesn't matter what else you've got on - it's not going to look good.
