Fashion: Q & A with designer Sadie Hawker

If you could dress anyone in the world, who would it be and why?

Ooh good question! Lately I think Kim Kardashian needs a good wardrobe makeover. I don't watch her programmes but I have enjoyed looking at her outfits as inspiration for hourglass-shaped women. However recently she's worn some atrocities, so I'd like to help her sort herself out again.

What is the most treasured item in your wardrobe?

I have a couple of vintage dresses that I will never let go of, but out of all of my dresses I have to say I love my Peter Jensen for Topshop the most. I bought it on a whim just before moving to New Zealand and think it's amazing. En routeto New Zealand from Wales my boyfriend and I road tripped around California/Nevada and I remember wearing the dress in Las Vegas and feeling pretty swish in it.

What is your favorite item from your current collection?

The crystal quartz necklaces - Rock Goddess and Rocked Up ($52-$61). I bought the quartz pieces in New York in December and have been dying to show them off for months. Each quartz piece is like a rainbow - they're truly beautiful stones.

What did your school report card say?

"Sadie would make an excellent Head Girl one day." I was a bit of a geek at school (and did make Head Girl)!

If you were on mastermind, what would your specialist topic be?

I do a daily quiz with friends and always seem to answer the questions that ask, "Which word precedes the following three words ...", so I guess that would be my specialist topic of late!
