Susannah Constantine quotes

I'm much more self-conscious clothed than unclothed. I'm a frustrated Page Three girl. I have no shame about my body. (Susannah Constantine)

In social situations I still feel scared. My best friend and husband give me the freedom to be myself.

It is a myth that style can't be learnt. It's all about dressing for your body shape, following the rules and wearing colours that suit your skin tone.

I worked in Harrods as a sales girl and I was so lazy, I just sat on my arse all day. Now I have huge respect for shop girls. It was boring, so I tried to shoplift things, but we'd always get our bags checked.

It's been very satisfying to design a range which is all about shape. It's not about what size you are, it's about how you can minimise or accentuate parts of your body with clothing. That's what we've created.

I did have Botox once and I felt like I'd had a stroke. It was so claustrophobic.

I had one little glimpse in the mirror and it was like an electric shock. Horrifying. It took me three or four days to get over it. On air, the plastic surgeon said: "Would you have anything done?" Oh no, I said. "Do you smoke?" No, never. Soon as the camera was off I took his card and had a cigarette.

Generally speaking Scottish women are pretty good. Look at Sharleen Spiteri and Lulu - you've got two fabulously well-dressed women in different ways.

The show is much more emotional now. It's a journey, but it is still about clothes, too. It's been fascinating to see how looking good and having faith in your appearance makes you into a sexier person, which makes you attractive to your partner again. We come in as complete strangers and get to know them all extremely well. It was a privilege for Trinny and I to have these people feel they could open up to us. It was very humbling, too.

What it is, is that you're (Trinny) the accelerator and I'm (Susannah) the break. And that's why it works.

For us, it's all about shape, and how that is going to cure a bodily defect. (Susannah Constantine)

Our primary concern is not to be style icons ourselves.

Susannah Constantine

Too fat, too thin, what the fuck are you supposed to be? God bless the media!

Susannah Constantine

Posh does not equal style. Really, God, that's just ridiculous. Posh equals tradition. Anyone can achieve style. It doesn't matter who you are or where you're from.

Susannah Constantine

My boobs are the bane of my life, they're a real burden. Every time I have a baby, I go up two sizes. I'll probably be an E cup after this. I can't bear it.

This series is more campaigning. It is more journalistic, but still hugely entertaining. It's a show we feel more proud of than anything we've done to date.

We've created a range of clothing which is almost like a prescription from the doctor. Our clothes do the same thing. If you're not happy with your bum, then there's a coat that's going to hide it. If you want to create a waist, there's a dress that's going to do that for you too. We've designed it very much around the female body."
