“My friend George and I were walking on the beach in Norfolk, and there were thousands of razor-clam shells. They were so beautiful, I thought I had to do something with them. The shells had outlived their usefulness on the beach, so we put them to another use on a dress. Then Erin came out and trashed the dress, so their usefulness was over once again. Kind of like fashion, really.”
