“I love winter fashion like woolly coats, hats and boots and being cosy...” — Dawn O'Porter Quote

“I love winter fashion like woolly coats, hats and boots and being cosy by the fire. Autumn and early spring walks in the park are lovely, but rainy walks with our dog Potato every morning are just too much.”

“I was living in a house in the West Village of New York and trying to be Carrie Bradshaw. I wrote a whole 5 pages about this character who wasn't going to wear high heels because it was not empowering. I've read that article 1000 times, it's so boring! I was writing really cliched women's stuff which is exactly what I didn't want to write.”

“How the snow falls in the north! Flake on flake falling incessantly, until the small dingles are almost on a level with the uplands. It throws itself on the leaves of autumn, and holds them down in security from the strongest winds.”

“Shuddering under the autumn stars, each year, the head sinks lower and lower.”

“Designers want me to dress like Spring, in billowing things. I don't feel like Spring. I feel like a warm red Autumn.”
