FROM THE VAULT (SUMMER 2011)
NAME: Pam Hogg.
AGE: ageless.
OCCUPATION: designer/artist/musician.
CURRENT EMPLOYER: myself.
DO YOU EVER WEAR YOUR OWN DESIGNS?
“I make everything on myself for myself so yes.”
CAN YOU MULTITASK?
“I do the job of 10 people all at once, but I’m concentrating on that word ‘delegate’ right now.”
ARE YOU ONLY AS GOOD AS YOUR LAST COLLECTION?
“I’m still buzzing and visualising the next, so I feel I’m better than the last one.”
ARE YOU/WERE YOU A JUVENILE DELINQUENT?
“I’m more rebel than delinquent. I was moralistic as a child but the more knowledge I acquired the more I grew to question authority.”
DO YOU GET RECOGNISED ON THE STREET? DO YOU HAVE/HAVE YOU EVER HAD A STALKER?
“Yes, quite often, but I’ve never had any serious stalkers. They’re generally cute fans and really respectful.”
HAVE YOU EVER THROWN A DIVA STROP?
“No, but I’ve gone crazy many times at incompetence when I’m stressed out.”
WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE WAY MOST PEOPLE DRESS?
“I only really notice when someone looks stunning, but it doesn’t mean they have to look ‘fashionable’.”
WAS THERE A PARTICULAR POINT WHEN YOU STARTED TO GET AMBITIOUS?
“I don’t know if it was ambition but I had a tremendous desire to create something right from when I was a small child.”
HAVE YOU ALWAYS BEEN ALL ABOUT FASHION?
“I’ve never been about fashion. I love making clothes and dressing up.”
DALLAS OR DYNASTY? SUE ELLEN OR ALEXIS?
“Loved Dallas but it has to be Dynasty for Alexis!”
