Sculptor, London
Todd Selby: ‘Andrew is the master of colour, both in his art and the accessories he designs which are used by Zandra Rhodes, Emanuel Ungaro and Comme des Garçons. His use of materials is fascinating: he cites asteroids, crystals, meteorites and glitter as his favourites. He is unique – one of those artists who inhabits their own world. He has his own visual language and colours. His concepts are so out there’ Photograph: Todd Selby
Gallerist and founder of 10 Corso Como, Milan
Todd Selby: ‘Carla has such a sweetness to her. She’s a real curator and surrounds herself with a family of artists and photographers she’s worked with for a long time. She’s shy and discreet and quite a sensible person. Her workspace is covered in flower sculptures as she can’t have real flowers in vases – she couldn’t bear to kill anything' Photograph: Todd Selby
Fashion designer, Antwerp
Todd Selby: ‘His process was so different to that of any other designer I’ve ever met – Dries is very materials oriented. He is very much a perfectionist in that all his pieces are shipped from the factory where they are made to the studio to be checked before they’re sent out to stockists, which is unusual and a huge expense. He has his own way of doing things’ Photograph: Todd Selby
Fashion designer, Paris
Todd Selby: ‘Isabel never works with a fit model, she tries everything on herself. So her design process involves her wearing her own pieces and living with them for a bit – if it doesn’t work for her, then it doesn’t make the collection. It’s a real strength because she’s one of those designers who often creates a “must have” item that blows everything else out of the water and gets copied to death’ Photograph: Todd Selby
Hair designer, Paris
Todd Selby: ‘Marisol loves living, human hair which she works into fantastic pieces. Her salon in Paris is a special space where she creates wearable masterpieces of hair art. They’re very sought after for shows and by collectors and are like nothing you have seen before’ Photograph: Todd Selby
