"The concept of the glove came about one evening at The V&A in London, when Alexander McQueen, Shaun Leane and I were talking about how we could protect and empower fragile people by using fashion as armour. Shaun and I then embarked on the lengthy process of creating it - the most beautiful artefact of contemporary wearable armour."
