He has produced a permanent installation, Plant Power, for the Natural History Museum in London. He was awarded the prestigious Moet Chandon Fashion Tribute for 2006. In 2010, he received an medal as Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire in recognition of the contribution he has made to the arts over his illustrious career.
