She also dressed other artists including Rihanna, Lady Gaga, and Jessie J, as well as models such as Naomi Campbell, Claudia Schiffer, and Kate Moss, who was also one of her close friends.

According to her website, Hogg described herself as a “punk” icon and cited music as one of the greatest influences on her designs. In 2016, she designed the trophy for the BRIT Awards, the British music awards.
