I don't have a mentor in the strict definition. I take as much advice and inspiration as I can from the people I am close to.

Even if I am predisposed to shop online, I see bricks and mortar as part of marketing.

Don't let the American accent fool you. I am British.

I have donated money to campaigns. And I have been known to take to the street in protest. But I am more committed to my immediate politics than general politics.

I am honoured and excited to be taking on the role of chairman of the British Fashion Council.

As much as I love to shop online, I also love walking the streets on a beautiful day and seeing what finds I can discover in a small shop or vintage store.
