As a Business Ambassador, I am delighted to help both new and established British designers receive the recognition they deserve in the global fashion arena.

When someone asks about a career in fashion, I say start at the bottom. If you want to start a business, you have to know it from the ground up.

If I wasn't in fashion, I would have been a psychiatrist.

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

I am Scottish. I am also British.

We are delighted to receive this recognition of the 3-Series. It is often more difficult to replace an acknowledged segment leader than to introduce a new car. Based on awards like this and the reaction by customers, the fifth generation 3-Series is a worthy successor.
