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

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.

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.

If a woman gets tough in negotiations, she's difficult, whereas a man would be considered a brilliant businessman.

My worst date would be with someone nervous who has nothing to say. I like people who inspire me.

There have been moments in my career when I've had to be tough and I've had to step up to the plate - but usually that's because a man has underestimated me. But other than that, I wouldn't say I'm a tough person.
