One of my fondest memories was when I was in London as a young, independent businesswoman and stayed at Claridge's. I knew I had made it. To me, Claridge's is the most glamourous hotel in the world; I regard it as my home away from home. I am honoured to become part of the hotel's legacy and rich design history.

My best friend is me, and I take good care of me.

If you like trekking, go to the Himalayas or Peru. I love those kinds of trips. But it all depends on your own life and what you like and what you expect.

The important thing is to take your time and not get stressed.

It's the woman you should remember, not the dress, ever.

Fashion is a mysterious energy, a visual moment-impossible to predict where it goes.

The whole point about beauty is its imperfection.
