I love Alexander McQueen. I like the construction of his suits. I think it's fantastic.

For so long Versace couture was identified with celebrities and music, which I love. But at the same time it could overwhelm the clothes.

I go from a full working day to making sure I am home for dinner with my kids. I couldn't do that in a 10cm mini skirt but I am not going to resort to sweatpants and an old t-shirt.

When my mother did fittings for her clients, I was hiding, looking at these beautiful ladies try on these fantastic clothes. I was dreaming as a small child to try these clothes on myself.

It's very important for a brand to have an identity through the years, but it's very important as well to evolve because times change so fast.

Scent is very important. Strong fragrances suit some men, while citrus types suit others. I like my men to smell fresh and woody, but also like a man.

You can be too boring, but you can never be too seductive.
