The main challenge is technology and that's something I really push and work closely with Adidas on. They're real leaders in sports performance; always trying to push that further and further and get the best technology they can.

You get to work with fantastic athletes, and that's a fantastic thing that has nothing to do with my day job in ready-to-wear.
