The beliefs I was raised with - to respect animals and to be aware of nature, to understand that we share this planet with other creatures - have had a huge impact on me.

I think the moment that I'm very proud of is building a business without using animals. And, hopefully, changing people's perception of how you can do luxury fashion.

I ride my bike, I work out, I do a bit of, er, dancey things.

My mum taught me to have a soul.

At times I make music, but in private.

Success financially is a measure of creative success, it is the same in all arts.

My biggest surprises in my everyday job have to do with the challenges of trying to be slightly more responsible as a brand.
