It's amazing how much resilience you can have when you're passionate about a project that you're doing.

I'm always impressed by confidence, kindness and a sense of humour.

I think it takes 30 years to build a luxury brand.

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.

It felt like strappy sandals were looking really old lady-ish; really dated and not cool.

My business savvy it’s instinct. Everything I do is just really my intuition, and every time I go against my intuition, it’s a mistake. Even though I may sit down and analyze and intellectualize something on paper, if I go against my gut feeling, it’s wrong.

My motto is: feel the fear and do it anyway.
