I tried to put direct to consumer through a wholesales channel - the industry was just not ready to adapt and change. The other issue I had was with Jimmy Choo.

There's this sort of migration west at the moment, a sort of energy that's definitely moving to LA.

The city [ LA] is kind of going through an interesting transition; sort of renaissance time where there is so much going on here. I think it's really exciting to be here.

If I wasn't in fashion, I would have been a psychiatrist.

I have a personal motto that I live by, which is feel the fear and do it anyway. If you fail, you get up and you keep trying again.

The thing about Uggs is that they're so comfortable. Once you've worn them, you don't want to go back.

I went back to the factories that I worked with at Jimmy Choo because they don't work for Jimmy Choo exclusively.
