What turns you on in your work? Meeting all the amazing people that make up the fashion industry. There’s nothing like meeting a rare talent.

Who inspires me: Anyone who turns dreams into realities.

Tell us your latest obsession: I’m more than a little obsessed with interiors right now, and doing up my apartment. In particular I love the work of American interior designer Dorothy Draper and her “modern baroque” style of the 1930s to ’50s, with its graphic black and white mixed with baroque fittings and bold colours. I could go on… and on…

What is your dream for the future? Lots of travel… a renovated kitchen… a fashion industry that continues to push boundaries with new technologies and imagination… plenty of good wine shared with great friends… and, en route to world peace, an end to intolerance of all kinds.

Finish this sentence: Style is . . . a state of mind.
