I go to L.A. three or four times a year. It's great for research.

I am really looking forward to walking past people on the street wearing my clothes and know I am designing for an everyday woman.

I don't really see the point in planning to show off-schedule. I think it's things like showing on-schedule that helps London be organised as it is.

Making your own clothes is great - but don't make everything, or I'll be out of a job!

I tend to split my activities into fun, income and legacy. The number of things in that finance bucket is pretty few and far between and doesn't consume much time at all.

I basically see two reasons for a going public: Glencore gets access to more money. It is a way of funding your business and to finance growth. Plus: You have more liquid shares. It is easier to leave the company and redeem your shares. The 'going public' may also be an exit strategy for the top management.

I'm very aware that just driving blindly towards money won't get me anything. I drive blindly towards making the world a better place.

Even the securest financial plan and the finest health coverage aren't enough to hold us steady when the challenges come... We need something more, something deeper and unshakeable, something that will see us through life's hard times.
