I believe all positive things and negative things are valuable because they shape you.

Pre-Internet, maybe it took six months for a fashion message to get across to a customer base. Fashion messages are now being sent out overnight, simultaneously, to every market in the world.

British fashion is a serious business. The British fashion industry is worth £21bn to the U.K. economy and employs 819,000 people across the country.

The power of your thoughts can influence how events turn out. I'm a positive person -- when bad things happen, I can see the silver lining. As a result I think I am very lucky, even though I probably have as much bad luck as anyone else, and that translates into seeing opportunity.

When you love something, it doesn't feel like work.

Britain has the most creative, dynamic and nimble fashion industry in the world.

I think fashion is actually very good training for being in the tech world, because it's all about moving on to the next thing, looking for the next thing, not getting stuck in the past.

Grown-up clothes are more appealing because customers need to be able to project themselves into them.

I don't get manicures, pedicures. I don't get my hair done as often as I should.

I love that I love my job, and from what I'm told, that others who I work with do, too.

I've taken the love of fashion from my mother, and journalism from my father.

I think the fashion industry was slightly put off by people they didn't know. They were presented with things like 20-gatefold color brochures.

My personal ambition remains the same -- to be creative, to be modern, to stay one step ahead, to enjoy life.

I'm supporting the School for Creative Startups because the project's ambition -- to boost innovation and the culture of entrepreneurship -- is something I feel strongly about.

I see ghosts.

Touching clothes is just shopping foreplay, but it's changing. After all, you don't need to try a Mercedes to know that you'd like one.

It is a changing world with changing opportunities.

Twice I let people talk me out of good ideas.

The interesting thing about London is that there are always stylish surprises around every corner.

We're seeing a crazy appetite for people to acquire and invest in British businesses.
