Favourite neighbourhood:
I’ve always been a fan of Mayfair.
Favourite place for brunch:
Dorian in Notting Hill: Caviar Rosti, Landes Chicken and Ice Cream Sandwich – thank me later…
Best coffee in London:
I like to think of myself as a coffee connoisseur. Queens of Mayfair has the top 3 coffee I have ever had.
Favourite gallery or museum:
Perhaps it’s a bit cliche, but the Tate Modern is by far the best in London in my opinion. However, I would be remiss if I didn’t also mention the Natural History Museum, which brings back a lot of childhood memories for me.
Tell us a secret:
If I wasn’t a fashion designer and entrepreneur, I wanted to be a naval aviator.
Favourite place to shop:
In London or the world, Harrods is the ultimate standard in retail
Best London destination for a date:
Evelyn’s Table is quite a sleek and seductive spot.
Favourite park:
It has to be Hyde Park!

I have to admit I find most food market’s overwhelming and crowded, but Covent Garden I think has the most charm.

My hotel room.
What inspires you?
The greatest inspiration I have are my 3 kids. They inspire me to continuously strive for greatness and be a better person. Hopefully, I also inspire them.
This season I’m loving…
Harrods for giving me the opportunity to showcase my work and bring my brand into the storied retailer, whom I regard as the pinnacle of luxury and service in the world .
