No one in my family had a retail or marketing background. They were professionals. They didn't understand just what I was doing by going into retailing. After I started, though, it got into my blood. I knew this was what I wanted.

I'm a massive shopper. Topshop, Urban Outfitters - I'm pretty at home on the high street.

I'm not a big shopper.

I am a compulsive and concise shopper.

I've never worked in a retail store, but I did sell shoes at Gimme Shoes in San Francisco, a job I was fired from.

Because I'm a designer, I'm quite good when I shop. I know what I'm looking for.

My first job was in retail at the age of 14, and I have worked in the industry ever since.

In another life, I could be a personal shopper.

I'm lucky that I was in retailing during the time that I call the golden age of retailing.

I do not really shop. Most of my clothes I make. I dress simply.
