I guess I've been to the hairdressers in more than 10 different countries.

The whole scale and scope of the decorating and fashion business in this country are incomparably grander than in London. What's thrilling about America in general, and the New York fashion scene in particular, is its optimism. It makes the whole experience energizing and uplifting.

I haven't frequented a nail salon in a long time.

I don't like the fashion world. It's too nasty, too rip-off, too hard. And now it's all Gucci and Prada; it's very difficult to make your own business.

I'm regularly speaking at London Business School and Harvard Business School. They're the next generation of leaders in the fashion industry.

I have no regrets about launching Salon. For the life of me, I can't imagine doing anything else.

Fashion is always seen as somewhat frivolous and self-indulgent. And I think people on the inside maybe don't see or understand how exciting and diverse a business it is.

There's different shopping in Paris than there is at a bazaar in Istanbul, but they're all wonderful.

I love fashion, but I don't really do shopping.

I don't enjoy traveling in America. I don't like the food, the cars. It is not exotic enough. It all tastes a bit like airline food.
