I was brought up in Chelsea in the 60s when it was evolving from a village to a place filled with hippy madness. I was lucky - I had an incredibly happy childhood. We weren’t spoilt at all. If you needed a new dressing gown you had to wait for Christmas. My father was a jeweller, so I used to go see him at his store off Bond Street often.

I walk to work, which is 40 minutes and brisk, listening to music and the occasional podcast. (My current favourite is Fort’s On Food where Matthew interviews people like Tom Parker Bowles and Heston Blumenthal on food.) I turn on my computer to see the blizzard of emails. The day usually entails working on designs, meetings with the team and making decisions every 5 minutes. I am usually out most nights in the week doing a mixture of socialising and work, speaking on panels and at various business events.

Building a global luxury brand on my own has been the most challenging but enriching and extraordinary experience. I love seeing my pieces being worn by so many incredible, stylish women, from mothers and daughters to business leaders and even members of the royal family.

Start your business in your 20s when you have a lot of energy and time to focus on expanding it. Making mistakes in your 20s is forgivable! Be prepared to be patient.
