I’m not sure the peony can be beaten. They’re bold and blousy yet amazingly fragile at the same time.

 And are also supposed to symbolise good fortune and a happy marriage – what’s not to love!

I find this really difficult to pinpoint! I’m relatively paired down – a maximalist I am not.

 I never like to look like I’ve tried too hard. But I do gravitate towards bold print and colour- particularly for evening. 

For day, a polished boho, for night glam retro. I guess you could say I go French for day and Italian for night!

 I never have a huge amount of time to put the ‘look’ together so it’s an instinctive, 

how do I feel today, discreet or statement. I can easily go one day from 

all black Alaia style to an Ulla Johnson paisley jumpsuit the next.

I am so in love with the Malati dress! Print, style- everything about it really. 

I am heavily into puff sleeves at the moment and love a longer length so it ticks all the right boxes.

 The Zoya comes a very close second. It fits like a glove, has a gentle 70’s feel

 and is super flattering. Also loving red right now.

I’ve always had quite a strong work ethic and push myself to succeed. I have two older brothers and always 

felt like the under dog, struggling to keep up with them when I was a child so that certainly instilled a 

competitive nature. I’m lucky to have found an industry that I truly love- it was always the dream to work in

 fashion so I can honestly say it is (mostly!) a joy to sit down and work. And of course, succeeding for my girls, 

being an inspiring role model and making my husband proud are key factors. I’m not a massive 

planner in life, but I am an optimist and I have vision and like to strive to 

make the most of my time here.

Without doubt my three wonderful girls. 

Becoming Fashion Director at Tatler age 30 was a close second.

I went interrailing around Italy with my best friend when I was 19 and to this day cannot get over how 

utterly majestic Rome is. I would love to go back with the whole family. I adore Italy and there is just

 so much to see in the capital. So much history and romance. It’s like a film set! I was lucky

 enough to organize a shoot there a few years afterwards- we could have carried on shooting for days.

It also reminds me of one of my favourite movies- The Talented Mr Ripley.

Definitely not my plane. I hate flying and have battled my fear for years! Now thankfully over the worst, 

but if I could choose, probably train. It’s so refined, dignified. And probably the only time 

(when travelling to and from Paris) that I put my phone down and take in the scenery. 

With life passing by at such a pace, it’s a luxury to slow everything down, look, breath and take stock.

I have never lived in New York – visited probably a hundred times! But never lived. And I can imagine an easy 

transition there with the family. However, in later life, Italy beckons. There is no where else like it,

 the food, the light, the people. I could definitely grow old making pasta and 

drinking Prosecco amongst the Cypress trees.
