Why I want to meet Olivier Theyskens

After having the rug pulled from under him, firstly with his private signature collection and secondly with Maison Rochas by P&G, Olivier is the poster boy for not only preserverence but calmness and grit. His creativity is brilliant and his vision is original and ethereal. Yeah, I wouldn’t mind owning a couple of his gowns too!

Why I want to meet Zinédine Yazid Zidane

I want to know the real story behind the head-butting and to meet one of the best footballer (yeah, that’s how I call it) in the world. Vive le bleu et vive zizou!

Why I admire Coco Chanel

For building a formidable and revolutionary fashion empire which started from a simple little black dress and for setting the standards in fashion for elegance, class and sophistication. This all from a girl who grew up in a small farm in France.

Why I admire Ludwig Mies Van der Rohe

Great vision on architecture & design. Defined modern architecture.

Why I admire Queen Elizabeth 1

I admire QE1 for her gutsiness and her My Way or The Highway attitude. In the days when women play a more submissive role in society, the ballsy queen redefined the role of a leader by inspiring her army, growing her fleet, revamping the English banking system, stremlining the church and promoted the arts (William Shakespeare, The Globe Theater). Although famously known as the Virgin Queen, QE1 is committed to her country and her people. She was a role model and continues to be one for women and leaders of today.

A story about Yvon Chouinard

I recently read Yvon’s book Let My People Go Surfing and found it to be eye-opening and refreshing. His passion for nature and his forward thinking vision in protecting the environment for the generations to come is truly inspiring. As a business person, he puts his team, quality, Patagonia’s core customers, and the environment in the forefront of this thoughts and business philosophy. We could all learn a thing or two from Yvon.

Why I admire John Mayer

because he’s absolutely BRILLIANT. It’s that simple.
