"Carine Roitfeld is my ultimate style crush, all the girls that work at French Vogue are über chic, simple and inspiring and I love how groomed and elegant Aerin Lauder is. I'm constantly reading magazines, looking at blogs etc and my favourite time of year is fashion week so I can pour over the street style shots....my favourite pastime!

I'm in Dundee for some business meetings and checking out progress on the new look Debenhams store which will be opening soon. There is a great energy in Dundee and I love how fashion forward the city has become."

Why Dundee?  I came to Dundee to study Textiles at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design in 1989 and stayed because the city grew on me. I really enjoy the mix of city life, countryside walks and living so close to the water. Dundee is very central and it has grown so much as a city since ’89, i.e. the DCA, the mix of restaurants and the new plans for V&A Dundee.
