Businesswoman

Growing up in New York, I loved watching my grandmother Estee put on her make-up - I always admired her sense of style.

I've always liked simple. Growing up, I wore corduroys and Lacoste shirts, Maraolo flats, and maybe one gold bracelet.

My actual first summer internship was in the design department of Clinique.

I'm the only person who's uninspired by the Starbucks mocha peppermint whatever-it-is.

I've always been inspired by beautiful interiors.

I'm never without my personalised Anya Hindmarch diary - I keep my schedule online, too, but my diary is always in my bag. It's crammed Post-its.

I am such a bath girl: we've gone to some of the beautiful hotels in the world, and if there's a shower, I'm so disappointed.

Estee Lauder was my grandmother. She was an iconic and powerful woman, but to us, she was just Estee. She was the first person to teach me how important it is to be passionate and proud of what you do, and always talked about 'balance.'

I love cereals. We must have 10 to 15 boxes. But if I'm being honest, I have Fruit Loops and Lucky Charms hidden behind the healthier ones.

As a girl, my favorite toy was my dollhouse; if I could still play with it now, I would!

I think it is very important to learn to say 'No.' I think it is sometimes important for brands or the creative director to learn to say, 'This might be on trend, but it is not right for us.'

We have a house near East Hampton, and of all the beaches I've been to, I think there is something so beautiful about Long Island beaches. I love them in the fall and winter.

My day typically starts with an early-morning walk through Central Park. It's a nice moment of calm before my routine starts.

My inspiration for new products comes from moments in my life or what's happening around me.

The trends that last and the trends that are relevant are the ones that make you look pretty.

I love going to museums, especially the Met, because there's always room for discovery, or the Neue Galerie. It's a great jewel box.

I discovered I was passionate about the creative process, the product development, creating a concept around a fragrance or lipstick.

I inherited my love of gold jewellery from my grandmother.

Luxury is anything that feels special. I mean, it can be a moment, it can be a walk on the beach, it could be a kiss from your child, or it could be a beautiful picture frame, a special fragrance. I think luxury doesn't necessarily have to mean expensive.
