“Running is a huge category for us. To be able to run to work and have lightweight, breathable, windproof materials you can chuck in your bag that work on technical level but also on a lifestyle level are really important to me.

“The main challenge is technology and that's something I really push and work closely with Adidas on. They're real leaders in sports performance; always trying to push that further and further and get the best technology they can.

You get to work with fantastic athletes, and that's a fantastic thing that has nothing to do with my day job in ready-to-wear.”
