I recently read The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas. I’m in love with it. What a story!

Where I go for ideas for home

During my recent house redecoration, I was constantly searching for inspiration. I really love the @fantomes_esthetiques account.

What I use on my skin

Beauty, anti-ageing and make-up are my biggest passions – after fashion. My favourite item is the Lyma laser. It really works.

Special places in my hometown

Warsaw is my city, the heart of my brand. My favourite place is Królikarnia Sculpture Park with its beautiful artworks hidden among the trees. The most special restaurant is Nolita – I think it has the best food in Warsaw and I always celebrate my special moments there.

Taste of my home

I always bring my friends some Polish pierogi and vodka.

My most treasured gift

My favourite piece is my 1960s Rolex with a turquoise Stella dial. I got it from my fiancé for Christmas – it was my dream present.

Places I love to stay

I have two favourite hotels in the world. The Connaught Hotel in London – I like to eat breakfast at its restaurant with big windows overlooking Mount Street. The second is the Ritz Paris, the most magical place, with amazing history and the best service. For holidays, every year I go to One&Only Reethi Rah in the Maldives with my family. It is the place where I switch off my phone and rest the most.

What’s on my bucket list

I would love to visit Japan to experience the culture, design and food.

Each time a celebrity chooses my designs, it’s a very, very special moment, a thrilling affirmation of my work, bringing my creations to life on the global stage. It’s more than fashion, it’s a shared celebration of style and individuality.
