In your closet: Lucie McCollough

Wardrobe staple?

A black silk pencil skirt.

What do you wear to travel?

A pair of black palazzo pants from Giordano and a top to match, plus the all-important black cashmere cardi-wrap (a cross between a shawl and a cardigan).

Favourite fashion designers?

Valentino and Ralph Lauren - but I have to say that because I was, at varous times, their PR.

Fashion no-nos?
