A lot of the things I did - it's not going to sound anything but egotistical - if I'm lucky and I did the right thing, they will be at Zara way before I can get them in the store, and I don't like that.

I'm very direct. I don't have tantrums. I don't yell or shout. I do expect an awful lot from my staff, but no more than I expect of myself.

Bill Sofield has the ability to understand the architecture of a space and how to utilize it in the most beautiful way.

Our efforts have always been collaborative, and I value what he brings to the table architecturally and aesthetically.
