"The first out as Christmas model is Elle Macpherson, who in the fashion industry is nicknamed "The Body".

"I went down to wait for her and then the mobile rang. It was Blackstone Group’s chairman Steve Schwarzman wanting to meet me in five minutes. But I was in the lobby with Claudia Schiffer about to arrive, so I grabbed another bystander whom I knew and said: ‘I’ve got the dream job here for you. Will you take over?’ He took over and I went to meet Steve. ‘I hope you realise what I’m doing for you here today because meeting you I’m giving up meeting Claudia Schiffer,’ I told him. ‘Really?
