Job
Head of menswear design

What do you do all day?
I manage the menswear design team, oversee quality and make sure designs are pitched right for our customers. I get to travel to interesting places – I spent some time in Austin, Texas recently, where there’s a good vintage scene.

Best thing about your job?
Being creative on a daily basis and getting paid for it. And the office environment is great – we have the music on, there’s lots of laughing.

Style tip?
Be comfortable. Wear jersey shorts this summer – they are so comfortable and you can dress them up or down.

Your key pieces for SS14?
1. Printed blazer
I love this kaleidoscopic print. Men shouldn’t be scared of this!

2. Black printed shirt
Don’t discount black for summer. It’s a good city option as realistically most men only wear lots of colour when they’re away on holiday.

3. Black jersey shorts
The beauty of these shorts is that you can wear them with a hangover on a Sunday or out with a black blazer and shoes. They’re very versatile.

Behind the scenes at ASOS
Greater London House, formerly the Carreras cigarette factory, is a strikingly exotic presence in the grey hinterland of Mornington Crescent. A fabulous bit of art deco, its entrance is framed by ornate pillars and two huge statues of black cats stand guard outside. This is the headquarters of Asos, the global online fashion retailer. The reception is shiny and white, and the chic wooden-floored café is a world away from your average corporate canteen.
