Asked about Christopher Bailey, Cara says: "As a designer I think Christopher is one of the best. In addition, as a person, he is also the kindest, most easy going, funny, talented and creative person I have had the pleasure to work with. He makes my job so enjoyable and I always leave work with a smile on my face. Burberry is the quintessential British label and also one of the most innovative and forward thinking, I love it."
