Glenn’s approach to working in fashion is one of self-building. He has carved his own path in his career through co-operation, inspiration and self-drive. It’s an inspiring story. When we asked if he had any advice, he gladly offered a couple pearls of wisdom; firstly, Don’t take yourself too seriously. I suppose that way you have a serious chance of getting some good work done. And secondly, listen to and take on board the advice of those that have been there before you, and you will go far.

Glenn was eager to stress this last point, vigorously listing people who had given him advice and helped him along the way. It’s clear that this sense of recognition for those that have helped him in the past is important to Glenn, and it’s something that other people rarely mention when talking about themselves. It is passion and humility that gets good results out of teams of people, and individuals, and Glenn seems to hold these values highly.
