Favorite city on earth?

New York, I couldn't live there, but I love going there from time to time. I get to go again next week! I'm really looking forward to it.

Best restaurant in Amsterdam?

Le Garage. The food is amazing and the atmosphere is good. Not that stiff stuff you sometimes have at those good restaurants.

And the best restaurant in the world?

In Provence is Chez Bruno, a truffle restaurant. Indeed, extremely expensive, but also, extremely delicious. It has a waiting list of two months, but the food is truly of grandiose high quality.

What do you do to relax?

To really relax, you best do it at the Chiva-Som International Health Resortt in Thailand. It is simply the best and most beautiful in the world.

Favorite department store?

Bergdorf Goodman in New York. Can't wait to stroll around there again next week. Especially now that everything is wrapped in Christmas spirit.

Best vacation destination?

I go skiing once a year in Ischgl, and in the summer I alternate between Italy or Thailand.

Where do you succeed best in buying clothes?

Nowadays I order almost everything online, on all sorts of different sites. Asos.com, Zalando.nl, you name it. I find Zara a very nice store, but only in the morning. Then it's still quiet and I can leisurely browse through the racks, later in the day it often gets hysterically busy and then I drop out.

Best place for a beauty treatment?

I go to Babassu in Amsterdam's Cornelis Schuytstraat. Good service, delicious products, and exclusive scents ensure that I keep coming back.

And where do the most beautiful lingerie sets come from?

At Stout, in the 9 streets in Amsterdam. I find almost everything beautiful there.
