The former accessories editor for Vogue started the company with shoe maker Jimmy Choo using a small loan from her father.
Since the first boutique opened in London in 1996, Jimmy Choo now has a total of 115 stores worldwide in 39 countries.
She has denied reports the company is up for sale.
She told Vogue: "I'm not going anywhere.
'There is too much future growth in the business for me to leave now.
'We're looking at all the different options available to us and it's hard to know which is preferable until we've really examined them all.'
