The One-Minute Interview: fashion designer, Matthew Burns.

1 a

I’m a clothes designer and a businessman. I make clothes and sell them on the internet.

I love making clothes and selling them! My friends like my clothes and now I make and sell them to other people. They like them, too. That’s really important to me.

I work for 12 hours every day – and I never have a holiday!

I get up at 6 and go running. I start work at 8 and leave at 8 in the evening!

I don’t have any free time! But I always listen to music when I work. I like listening to new bands – but I hate rock music. I spend all my free time with my family. I’ve got two wonderful daughters. They give me a lot of ideas for my clothes!

I don’t know. Ask my friends!
