A stylist with a stellar fashion background. She’s modelled in the 1960s and ’70s, worn the mini, the shift, hot pants, the power suits, then the minimal. Here’s a woman who understands “looks” and why it’s so important to wear what suits you best.

What’s your middle name – does it have special significance? My mother and father thought Dianne was stand alone, but I had a nickname – Sugar.
Do you still have anything from your childhood? An older brother, Ian, and a gorgeous mum, Catherine – aged 88 years.
