I had a dream.

I was 14 years old and the dream was work in fashion.

I had a dream.

I was 16 years old and I wanted to featured by Vogue.

I saw the realisation of the dream. I was 19 years old and I became the UK editor of a fashion magazine.

I saw the realisation of the dream. I was 30 years old and I was featured by Vogue in an in-depth interview spanning my career and more and a separate video feature by themselves on me covering my work, my point of view and style.

I am still realising that Vogue dream even now with these beautiful portraits because they were photographed by the wonderful Dave Yeo ( @david_yeo ) who shoots for Vogue.

Who knew a little girl with a big dream would see them all come to pass? To pose for him? What an honour.

The brilliance of David’s (and you check out his aspirational client list) work is that his photography is so beautiful that it looks like ‘art’. Images so dreamy that they could be the meeting point that lies between art and photography. Be delighted at the standard, scope and sheer beauty of his work at @david_yeo (thank you darling for being amazing).

I call this portrait ‘Scarf Series 01’ . I call this my ‘art’ portrait. I call this the realisation of my dreams.
