Started my label in 1997 which has evolved into a couture wedding dress business but Pete Doherty recently asked me to design a Harris Tweed suit for him which he wore to perform at Paris Fashion Week. A small menswear collection is in the pipeline. I started fashion blog StyleScanner.com in 2009. I have met and photographed some truly incredible people; Vogue editor Alexandra Shulman let me snap her in February!

Alexandra Shulman - Editor of British Vogue @ London Fashion Week

Couldn't believe it when I spotted Alexandra Shulman at Hix during London Fashion Week. She has been reigning Editor at British Vogue for nearly two decades.

However, until Googling "Alexandra Shulman" today, I had absolutely no idea that her mother is 'modern manners' expert Drusilla Beyfus!  Drusilla's book "Lady Behave - A guide to modern manners for the 1970's" is a treasured favourite. I found my copy - fitfully branded "Glamorgan Education Committee County Libraries", in a Glasgow charity shop a few years ago. Lord only knows why I got into collecting vintage etiquette books, it's not like I was running with diplomats, (not even close) but I did throw the occasional cocktail party and after all, 'tis better to have known the rules and lost...or something like that.

One thing's for sure, Drusilla certainly wouldn't have approved of the lumpen way I approached her daughter for a picture. Therefore, despite Alexandra graciously consenting, I feel I ought to make amends...

Dear Alexandra,

I wish to convey my sincere gratitude for your taking the time, despite my blunderbuss manner, to grant me a picture.

(Please don't tell your mother)

Most gratefully yours,

Style Scanner.
