C an a single photograph change
your life forever?
I like to think so.
I was a shy child and an awkward
teenager, and I hated being
photographed. At about fifteen
years old, I saw a snapshot of
myself wearing a plain black
T-shirt, probably taken by my
brother, and I thought "Hey, I
don't look so awful in that
photo!", and my next thought was
"Black really suits me."

Now, up until that point, I had
never heard of, or thought about, certain colours suiting certain people,
although I knew my grandma loved wearing red. But, then, I loved my
grandma in anything, especially in her pink flannel nightgown with the
white lace, with her long grey hair released from its bun and brushed
out, and the smell of talcum powder lingering.
It took many years and interesting twists of fate for that one thought to
turn into a passion and another few years for it to turn into a career, but
the wonder of it still excites me daily. It's as if colour and style and the
knowledge of it is a magic wand that we can swing to awaken a part of
ourselves that we often didn't even know existed.
Join me in exploring this wonderful, magical world of colour, style and
fashion in this magazine.
I hope it brings you as much joy as it does me.
