She went on to build an impressive portfolio. Her work regularly appeared in Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar, as well as working with other leading lights in the industry.
Photographers such as Norman Parkinson, Lord Snowdon and Bruce Weber used her for their shoots. She worked with the fashion designers Valentino and David and Elizabeth Emanuel. Rock stars, supermodels and even royalty called on her services.
