With a candour as fresh and spontaneous as the clothes she designs, Helen Storey Talks about her life in the world of fashion.The book traces the personal development of one of Britain's most exciting fashion designers, from her childhood experiences as the daughter of award-winning novelist and playwright David Storey, her training at Kingston Polytechnic, her early career under Valentino and Lancetti in Rome and Bellville Sassoon in London, to the rise of her own label retailing from her own shops and leading stores throughout the world.With a poignant rawness, Helen Storey reveals the truth about the strains of seeing a loved one through their battle with cancer, of running a multi-million-pound fashion business and of being a mother and a wife.
