Charlotte Stockdale is one of the world’s most renowned fashion stylists and is Jo Malone's Style Editor. Charlotte on her career path: I grew up in the English countryside with a mother who was very fashion conscious. I had no idea about fashion at the time but looking back, she lived and breathed it. I left school and tried modelling, it was a total disaster but I knew I loved images and realized that I was probably better suited to life behind the camera.

I was introduced to Katie Grand who was setting up a new magazine called Dazed & Confused. We met for lunch, stayed on for dinner and went home at 11pm. That was the beginning of my fashion life. It was an amazing time, the mid nineties. I lived in Paris and worked for Dazed & Confused. I then went onto Harper’s Bazaar.
