Now 71 years old, she joins Jenni to share her experiences of being a glamorous model hanging out with the coolest names in London’s Swinging Sixties, her years on the other side of the camera at Vogue, and on that most influential, yet challenging of fashion partnerships - working with Anna Wintour.
