A defining moment in my career
The most defining moment in my career so far was the opportunity to present and be a style expert for the global hit makeover show 10 Years Younger which was broadcast at primetime on Channel 4 in the UK. The premise of the show was to make people look at least ten years younger than the age the public guessed they were at the start of the show.

My role was to give each candidate a complete makeover from head to toe as well as support them through their transformation journey. The show was hugely successful and was broadcast around the world, including South Africa.

It was an opportunity that came out of the blue when I set up my style consultancy in 2001, a testament to the fact that when you follow your dream and do something you love, good things happen.
