![]() ![]() ![]() During lunch the talk turned to fashion shows and catwalk models. I had organised a delicious cold picnic which we all ate together round the scarred ex-schoolroom tables. But my brush with greatness really started over lunch. When the photographs appeared in Vanity Fair in 1997, they made history – no one had ever seen the princess look natural, fun and modern in the way that Mario revealed that day. ![]() Her make-up and hair would be kept to a natural minimum to suit the new non-ceremonial life she had started to lead – and her extraordinary natural beauty. She’d be in simple, modern clothes with no jewellery. She wouldn’t be heavily made-up, jewelled and tiara’d in the stiff ballgowns of her royal life. We were there to shoot some pictures to show the Princess in a new light. I remember she was wearing a very sharp little black and white houndstooth suit which had been the star of John Galliano’s recent show for Dior, and even though she had hardly any make up on she looked wonderful – slightly pink and gasping from all the stairs she had negotiated. Then, through the doorway came a couple of hands clutching dress bags rather insecurely, and Princess Diana almost fell into the studio. ![]()
