Nyone labouring under the delusion that styling is simply tinkering about with designer frocks would do well to take a look at Venetia Scott's groundbreaking work. While Scott may not be a "name" in the sense that Giorgio Armani, Donna Karan and Miuccia Prada all are, she is nevertheless, like them, the force behind many of the trends that have shaped the way women dress today. Indeed, you could say that practically every time a woman reaches into her wardrobe she's influenced, in some way, by Scott's vision.
