Collette Dinnigan
As fashion designers go Collette Dinnigan definitely represents the success that can be achieved from extremely hard work and determination.
“Even in the first six months I never really saw it as a cottage industry. I thought it was a proper business but it wasn’t. I would think, ‘Why aren’t I in all those stores? Why is that designer there?’ I thought I knew it all, I thought I was better than anyone. But I was so passionate and adamant about it and that carried me through.

Michele is the Founder & Editor-in-Chief of My Fashion Life. In between editing, freelancing and spending most of her time on the internet, she also finds time to shop (too much) and obsess over shoes. She loves sushi and counts Matthew Williamson, John Galliano, Valentino and Hussein Chalayan as her favourite designers. Her biggest regret - never seeing Prince in concert!
