There's a fabulous Linda Rodin shoot in the latest issue of Matchesfashion.com magazine. Ruth Chapman (the co-founder of Matchesfashion.com) told me about it when I interviewed her recently. We'd never met before but got on like a house on fire, talking non-stop about fashion, life and style, and how inspiring we find women like Linda Rodin. As well as being a successful stylist and businesswoman, Rodin has a fantastic attitude to age, ‘I don't think 66 is old; it's just that - in our culture - 26 is old. I have so many friends who are older than me who feel young, too. In the fashion and beauty bubble I am a strange bird, but in the wider context of the world, I'm not.’
