Catherine Walker's career is a story for all women in the '90s - a rags-to-riches tale that transcends fashion: from her early days selling children's clothes door-to-door out of a basket, to her first commission from Diana, Princess of Wales. French-born, London-based Catherine Walker is one of the world's most successful couture designers. She worked as a teacher in the Swinging Sixties, then moved into making clothes after the death of her first husband. From selling children's clothes door-to-door, Catherine became the principle designer to the most famous woman in the world, Diana, Princess of Wales.
