15. Tony Glenville, Fashion Journalist | Palma Mallorca

Fashion History 101 - For six decades, Tony has been immersed in the world of fashion - thinking, writing and sketching. From early 1960s YSL shows in the intimacy of the salon to the latest extravaganzas in Paris, Tony's been there, notebook in hand. We caught up as I was working on my documentary Carton d'invitation. Back in the 1990s, I often turned to him for TV interviews right after fashion shows. He was always knowledgeable - and effervescent with excitement - about the spectacles we witnessed in those days, from the first shows by Galliano at Dior to the time Martin Margiela made a "lace" dress from old sandals.

Tony started as a fashion forecaster with Sir Terence Conran, and went on to become an editor at Conde Nast, based in Australia. Prolific still, at the age of 77, Tony stays busy covering fashion for numerous magazines, commuting from his home in Palma to London and other fashion capitals.

For many years, Tony has also been a lecturer at a number of institutions including The London College of Fashion.
Tony is the author of several books such as "Top to Toe, a guide to men's grooming" and "New Icons of Fashion Illustration".
