Jean Dawnay (now Princess George Galitzine) describes her rise from airline steward to the top of the modelling world in the late 1940s and '50s. Photographed by greats such as John French and Cecil Beaton and working with Balmain, Carven, Lanvin, Pucci and Christian Dior, where she was a house model, this is a wry and charming tale, which provides a unique behind-the-scenes perspective on the golden age of couture.
