Judith Watt, Head of Fashion History at Central Saint Martins (CSM), and personal friend of McQueen himself, is the author of several books on fashion including The Penguin Book of Twentieth-Century Fashion Writing (Viking, 1999), Ossie Clark 1964-74 (V&A Publications, 2003) and Dogs in Vogue (Little Brown 2009). Judith is currently writing a book in association with Vogue on Elsa Schiaparelli. She is also a contributor to Vogue, the Guardian and BBC Radio 4, and lives in London.
