Susan Bender Whitfield is a creative director, freelance stylist and formerly a contributing editor at British Vogue. She specialises in luxury brand direction and has worked with everyone from Preen by Thronton Bregazzi to Dolce & Gabbana and can regularly be found hanging out with fashion heavy weights including Edward Enniful and Naomi Campbell. Known for her lifelong passion of everything Alaia, it comes as no surprise that her wardrobe is a never ending treasure trove of one-off catwalk pieces, highly sought after vintage finds and iconic collector's pieces.
Walking into her current home, she tells me she recently vacated her family house whilst it's on the market, meaning she could only fit 10% of her actual wardrobe into her temporary flat. Despite her reduced storage space, she has managed to fill her bedroom (that features floor to ceiling wardrobes) with some of her most loved pieces of clothing and accessories, with every brand from Hermes to Dior bursting out of the cupboards.
