In London, antique clothing dealer Vern Lambert gave Kee a job working on his stall at Chelsea Antique Market. Here they sold a mix of haute couture, homemade and ethnic dress.
For me, Chelsea market was the school of fashion and life ... we didn't just flog frocks and style ourselves, we styled everyone who came in, from Mick Jagger to Marianne Faithfull. It was like directing wardrobe on a movie set called The Sixties.
