Victoria Nixon was eighteen when she was discovered by Helmut Newton, who photographed her for Vogue. This launched her international modelling career, which led to her being named the Daily Mail's 'Face of 1968'. After modelling, she went on to become an award-winning advertising copywriter, television producer and magazine editor. In the 1990s she opened the first deli in the UK to ban plastic packaging, and in 2002 her first book, Supermodels' Beauty Secrets, was published, followed by Supermodels' Diet Secrets in 2004. She is co-founder and managing director of a company which designs and manufactures humanitarian aid products used worldwide.
