Esme was seven when she made her first garment at school, a hand-sewn red gathered skirt, and she's had an extraordinary career in sewing and fashion design ever since. In this episode Esme joins me to talk about her career highlights - from launching Swanky Modes in the early 80's which was beloved by celebrities such as Cher and Julie Christie, to creating iconic costumes for films such as The Beach and Bridget Jone's Diary. We talk about how she felt moving into a TV career in her sixties and what's it like to work alongside the hilarious Joe Lycett and TNMA favourite Patrick Grant on The Great British Sewing Bee.Producer and audio engineer: Linda Ara-TebaldiHost: Alyson WalshGuest: Esme YoungMusic:David SchweitzerArtwork:Ayumi TakahashiDigital technician: Tom Hole at StirtingaleCoordinator: Helen Johnson
