Author Information

Leigh Rudd, fashion forecaster and author, was the CEO and founder of the fashion forecasting publishing Company IM International from 1968 - 1988 with offices throughout the world. She now describes herself as an imaginative creator driven to developing new paths of innovation for herself and others. She says, I am truly happiest when I am pioneering a fresh idea. And right now I am introducing my time-traveling character Jordan Parker who is a feisty Fashion Forecaster and an alter ego of myself - but in today's world. I guess you could say I have the spirit of the entrepreneur. She goes on to say, And the idea of sharing the wild London lifestyle is a thrill for me. My career started early. Fashion began for me when I was a ten-year-old child designing wardrobes for paper dolls. In my spare time I would conjure up trailblazing creations: hair decor out of sequins and braided ribbons; patchwork skirts from thrift shop outfits cut up and sewn back together; little cocktail hats made of old felt, plumes and glitz; also belts and bags made with feathers and brooches; and wool jackets I'd decorate with huge old-fashioned buttons and outrageous trims. Family and friends made fun until they noticed these creations would be featured a year later in some fashion magazine. Well, you get the idea. It was the quirky beginning of a life-long fashion journey, an international company and an industry. Her web site is www.leighruddfashion.com
