A self-proclaimed style queen from Chadwell Heath launches her fashion book next week.

Tanesha Westcarr, 24, of Westfield Gardens, said: “Your style is about you. It’s something that grows from within and it’s your trademark.”

Her book launch will take place at The Royal Opera Arcade Art Gallery in Pall Mall on Saturday, May 21 where she will sign copies of book Styling Stripped Bare.

‘Compliments’

“I was in modelling for years, but I knew I had more inside me than just standing in front of a camera.

“I always received compliments for how unique my style was, always had someone asking me about my clothes in the street, so that is why I wanted to write a book,” she added.

Mrs Westcarr said: “My favourite designer is Alexander McQueen. What a fabulous impact he had on fashion. My dream is to make a mark as big as his.”
