Stockbridge's naughty take on Marilyn Monroe, with smudged red lipstick, hair worn up in pin-curls, tight sweaters and heels was one of the iconic 'looks' of the late 80s.
Sara's father was a civil engineer. Sara and her brother spent their early childhood with their family living in Trinidad, Bahrain, and Peru before returning to Woking in the late 1970s.
Stockbridge moved to London aged 18 and was taken on by Models 1. She described her first assignment as "A disaster... I was six hours late for my first job because I'd got hammered the night before." A couple of years later she was asked to appear in a Vivienne Westwood show, to which Stockbridge was keen to do having previously been a punk. Her first show was Mini Crini, Spring/Summer 1985. LESS
