Listen "20: Plum Sykes"
Episode Synopsis
This week Bunny chats to Plum Sykes in her garden, in Gloucestershire.
Christened Victoria but nicknamed Plum, she grew up with parents who had an extravagant lifestyle, mixing in high society circles, but with little money. Graduating from Oxford, Plum went to work for Vogue in the States.
A successful novelist Plum is about to launch her latest book ‘Wives Like Us’ a satire based on the Chipping Norton set. Even before the release of the book, locals are guessing who exactly the main characters portrayed are based on! The hugely popular character, Shelby Fairfax is a Landscape Architect and Plum explains why she made this choice.
Plum’s own garden is stylishly simple, and she talks about why it suits her, her favourite plants, whether she is a socialite and how she developed her fashion style on arriving in the Vogue offices.
