Sarah Walter, who founded style-passport.com in July 2010, began her career at Vogue, fresh from St Martin's, starting on the same day as legendary editor, Anna Wintour before moving to Bazaar and Marie Claire where she was Fashion Director. After a four year sabbatical in Africa running safaris, making movies and travelling extensively, Sarah returned to begin a new career in retail bringing Lily Allen, Kelly Brook, Giles Deacon and Luella Bartley to campaigns for New Look. She then went on to be Director for Marketing and Publicity at River Island. Sadly, style-passport.com closed for business in March 2013.

style-passport.com cleverly brought together fashion, beauty and travel into a shoppable online magazine. From Missoni to Carmex, and Anya Hindmarch to Petit Bateau, Sarah's view was that great style is not dependent on how much money you have.

Sarah is now Chief Creative Officer at metail.com, the tech company that allows virtual shoppers to try clothes online on their own personalised model, which has their vital statistics.
