Susannah F Constantine (born 3 June 1962 in Hammersmith, London)〔''(Dean and Collateral Ancestors of Edward D. Bradford. Scroll to page 77 of 361 )'' – rootsweb.com. Retrieved 14 June 2007.〕 is an English fashion journalist, advisor, television presenter, author and designer. Her second book, entitled ''What Not to Wear'', has won her a prestigious British Book Award and sold 670,000 copies. Constantine was born into a wealthy family; her father was successful in property and shipping sectors. She was privately educated as a child and went on to date British royalty, David, Viscount Linley, during the 1980s. Constantine has been involved in fashion for a long period, originally working in America for Giorgio Armani and then John Galliano in London. She met Trinny Woodall in 1994 who both proceeded to write a weekly fashion column, ''Ready to Wear''. They founded Ready2shop.com, a dot-com fashion advice business, and wrote their first fashion advice book in 2000, ''Ready 2 Dress'', both of which failed. From there they were commissioned to BBC Two to host the style series, ''What Not to Wear'', from 2001 to 2005. She made regular appearances as a style advisor on ''The Oprah Winfrey Show'' and following her success on the shows, she went on to co-host ''Trinny & Susannah Undress...'' on ITV in 2006 and ''Undress the Nation'' in 2007. Constantine and Woodall have now dressed over 5,000 women. Constantine has been criticised as being fond of blood sports, recently appearing with her young daughter at a duck shoot where it appears Cece claimed her first kill and smeared the blood of the wild bird across her cheeks.〔Sam Creighton (9 November 2014). (Ten years old, and smeared in blood as she shows off her first kill: TV's Susannah Constantine faces outrage for posting pictures of her daughter shooting a duck ). The Daily Mail''.〕 She has co-written many fashion advice books with Woodall, some of which have become best-sellers in the United Kingdom and United States. It is estimated that her various style advice books have sold 2.5 million copies in Britain and the United States.〔''(Trinny and Susannah Have Launched the Official TrinnyAndSusannah.com Website )'' – pr.com. Retrieved 11 April 2007.〕 Constantine and Woodall have designed their own clothing range for Littlewoods which made its debut in 2007, followed by the release of their latest fashion advice book, ''The Body Shape Bible''. ==Education== Constantine was privately educated at boarding schools including Queen's Gate School in South Kensington, London〔Fiona Neill. ''(Retail therapists (Pages 1, 2 & 3) )'' – timesonline.co.uk. Retrieved 16 July 2007.〕 and the £20,000-per-year St Mary's School in Wantage, Oxfordshire which was run by Anglican nuns.〔Steve Myall. ''(What not to say to your old school, by Susannah )'' – dailymail.co.uk. Retrieved 15 July 2007.〕 Her time at St Mary's School was described by herself as "miserable" due to her homesickness and insecurity, meaning she was not able to make friends.〔 She was first sent to boarding school at the age of 11 years, and recalls her first night away from home: "I sobbed uncontrollably into my pillow."〔(''Trinny Woodall and Susannah Constantine: In bed with the first ladies of fashion'' ), www.independent.co.uk. Retrieved 25 February 2008.〕 In mid-2007, Constantine spoke about how she received a letter from St Mary's School, inviting her to come back to the school to talk about her career and success to current pupils. Constantine immediately declined the offer with a four-letter refusal and wrote "No fucking way" on the letter she had received.〔Editors at Metro. ("Susannah tells nuns 'No f * * *ing way'" ), www.metro.co.uk. Retrieved 28 August 2007.〕 Her personal assistant, who was left to deal with the situation, wrongly sent the original letter of invitation (containing Constantine's hand-written note) back to the school. The school then wrote a letter back, stating that she is not welcome near the school.〔〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Susannah Constantine」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
