Born in Bromley, Kent, and christened Dorothy Stephenson, she became a model in the 1930s.It was the designer Sir Norman Bishop Hartnell, KCVO (1901-1979) who fell for Dorothy's distinctive and exotic Spanish look which led to her becoming his top model for over 18 years. Hartnell was a leading British fashion designer and was best known for his work for the ladies of the royal family. He gained the Royal Warrant as Dressmaker to Queen Elizabeth in 1940, and Royal Warrant as Dressmaker to Queen Elizabeth II in 1957.Professionally Dorothy was known as Dolores, as Hartnell changed her name to make her sound more exotic and to match her Spanish look.

She even wrote beauty and style columns and gave regular interviews on the world of fashion. Dolores reigned over London's fashion scene for two decades.
