Childhood for Vidal meant time in an orphanage, WWII, Winston Churchill and an apprenticeship at Alfred Cohen.
Vidal's formative years were spent fighting fascism with the 43 Group, as a soldier in Israel, discovering geometry and cutting gloves.
With adulthood came elocution classes, Teasy Weasy, the beginnings at Bond Street and intense experimentation with shapes.
A revolution in London, Mary Quant, Nancy Kwan, publicity, international expansion and a family all made the sixties a wild ride for Vidal.
A book, a television show, Los Angeles, Rosemary's Baby, products, international education, and fame all build the brand, but take their toll.
The most famous hairdresser of all time looks back on his legacy, philanthropy, and an honor from the Queen.
