劉天蘭，資深香港形象指導及時尚達人，曾獲香港時裝設計師協會之香港十大最佳衣著人士獎、香港電台十大中文金曲最佳唱片封套設計獎、香港 Marie Claire “Inspiring Woman Award”、Jessica Magazine “Successful Woman Award”、Me! Magazine “Style Icon Award” 等獎項被中外傳媒譽為「中國首席形象顧問」、「形象聖手」、「Style Icon」及「First Lady of Looking Good」。
Tina 形容自己是生逢其時，趕得上香港在八、九十年代經濟騰飛的時候，參與了當年電視、電影、傳媒出版，以至時裝音樂等流行文化的輝煌時代。多年來她遊走於不同界別，被譽為「穿梭整個香港黃金30年的潮流教母」。她在散文和自傳《原來天蘭》中清楚說明自己的人生態度：「每件事情必須發自內心的喜愛，才可以全心投入。」縱橫香港電影、電視、音樂、出版、時裝、舞台及大型表演的專業形象設計及製作工作，Tina 忙得不亦樂乎：「無論是哪件事情，只要是我喜歡的，我都不會輕易放手，也不會覺得辛苦，沒得做才不開心。」她的字典裡沒有負面的辭彙，所有的事情都是開開心心地去做。
在 Tina 眼中，每個人都有自己的魅力所在，她亦不吝嗇自己的秘訣：「品味是孕育出來的，最重要是開眼界，我喜歡觀察，旅行、看書、上網，總有很多東西給你滋潤啟發，都是一個個學習的過程。」劉天蘭告誡自己世界很廣闊，每個時代不同文化、不同地域都會有各自獨特的審美和創意，值得學習的還有很多。她這樣形容自己：「我覺得我是香港的一個稀有品種，孕育在香港的中西文化南北和之中，是在文化、藝術、時尚和設計裡自得其樂的一朵蘭花。」
忙碌的 Tina 在工作和生活中不斷接觸和發掘新事物，不斷探索、學習、挑戰自己。對 Tina來說，最快樂的事情就是在工作上有發揮，也提醒自己不要辜負每一天，要保持身心健康、多運動、多休息、多笑。
