Fashion Q&A

What is the oldest item in your wardrobe?

Mulberry handbag from the early 00's

What is the newest item?

Stella McCartney x Adidas running jacket

Most expensive item?

Balmain skirt, purchased in a sample sale

What was the biggest bargain?

Burberry lambskin leather jacket. £130 in a designer consignment store. The owner kept referring to it as a Barbour jacket and I realised she had somehow got MAJORLY confused between the two brands. These leather jackets retail at over £2000 - bargain of the century right there!

Cheapest item you wear the most?

Green a-line mini skirt. Purchased in a Housing Works thrift store in NYC for $2.50 - it still fits like a dream, even though I bought it in 2012

Most treasured item?

A gorgeous pink coat from Milly. Gifted by the brand at the end of a 3 month internship

Favourite model?

Gemma Ward - she was on the front cover of the first Vogue magazine I ever bought (August 2005). She was wearing a Missoni dress and the editorial was called 'Seduced by the Dark Side' and it was shot by Mario Testino. I still have my copy!
