Well, stating the obvious: I love fashion, but from an edgy perspective - Street, Urban, Utilitarian as well as the feminine, glamorous and tailored (sometimes with a vintage twist). I don't suppose it would surprise many that I love labels like Allsaints, Ashish, Bench, Firetrap and Religion; however, it will come as a surprise to many that I ABSOLUTELY love - and would love to afford - Alexander McQueen, Amanda Wakely, Chloe, Galliano, Vivienne Westwood, vintage Chanel and vintage Dior...any offers?I am also an avid fan of Jane Austen and a keen member of the National Trust; mock at your peril!
I'd like to meet:
John Robert Parker Ravenscroft - a.k.a. John Peel (1939 - 2004): Without snobbery or arrogance he would cast his respected opinion over a variety of musical genres; for which I salute him and wish his legacy to be remembered (John Peel day 12th October 2008).However, there are four independent, unique and ambitious creative ladies I would love to work with in the future: Alexa Chung, Daisy Lowe, Lily Allen and Siobhan Donaghy.
