Ever since I was little, my mum used to choose an outfit for me and lay it on the bed so I’d know what I was wearing the next day. I never went to a uniformed school, so I always had an outfit – and I never really grew out of that, I don’t think.

I’m very affected by what I watch and read.
I’ve got so many clothes; I can dress in any style.
My desire to experiment comes from my attention-deficit approach to cosmetics. I just get really bored, really easily.

Sometimes people fear the truth. They’d rather not speak to you than know what you really think.
I always carry a good lipstick with me, like MAC in Ruby Woo. It has a matt finish, the essence of that vintage glamour look.
