“I have been wearing vintage clothing - mostly 60s and 70s - for around ten years. At first I had a huge fixation on the early Mod look but eventually found sticking to a very rigid set of rules didn’t work for me.

I rarely stick to one decade of clothing; I will often mix and match items from the 50s, 60s, 70s and even brand new clothing. As an actor, I am always interested in the character of an outfit, so the characteristics a garment holds are far more important to me than period authenticity.”
