“I grew up with parents who both love to collect, what they refer to as, ‘old stuff’ so I’ve always had a connection with vintage. I started wearing vintage properly ten years ago when I first moved to London but even before that my style was influenced by my favourite decade - the Sixties. In terms of textiles, colours and patterns nothing beats Sixties fashion for me.

Saying that I don’t slavishly stick to Sixties fashions - I’m also influenced by Art Deco and various other styles - vintage to me is about classic, timeless elements - be it a Sixties shift dress or Thirties platform sandals - and each decade has something interesting to offer.”
