SHEER CHEER
SHOW AS LITTLE OR AS MUCH AS YOU DARE IN THIS SEASON’S TRANSPARENT STYLES, WRITES EMMA JOHNSON
What are you wearing at the moment? I’m wearing white Stan Smith Adidas trainers, Frame denim jeans and an Alexander Wang sweatshirt.
Who’s your style icon? I have to say Victoria Beckham. I love her clothes and am super lucky that I often get to borrow pieces. We are all so proud of what she has achieved. It’s amazing.
What item of clothing do you spend the most on? Shoes, bags, coats, dresses – all of the above! I’m pretty low key most days but when I need something special for work I like to treat myself to some beautiful shoes or a new dress.
What is your favourite piece of clothing in your wardrobe? I bought a velvet Isabel Marant dress last year and I love it. It’s my absolute go to. It’s one of those dresses that always looks great no matter how rubbish you’re feeling.
What has been your biggest disaster? The period 1999-2011! I found it hard figuring out my identity after my time with the Spice Girls. I had no confidence with clothes and in myself at times. I was introduced to a wonderful stylist called Anna Foster and she helped me understand what worked for my body shape. Who is your favourite designer? It varies from season to season but I’m always lusting after Isabel Marant, Victoria Beckham and Saint Laurent. Which is your favourite high street store? Zara often do great pieces. Their kids stuff is incredible.
What did your mum teach you about fashion? She has always been quite an individual. She’s also a singer and we’re both always trying to find the perfect stage outfit. She taught me not to follow the crowd.
