ALICE’S SHINY FINERY

-

Alice Levine, 31, is a multitalen­ted BBC Radio 1 presenter whose style has been snapped up by Finery, the online label teaming up with inspiring women to create a wardrobe of ultimate classics. Alice’s design is a beautifull­y fitting blouse in a flattering soft pink with a removable pussy bow. Available from Tuesday and perfect for autumn – not that we’re wishing that upon ourselves just yet… YOUR INSPIRATIO­N FOR THE BLOUSE? Gillian Anderson in The Fall. Her perfect silk shirts almost stole the show. I was after that old-school sheen and a fit that was somewhere between a man’s shirt and floaty blouse. It needed some structure, but I didn’t want it to be too sexy – that’s not really my thing! GO-TO UNIFORM? High-waisted jeans by Cos or M.i.h and breton tops, which I have an endless stash of, along with stripy shirts. I like to tuck everything in. HANDBAG OF CHOICE? My friend Laura bought me a black Gucci bag for my 30th – it was wildly generous. I feel as though I should be paying her back in instalment­s. WHAT WOULD YOU WEAR ON A HOT DATE? Something silky on top, maybe a kimono, then jeans and flats. I live in flat shoes, and on a date I think it’s important to be yourself, right? THE TREND YOU JUST CAN’T WEAR? Embroidere­d folk tops – they’re no good if you have boobs. I end up looking like a woman who should really be in the kitchen making dumplings. AS A PROFESSION­AL FESTIVAL GOER, ANY TIPS ON THE FASHION FRONT? Ignore the weather forecast and pack several layers. A waterproof, too, of course. My favourites are the high-quality designs by Stutterhei­m – you’ll never get wet in one – and lighter styles by Rains that you can roll up and stuff anywhere. THE MUSIC WE SHOULD BE DOWNLOADIN­G FOR SUMMER GETAWAYS? The new Haim album, Something To Tell You, is excellent. I’m also playing Thundercat and funk group Vulfpeck on a loop. BLOUSE, £59, Finery, finerylond­on.com, from Tuesday
