What’s the last piece of clothing you bought?

Stripy, slouchy, highwaiste­d trousers from Topshop. They’re statement enough to dress up an otherwise casual outfit, show enough ankle to serve as a great transition piece to spring/summer and so comfortabl­e they’ve become my dance-all-night pants.

What are you addicted to buying?

Women look sensationa­l in strong, tailored trouser suits, and I love the fact that you’ve already got a readymatch­ed outfit. I’ve racked up versions in fuchsia, cornflower blue, sunshine yellow, a sick grey pinstripe one and a couple of crushed velvet shorts suits.

Best ever bargain?

Either a Ghanaian fabric print bomber I got at a garage sale for £4 or a vintage silk embroidere­d blazer I picked up at a clothes swap.

Who has great style?

Zendaya is a sartorial chameleon. I spend an inordinate amount of time scanning her Instagram to see what she wears next on the red carpet.

Name your favourite high street shop.

If I visit Urban Outfitters, I’ll be able to easily find an outfit that I can vibe with for whatever occasion is calling.

Any fashion disasters you’d care to tell us about?

I am horrendous at dressing appropriat­ely f or the weather. I’m talking about bum-exposing gusts of wind in way-too-flimsy fabrics, rain-drenched hems on floor skimming jumpsuits and the shortest shorts on the coldest shoots.

What’s your favourite item in your wardrobe?

It’s a trainer toss-up, and I’m most attached to the classics: my Adidas Gazelles, Reebok Classics and Nike Air Max. n
