Fashion designer Hayley Scanlan

What’s the last piece of clothing you bought?

I rarely buy myself clothes. I usually wear my own brand or make my own, but I think I did buy a white muscle T-shirt from The Frankie Shop just before Christmas.

What are you addicted to buying?

As I’m a mum, I don’t buy much for myself. It’s mostly things for my twins Freddie and Oscar.

Best ever bargain?

I got the coolest real leather blazer from the men’s section in a charity shop for £9.99.

Who has great style?

Debbie Harry is my all time icon. I have admired her style since I was a young girl. I also love Danish influencer and stylist Pernille Teisbaek and Italian designer and influencer Gilda Ambrosio. They are both effortlessly cool, flawless and chic.

Name your favourite high street shop?

& Other Stories.

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

My gran used to make a lot of outfits for my sisters and I when we were young. I remember she knitted us oversized jumpers with different coloured backs. We wore them with black leggings, matching pairs of slouch socks and coloured scrunchies in our side ponytails. The fact I that I was 10 years old, my sister Holly, nine, and Beth was only three, made it worse.

What’s your favourite item in your wardrobe?

The gold crushed vinyl cropped trousers from my own brand. They can be worn with so many things, the fit feels great and they look cool as hell. I want to create them in so many other metallic colours. ■
