The Scottish Mail on Sunday - You

What’s wowing us this week

- By Amy E Williams

French-born, London-based Camille Charrière is one of a rare breed of bloggers whose fashion flair has a direct influence on what we all wear – luxury labels court her, fashionist­as copy her, then high-street stores follow suit. Her collaborat­ion with Spanish brand Uterque is in store now.

Shop where you could spend the most time and money? Céline – the only place where I lose all sense and suddenly it seems perfectly normal to drop a month’s rent on a piece of knitwear. The pair of shoes you would save from a fire? Black and white python wedges. They were a gift from the team at Chloé but I don’t think they went into production. They are the comfiest heels to dance in all night long. Handbag of choice? Right now I’m saving for Loewe’s new Hammock bag. What do you wear when you have five minutes to get ready? A baggy tee tucked into my most-loved vintage 501s, and a black blazer. Who do you admire most? People who care for the planet as much as they care about themselves. And if they dress well, it’s a home run! Currently reading? How to be Both by Ali Smith and Requiem for a Species by Clive Hamilton, which is must-read about climate change. In an alternativ­e life you would have been… An environmen­tal activist. I just wish I was smart enough and ballsy enough to be one. Tip for wannabe bloggers? Find your voice, don’t copy anyone else and trust your instincts, even if it means going against the current. The best advice anyone ever gave you? Don’t settle for what others expect of you and get talked into a career because you are smart enough to do that particular job. Find what you love. The secret to a good selfie is… The ‘Barbie doll’ filter on Snapchat. If we could whisk you anywhere in the world, where would it be? Cuba – I need to go soon! Camille Charrière x Uterque is in store and online, from £59, uterque.com
