Menswear designer Lou Dalton
What’s the last piece of clothing you bought?
A navy blue merino wool John Smedley crewneck. Anyone who knows me knows that navy is my daily go to colour and John Smedley make the finest knits around.
What are you addicted to buying?
Prada earrings and Balenciaga Paris eau de parfum. I have been wearing the same scent since it was launched back in 2010.
Best ever bargain?
A beautiful Venetian glass beaded lace vintage Ferragamo heel, which was £30 from a second hand clothing stall I know in Shropshire.
Who has great style?
Female: Tilda Swinton. Male: my friend, the stylist Julian Ganio. Both are selfassured and confident.
Name your favourite high street shop.
Uniqlo for basics and John Lewis for homeware.
Any fashion disasters you’d care to tell us about?
I recently bleached my hair along with a super short crop. It wasn’t so much of a disaster as just a little too hard on the eye.
What’s your favourite item in your wardrobe?
A pair of gold and black jet drop earrings from Prada, which were a gift from my fiancé Justin for my 40th birthday. Ornately beautiful, timeless and they look great with anything. n
