Faith speaks out on clothes choices

Paloma Faith has claimed parents should let their children wear what they want - even if that means allowing their son to wear a dress.

The 37-year-old said she believed children go through phases and should be allowed to explore what clothes they feel comfortable in.

The London-born pop singer songwriter welcomed her first child in December 2016 with French artist Leyman Lahcine but the pair decided not to reveal its gender.

She said she planned to raise her child as she had been, and put her success in the music industry down to having been taught to ignore gender boundaries.

Faith said: “I’m raising my child the way I was raised.”
