Rihanna wants new collection to make women feel ‘confident’

OHMYGOSSIP — Rihanna wanted her Fenty luxury fashion line to make women feel “confident”.
The 31-year-old R&B superstar – whose real name is Robyn Fenty – has teamed up with conglomerate LVMH (Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton) to launch a new fashion brand under her name, and the star unveiled the much-anticipated collection at a pop-up store in Paris, revealing that she wanted to create “strong silhouettes” for women across the world.
Speaking to British Vogue at the Fenty pop-up store, Rihanna said: “I often walk into stores and I’m like, ‘I love this, but I wish it was more like that, or in a different colour or in a different fabric’ – and now I get to do it. I love strong silhouettes, and for women to look confident, that’s what I want to achieve with this collection.”
Rihanna – who took two years to create her upcoming collection – credited her mother Monica for helping to shape her style.
The ‘Work’ hitmaker said: “I always had a love of fashion and style. I loved everything my mum wore, from her make-up to her clothing.
[My mum’s style] was bad ass. She wore a lot of oversized stuff but still very feminine, I just wanted to be her.”
And Rihanna – whose collection will include ready-to-wear and accessories, including shoes, sunglasses and jewellery – wanted to make sure her line was “diverse” because it reflects her own day-to-day style.
She added: “There is huge diversity in the collection, which you will see as the new pieces come out, because that’s my style.
“I’m all over the place, in sweats one day and a dress the next. I like to wear men’s clothes, I don’t like to say, ‘It’s a man’s thing or a woman’s thing.’ I hope men and women just wear it because they love it.”
The first instalment of her collection goes on sale on Fenty.com on May 29, 2019, with the next items following at the end of June.

Riccardo Tisci’s monogram collection inspired by Burberry founder Thomas Burberry

OHMYGOSSIP — The Thomas Burberry Monogram collection will be “the beginning of a new era”.
Burberry’s chief creative officer Riccardo Tisci has opened up about the new Thomas Burberry Monogram collection – which stars Gigi Hadid in the campaign – and revealed that he designed the new range to “represent” the new era.
He told US Vogue: “There’s nothing in the world more powerful than a good story. In the archives, I saw the old drawings and graphics of Thomas Burberry’s time. He did his initials, and I thought, ‘That’s interesting. Why not develop something that represents the beginning of this new era?’ When I arrived I found the story of Thomas Burberry very attractive. That it’s not only a trench and a check. That there was a human behind them. With time, I want to open more the archive and show the history because the history of Thomas Burberry is quite interesting.”
The much-anticipated line was inspired by 20th-century logo interlocking TB initials, which were created by Burberry himself, and Riccardo wanted to make sure the new collection stayed true to the “daring” founder.
He added: “He was quite daring, he took risks. Where we’re going with modernity, with the computerised life we live, and our obsessions with computers and phones, humanising the house is very important to me.”
The campaign’s shoot was photographed by Nick Knight and designed by Riccardo Tisci in collaboration with British artist Peter Saville, and comes after Gigi made her first runway appearance for the brand at their fall 2019 show in February.
Gigi said in a statement: “I have always loved and respected Riccardo’s work, and I feel so honoured and grateful that he trusted me with this project.
“My first Burberry show was my first time working with Riccardo, and the timing just felt perfect. It gave us our first opportunity to really get to know each other. The second I heard the creatives for this shoot, I understood how I wanted to bring that to life and show different sides of myself through each character.”

The 33-year-old fashionista has paid tribute to the late designer – who passed away at the age of 85 in February – by unveiling the much-anticipated collaboration with the former creative director, which was announced days before the iconic dresser died.
And Palermo – who has co-designed five bespoke pieces – has revealed that she wanted to stay true to Karl’s signature Parisian style, but add her own touch of “femininity” and “culture”.
In a statement, Palermo said: “Our collection focuses on universal wardrobe essentials like a leather biker jacket, white button-down shirts and tuxedo suiting.
“I wanted to play with Karl’s iconic Parisian classics, and add my own touch that’s eclectic and feminine. I used my travels and experiences in different cultures to inform my edit, to ensure its wearability from Paris to New York and beyond.”
The former ‘City’ star created a staple black leather jacket with the slogan ‘Karl State of Mind’ across the front, which also features the inscriptions ‘Forever Karl” and “#KarlxOlivia” in white, to pay homage to the legendary designer.
The Karl Lagerfeld Styled by Olivia Palermo collection aslo includes skinny-fit leather biker pants, shorts, a tailored suit, technical leggings and a sports bra.
And putting her own stamp on Lagerfeld’s signature logo, Palermo has co-created T-shirts and sweatshirts that feature exclusive rhinestone designs, which represent her silhouette alongside Lagerfeld’s.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley swears by ‘non-comedogenic products’

OHMYGOSSIP — Rosie Huntington-Whiteley uses “non-comedogenic” products to keep her skin flawless.
The 32-year-old model is known for her glowing complexion on and off camera, and the British beauty finds she looks her best when she uses skincare products that are formulated with ingredients that don’t block the pores or strip the skin of its natural oils.
She told Vogue Australia: “I’m not really one for like fad diets or restricting myself but eating well, drinking lots of fluid and then great make-up products – lots of facials and great make-up!
“When I’m doing my own make-up I lean more towards non-comedogenic products, that really, really helps me with my skin and stripping out any skin or beauty products that have pore clogging qualities to them or ingredients – I see a big difference when I do that.”
Rosie is a global ambassador for Bare Minerals and loves working with the “iconic” cosmetic brand because their products are in her own make-up bag.
She added: “One of the reasons I love working with Bare Minerals is because it’s clean and that really is great for me, in my personal life.
“This is what brought me to work with Bare Minerals because this has been in my make-up bag for a very long time. It’s like their most iconic product.”
The blonde beauty – who has 23-month-old son Jack with her long-time partner Jason Statham – stressed that she will always instil the importance of sunscreen into her child because SPF is so “important”.
Rosie said: “With my children that’s going to be something that I like lather on them. Being British, anytime the sun comes out you’re going to bake yourself in it. I just think that’s the one piece of advice I hear time and time again from skin experts is the importance of wearing SPF.”

Ashley Graham and sister model Swimsuits for All summer 2019 campaign

OHMYGOSSIP — Ashley Graham and her sister Abigail have starred together in the Swimsuits for All summer 2019 campaign.
The 31-year-old model designed her own range of inclusive swimwear for the US label, and now she has has enlisted the help of her younger sibling to model her summer capsule collection.
And Ashley has revealed that she loved teaming up with her sister on the campaign, which was shot on the beaches of Punta Cana by A-List photographer Ben Watts, because the pair have always shared a “strong presence in each other’s lives”.
In a statement, Graham said: “Despite our six-year age difference and busy lifestyles, my little sister and I have always been strong presences in each other’s lives.
“We’ve shared countless memories together and going through our childhood photos was a trip down memory lane. Plus, she’s a new mum and has never looked hotter in a swimsuit!”
The inclusive nine-piece collection is now available online, and features snakeskin, floral and mesh details, and Abigail was thrilled to help her sister promote her “beauty beyond size” message.
She added: “I love to support Ashley in everything she does, especially when it comes to promoting her message of beauty beyond size.”
And Abigail explained that mothers should never feel self-conscious or ashamed of their body because they have carried “a life” which is “miraculous”.
She continued: “Remember at one point you were carrying a child, a life, which is incredible in its self, that is miraculous. Know that you’re not alone, in the mix of all of the emotions that come with motherhood, all of these changes to your body are part of a journey you are going through an continue on.
“Don’t feel bad asking for help, there is absolutely nothing wrong with asking for help, I had to ask. My girlfriends had to ask. Many women that I know in general needed help because motherhood is hard so just don’t be afraid of it.”
However, this isn’t the first time Ashley has looked to her family for inspiration, because last year the Vogue model posed alongside her mother, Linda, to model her fifth capsule collection for Swimsuit for All’s ‘Power of Journey’ campaign.
Ashley said at the time: “My mum has been my role model since childhood and has played a vital role in developing my confidence.
“She promoted body positivity in our household before it was a movement. Her feel-good attitude toward her own body has shaped my ability to remain positive and self-assured.
“I could not think of anyone better to join me in celebrating beauty of all shapes and sizes in this campaign. Plus, she’s hot and looks incredible in the suits!”

Khloe Kardashian praises mother for instilling ‘good skin regime’

OHMYGOSSIP — Khloe Kardashian has praised her mother Kris Jenner for “instilling” a good skincare regime into her from a young age.
The 34-year-old beauty can vividly recall receiving her first cleansing products as a young teenager and she insists taking the time on “self-care” isn’t a selfish thing to do as it’s important to look after the skin.
Speaking in an Instagram video for her sister Kylie Jenner’s new Kylie Skin products, she said: “My mum has always instilled great hygiene in all of us. I got my first skincare set, a face wash, a toner and a moisturiser probably when I was 12 or 13 and it was such a big deal for me that I had a skincare routine.
“Self-care is not selfish and self-care starts with your skin. Your skin definitely is your armour and this is the one skin that we’re in so we must handle it with care.”
Kylie – who launched her eponymous $900 million cosmetics empire in 2016 – spent a whole year “creating” her six-step skincare line and trialled the products on her own skin for “10 months”.
The mogul said: “I’m going to show you guys my everyday skincare routine and talk about my products a little bit more. I start with my face wash, probably my favourite product in the line, it just makes my face feel so clean and retains the natural moisture in your face.
“I went through a lot of samples to get the perfect foaminess and creaminess, and the scent is amazing and refreshing, this almost brings your face back to life, it’s a very unique face wash.
“I have been creating this for a year, I have been using it for around ten months. This is my skincare routine, I’m really excited for you guys to try it.”

Justin Bieber creates plant-based deodorant

OHMYGOSSIP — Justin Bieber has created his own natural deodorant with Schmidt.
The 25-year-old pop megastar – who is married to model Hailey Baldwin – has teamed up with the global beauty brand to create a plant-based deodorant, named Here + Now, which will be available from the autumn.
Schmidt’s CEO and co-founder Michael Cammarata has revealed that the ‘I Don’t Care’ hitmaker formulated the scent and designed the label artwork, working closely with the creative team to bring his “vision to life”.
He told PEOPLE: “The time was right to make something happen and bring to life an exclusive product collaboration that will bring new fans into the natural category. If Justin can make the switch from conventional to natural, it’s a choice that’s open to everyone.
“Our R&D and creative teams have worked closely with Justin and his team to bring his vision to life. They’ve been involved every step of the way, which has made for a really fun and collaborative process. It’s important to us that he and his team, and therefore his fans, love it just as much as we do.”
Bieber’s body spray will also be vegan and cruelty-free and Cammarata admitted that the product was created true to the brands ethos, which is to be “happy and healthy” both physically and mentally.
He added: “It’s more than just a deodorant; it’s a lifestyle and a connection to those around you. It’s about the small, but intentional choices we make every day that help us to lead happier and healthier lives, mentally and physically.
“We want to inspire a conversation around health, wellness and optimism for the future. It’s a means to talk about the issues that we all face day to day and how we can support each other in our collective journey to live our best lives.”
Bieber’s wife Hailey, 22, is a big fan of natural beauty products and became the face of cosmetics company bareMinerals last September.

Prada to drop fur from 2020

OHMYGOSSIP — Prada will stop using fur from next year.
The luxury Italian fashion house have decided to banish the animal flesh from their designs as of Spring/Summer 2020 in order to keep up with consumers’ “changing attitudes”, but any items already made with fur will continue to be sold.
Miuccia Prada, head of the fashion chain, said in a statement: “Focusing on innovative materials will allow the company to explore new boundaries of creative design while meeting the demand for ethical products.”
Joh Vinding, chairman of the Fur Free Alliance (FFA), added: “The Prada group with its brands now joins a growing list of fur-free brands that are responding to consumers’ changing attitudes towards animals.”
Prada’s decision to drop fur from their designs comes just months after animal rights activist Pamela Anderson sent them a letter outlining her views on fur use.
She wrote: “I have long admired your creativity–and Prada’s timeless nylon bag–but I was disappointed to learn that instead of going fur-free, Prada has chosen merely to reduce the amount of animal pelts that it sells.
“A “gradual” reduction is no consolation to animals who are languishing inside tiny cages on fur farms and being anally electrocuted and skinned alive for their fur right now. Please, I urge you to drop fur immediately.
“Humane fur” is like “merciful murder”: It doesn’t exist. Even in countries that participate in the fur industry’s Origin Assured program–which claims that animals are treated “humanely” before they’re slaughtered–investigations by PETA and other animal-protection groups have repeatedly shown that cruelty is rampant.”
Prada have joined the likes of Burberry and Gucci who announced they too were banning the use of fur from their designs as of their Spring/Summer 2018 range.
They have also decided to phase out existing fur items.

Elle Fanning was made ‘fun of’ at school for ‘different’ style

OHMYGOSSIP — Elle Fanning was made “fun of” at school for “experimenting” with fashion.
The 21-year-old actress is the face of Miu Miu’s newest fragrance Twist, and the star has revealed that she loves working with the Italian brand, which is a fully owned subsidiary of Prada, because it has a “quirky edge”.
Elle was keen to model for Miu Miu as the brand’s creations remind her of the daring wardrobe she had as a high school pupil, a wardrobe that resulted in her being ridiculed by her peers.
Speaking to British Vogue, she said: “I remember growing up, I would experiment with my fashion and at school I would be made fun of for it a little bit, just for being different and I still am that girl. “Miu Miu is defiantly off beat and it is quirky in being feminine, but with an edge. She balances all the opposites at one time. [Miuccia Prada] knows what girls want and what women want. Her shapes are just so amazing and quite actually boyish in the way that she cuts pieces like coats … but then they’ll have something like a little chick on them.
“She keeps the fun. Mrs. Prada doesn’t take herself too seriously which is very important in art. Miu Miu is just the all-round perfect brand. I could wear all of it.”
And Fanning – who has worked with Miu Miu since 2014 – was asked by head designer, Miuccia Prada, to open their prestigious spring/summer 2019 catwalk, and the star has admitted that each time she is asked to feature in a campaign by the brand, it’s an “automatic yes”.
She added: “My first campaign I did for Miu Miu was when I was 14. That was the first time I met Mrs. Prada and since then I’ve become a part of the family. They have given me so many opportunities, but I had never done a major fragrance campaign for them before. It wasn’t even a question, just an automatic yes to go on another adventure together.”
“Mrs. Prada is someone who loves cinema and film and she creates very cinematic experiences. Everything she does is such an experience and is so detail orientated that it transports you to this specific place and world that she wants you to be in.”
The ‘Maleficent’ star loves to wear fragrance and spraying on a great scent is “part of her daily routine”.
She said: “Fragrance is definitely something that is part of my routine in the morning and then I’ll probably redo and freshen up to go out at night. That’s kind of how I wear it. It is so personal to you and your personality and what your preference is. I also really associate scent with memories too. It makes me nostalgic as I can remember certain scents for different times, and it take me back to that place. It is very special.”

Rihanna wanted to gain respect as a designer

OHMYGOSSIP — Rihanna wanted to “gain respect” as a designer before releasing her own Fenty luxury fashion line.
The 31-year-old R&B superstar – whose real name is Robyn Fenty – is working with LVMH (Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton) to launch a new fashion brand under her name, and the star has revealed that she worked closely with LVMH Chairman and Chief Executive, Bernard Arnault, to get her creative “vision” perfect.
In an interview with T, The New York Times Style Magazine, she said: “I’ve been slowly evolving throughout the fashion world. First wearing it, buying it, being recognised for my style and then collaborating with brands. I never just wanted to put my name on something and sell my license.
“I’m very hands-on, so I wanted to take it slowly and gain respect as a designer. I already had a relationship with them after the Versailles campaign and the make-up line, so they extended the offer to me and it was a no-brainer because LVMH is a machine. Bernard Arnault was so enthusiastic; he trusted me and my vision.”
And the ‘Work’ songstress – whose collection will include ready-to-wear and accessories, including shoes, sunglasses and jewellery – used herself as a “muse” to create the much-anticipated range.
She added: “I love a corset. We put a corset in a suit, a dress, a shirt, a denim jacket and a T-shirt dress. I use myself as the muse. It’s sweatpants with pearls, or a masculine denim jacket with a corset. I feel like we live in a world where people are embracing every bit of who they are. Look at Jaden Smith, Childish Gambino. They dare you to tell them not to.”

Margot Robbie is new Chanel perfume ambassador

OHMYGOSSIP — Margot Robbie has been announced as Chanel’s new perfume ambassador.
The 28-year-old actress has teamed up with the French fashion house to represent their fragrance range, following in the footsteps of Lily-Rose Depp, Kristen Stewart and Keira Knightley.
And the Australian beauty – who is also a fashion representative for the brand and was the face of the luxury label’s Coco Neige fashion line – has revealed that the opportunity is a “dream” for her because the Chanel woman is “powerful” and “feminine”.
In a statement, Margot said: “It’s a dream to represent such a timeless and iconic brand. The history of the Chanel woman is so exciting and the brand has remained such a powerful feminine standard of style.”
The blonde beauty has stepped out in several beautiful Chanel creations for many award ceremonies, most notably, last year at the 2018 Academy Awards at which Margot donned a floor-length white gown which was designed and made by the brand’s creative director, the late Karl Lagerfeld.
However, ‘The Wolf of Wall Street’ star experienced a wardrobe malfunction once she got inside the ceremony as one of the embellished straps snapped off, but quick-thinking Margot simply took a sewing kit from an assistant and got to work mending the dress herself.
Margot’s Chanel Oscars gown took over 600 hours and 14 people to create.
The 3D band of crystal tubes and the two camellias in crystal tube embroidery at the top of the dress alone took 550 hours, while the assembly of the gown took an additional 130 hours.

Cher is launching ‘genderless’ perfume

OHMYGOSSIP — Cher has announced that she is launching her own “genderless” fragrance.
The 73-year-old songstress has teamed up with the company Scent Beauty – from Bernd Beetz and Steve Mormoris – to create her own perfume, named Eau de Couture by Cher, for both men and women, and the much-anticipated launch will be the first scent since her 1987 fragrance, Uninhibited.
The ‘Believe’ hitmaker has been working on the inclusive fragrance, which features notes of bergamot, neroli, jasmine and vanilla, for four years because she wanted it to be perfect.
She said: “It’s very touchy-feely. It makes you want to hold onto yourself. We’ve come a long, long way since I first put out a perfume so I really do believe this is genderless.
“I [made] it for people who love perfume or people who want to smell good, people who feel that it’s part of who they are. I imagine there are people, I know there are people, who don’t want to have anything on them and I cannot even go to that place.”
And Cher knew she wanted notes of oriental “vanilla” and spice because she wanted to create something based on the best aspects of her own fragrance collection.
She told WWD: “I like vanilla, it’s just a girl thing I think, but I also very much like something that’s spicy. I was talking with Steve right now, and he was saying, ‘I don’t know how you got to have black-and-white notes,’ and I didn’t know what I was doing, so that’s how that came about.”
The ‘If I Could Turn Back Time’ songstress also explained that she met her fragrance partner, Mormoris through a mutual friend, and the process to create Eau de Couture happened naturally.
She added: “They’re a new company with people who are very experienced running it. They have a social network plan. I will be doing interviews and I will be talking about it, but they have a plan. They also have a great idea about doing multiple scents.”

Lady Gabriella Windsor didn’t want white dress

OHMYGOSSIP — Lady Gabriella Windsor didn’t want a white wedding dress.
The 38-year-old royal – the daughter of Prince and Princess Michael of Kent – tied the knot with her partner Thomas Kingston in front of family and friends including Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip at Windsor Castle on Saturday (18.05.19) wearing a stunning ivory gown and tiara, but her initial vision for her big day was very different.
Explaining how the royal initially wanted a blush dress, designer Luisa Beccaria said: “In the very beginning, she didn’t even really want a white dress. Her requirements changed a little bit when they decided to marry at Windsor.”
A lot of Luisa’s design was inspired by the Kent City of London Fringe tiara, which was previously worn by the bride’s grandmother, Princess Marina of Greece and Denmark, when she wed Prince George, and also by her mother on her own wedding day, after it was decided Gabriella would also don the headpiece.
Luisa told the Daily Telegraph newspaper: “The tiara is legendary so we knew we should pay credit to it.
“The dress couldn’t be as simple as she was thinking. Looking at the pictures of her grandmother, although the dress was completely different, the chicness came from a train so now both dresses have that. To make a dress for the granddaughter of a style icon like that is an honour.”
And the designer hoped the royal bride enjoyed her own special “moment” in the spotlight on her big day.
She said: “I think this girl deserves a moment, she is a very quiet and understated, she works hard and she copes with difficult situations in the family. Sometimes it is not that easy, you know? I love her mother, she’s an incredibly talented woman but she is a powerful presence.
“I was surprised to see how opinionated and strong Ella is and how she needs to have her own space, her own moment.”

Sabrina Bedrani wants to work with Jennifer Lawrence

OHMYGOSSIP — Dior make-up artist Sabrina Bedrani wants to work with Jennifer Lawrence.
The cosmetics expert feels “lucky” to have worked with a number of “amazing” and stylish women but she’d jump at the chance to help the ‘Silver Linings Playbook’ actress with her beauty look.
She said: “I’ve been lucky enough to have worked with amazing, beautiful women in Cannes, from Kirsten Dunst, Michelle Williams, Léa Seydoux to Bella Hadid — all of whom made my job so much easier because of their great sense of style.
“If I had to pick one, I would say Jennifer Lawrence.”
One of Sabrina’s favourite looks was when she worked with Lea Seydoux at the Cannes Film Festival last year.
She explained to The Hollywood Reporter: “One of my favorites is Léa Seydoux for last year’s closing night. She was wearing a very sparkly silver Louis Vuitton dress, so I decided to bring out her eyes and gave her a pop of colour on her lips to brighten her whole look.”
And when working with her clients at the annual movie event, Sabrina does her best to “embrace the essence of the Frenchwoman” with minimalist and elegant make-up looks.
She said: “The key for me is to embrace the essence of the Frenchwoman. They approach beauty in a different way — they are so chic and elegant, but there’s always an element of effortlessness.
“It’s about enhancing someone’s features rather than trying to make a ‘make-up’ statement.”
But that doesn’t mean the beauty guru comes up with the same look for all the actresses she works with in Cannes.
She said: “It depends on who your client is — some women can get away with more than others.
“As a general rule, I would stay away from too much make-up, foundation especially, as most women on the carpet tend to look more fresh and glowy. A staple I use in my kit is the Dior Forever Glow Foundation.”

Joe Wicks happy to pose topless

OHMYGOSSIP — Joe Wicks knows his appearance “helps” with his brand.
The 32-year-old fitness trainer doesn’t mind going topless for photoshoots because he doesn’t get treated “like a sex symbol” and can understand why people want to see his physique.
He said: “It’s always the same. I turn up at photoshoots and someone hands me a bit of broccoli, then says: ‘Get your kit off and put some oil on your chest, mate.’
“But I don’t feel I am treated like a sex symbol. I get treated nice. I joke about it. I’m a fitness trainer and, yeah, people want to see my physique. It helps me. It helps me promote my business and my missions.’ ”
Despite his toned physique, Joe can’t resist a good burger.
He admitted: “Oh, I love a good burger, I really do. With chips and a beer and ice cream afterwards.
“You can always work it off the next day.”
The ‘Body Coach’ star believes the key to his success is that he is “relatable” and his workouts are “real”.
He told the Daily Mail newspaper: “I’m not a military-style guy. I’m very, like, relatable.
“People love the realness of my workouts.”
And Joe hopes that he can “inspire” others to lead a healthier lifestyle rather than compare themselves to him and feel bad.
He said: “I don’t want people to compare themselves to me and feel bad. I want to be inspiring, not to depress them.
“Having a perfect set of abs will not bring you happiness, but eating healthy food and exercising will.”

Michelle Keegan loves seeing fans in her clothes

OHMYGOSSIP — Michelle Keegan feels “well chuffed” when she sees people wearing her designs.
The ‘Our Girl’ actress has created seven collections for retailer Very and she admitted the novelty of seeing someone in one of her pieces still hasn’t worn off and she even stops consumers and asks them for a picture.
She said: “I often see people wearing the pieces and I’m well chuffed. I go up to them and say: ‘Excuse me…” And I ask them for a picture. Honestly, it never gets old.”
Michelle admitted she keeps an eye on Very’s website when her new collections launch and she even studies the comments made on each piece as she thinks they’re invaluable feedback.
She told Fabulous magazine: “I read the comments as well. I want to see people’s reactions, I need to know what people are saying and treat it as feedback.”
When it comes to designing her collections, the former ‘Coronation Street’ actress – who is married to presenter Mark Wright – only wants to include garments she would be happy to “buy and wear” herself.
She said: “I’m not a dressy kind of girl, I prefer to wear casual clothes and you can see how that’s developed in the range.
“As I’ve got older, I’ve grown in confidence and the collections have evolved because of that. So I don’t like big prints, they just don’t suit me. I feel more comfortable in simple clothes.
“Like, I love the denim jumpsuit from this collection. The fabric is really good, it’s not too thick and it holds the body really well. It has to be things I would buy and wear myself.”
