Lucy Matthews caught up with the fashion designer and blogger to chat about her love for fashion, style and of course some good old Yorkshire puddings.
Is this your first time in Yorkshire?
No, I have family that live near York so I visit once or twice a year.
Would you say the style and fashion down south is different to up north?
I think gone are the days where there is a north/south divide, I think girls in the North aren’t afraid to have fun with fashion which I really admire.
The white shirt is obviously a timeless classic. How would you style a white shirt?
I love to wear a white shirt slightly unbuttoned with the sleeves rolled up for a more relaxed look.
Who would you say your biggest style inspiration is?
Kate Moss just always seems to get it so right! She encapsulates true Brit style
If you had to describe your own style in three words, what would they be?
Functional, fun and feminine…
It was London Fashion Week last week; did you have any particular highlights?
I loved the Alice Temperley show, the prints and colours were breathtaking and I also loved the 80’s vibe at Topshop unique and Burberry’s military jackets! Simon Rocha and Erdem are always beautiful.
You are obviously very passionate about fashion, what pushed you to start your own fashion blog?
I love street style and showing different ways of styling outfits as well as sharing beauty and fitness tips
Your AW16 collection was recently revealed, how do you begin to design a new collection? Where does the inspiration usually come from?
The inspiration might come from an era of fashion or style icon to set the feel of the collection the start is always mood boards
Do you have any future plans to expand your fashion line and blog?
Yes, I am actually introducing a new capsule in November which I haven’t done before and I’m very excited to reveal what it is soon!
Finally, do you like a good old Yorkshire pudding?!
Who doesn’t? A roast is not complete without a good Yorkshire Pud!
