WARDROBE STAPLES

Recently I’ve been performing in my Karen Walker Eyeshadow sunglasses. They’re in my favourite colours, gold and pink, and I always get compliments when I wear them. I don’t go anywhere without my Céline Papillon sunglasses and my Fenty x Puma by Rihanna hoodie dresses, either.

FANTASY BUYS

I’ve been dreaming of a particular pair of Gucci platforms — they’re at the top of my fantasy shopping list. Gucci also does an amazing pair of oversized pink crystal sunglasses. I’d be in heaven if I could add either of those to my wardrobe.

ULTIMATE ACCESSORY

I love chokers and have quite a few. I recently played some shows in Singapore and wore a basic black choker but added a crystal pendant by New Zealand jewellery designer Nick Von K. Lately I’ve also been wearing a Trelise Cooper flower choker.

IT-BAG

I don’t really own an It-bag because the ones I love are a little — very! — out of my budget. But if money was no object, I’d have the Chanel Perfume Bottle Clutch in marble, and add a keychain from the Deadly Ponies x My Little Pony collection.

STYLE ICONS

I love Alexander McQueen — his collections are pure art. I also love Bjork and Rihanna, who effortlessly cross the line between music and fashion.

ALBUM ON REPEAT

When I released my EP, my managers gave me a limited-edition vinyl box set of Amy Winehouse recordings. It’s one of my most prized possessions. I also rate the playlist that I’ve curated on Spotify, which features some of my favourite artists right now, including Soko, Lana Del Rey and Girlpool.

CAN’T-PUT-DOWN BOOK

Right now I’m reading Pop: The Genius of Andy Warhol. It’s full of fab stories from the 60s.

GO-TO SHOE

Creepers, or a minimal but stylish sneaker.

MAKEUP MUST-HAVES

MAC is my absolute go-to. They have the best artists and have taught me a lot about how to do my own makeup. If I had to choose just one item to wear every day, it’d be eyeliner.

SCENT

Since 2013 I’ve collected my favourite ever perfume, Femme by Marcel Rochas, which they stopped making in the 60s. I’m also wearing Nirvana Black a lot at the moment.

HOLIDAY DESTINATION

When I was last in LA, we went for a drive up the Pacific Coast Highway through Malibu and up into the mountains. We even saw dolphins!
