Your style in three words What I like. Where do you fi nd inspiration? Old fi lms, textiles and interiors. A couple of current favourites are freundevonfreunden.com and closetvisit.com Where do you fi nd your clothes? Mainly charity shops, eBay, vintage shops and markets. My mum sells vintage clothes so it’s in the blood. Favourite local shop? Cos or Starry Starry Night. Best-kept secret? The charity shops along Dumbarton Road in Glasgow. Scottish designers/stores you are a fan of? Designer – A Minute Silence, co-run by a hugely talented Scottish lady called Lynn Cockburn. Best city for shopping? London – it’s where I’m from and I know its secrets.
Your style in three words Classic never ages. Where do you fi nd inspiration? Karl-Edwin Guerre, a New York street style photographer (guerreisms.com) – his clothing never fails to make me smile. Where do you fi nd your clothes? Mr Ben in Glasgow. I travel a lot so I get all my inspiration then come back to Scotland to buy – it’s much cheaper here. Favourite local shop? W2 – the best menswear store in Glasgow. Scottish designers/stores you are a fan of? Jonathan Saunders can do no wrong for me. An item you’ve currently got your eye on/are searching for? Although I don’t own an iPad, I’d love an iPad Attaché by Makr. Oh, and the entire SS12 collection from ACNE. Your style in three words Clean. 90s. Textural. Where do you fi nd inspiration? I love OMNI, a magazine that ran from the 70s to 90s – I buy old copies online. It’s full of (very out-of-date) science articles, illustrations and ads for synths, cars, booze and fags. Where do you fi nd your clothes? Mostly online – the Wood Wood store, APC, eBay etc. Favourite local shop? Goodstead on Rose St – the only store in Edinburgh that sells the labels I like. Best-kept secret? Edinburgh’s Greenside car boot sale on Sunday mornings. Most cherished item? A 100% silk bomber jacket I found on ASOS Marketplace. It reminds me of the garish (and amazing) Tommy Hilfi ger jackets everyone wore at school in the 90s, except nicer!
