1
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:07,760
I'm thrilled to announce that 
this season's sponsor, Ruby, is 

2
00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:12,040
a personal favorite of mine. 
It is the premium at home beauty

3
00:00:12,040 --> 00:00:16,280
and Wellness services platform. 
Ruby works with an incredible 

4
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:19,920
network of expert professional 
beauty and Wellness therapists 

5
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:23,440
that can be booked directly to 
your home to deliver a host of 

6
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:27,560
treatments from blow dries to 
manicures, makeup and massages. 

7
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,040
Ruby vets all of their 
therapists and I cannot fault 

8
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:33,480
the quality. 
I've been using the services for

9
00:00:33,480 --> 00:00:36,720
many years and I've always had a
five star experience. 

10
00:00:37,160 --> 00:00:40,400
In a world where we're so busy 
with limited time available to 

11
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:43,880
have our much needed treatments,
Ruby allows you to get your time

12
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:46,080
back in the luxury of your own 
home. 

13
00:00:46,480 --> 00:00:50,400
Whether it's a 7:00 AM pre work 
blow dry, a relaxing evening 

14
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:55,200
facial, a last minute spray tan,
even IV drips which you can book

15
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:58,920
up to 60 minutes in advance in 
London, Manchester, Liverpool 

16
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:02,640

Since launch, Ruby has firmly 

17
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:06,480

luxury on demand beauty services

You can also book your 

22
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:23,000
treatments online via their

23
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,920
It is super simple to use and 
when you book, use the code 

24
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:30,040
style DNA for £20 off your first
treatment. 

25
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,480
Today I'm going on a style 
journey with the world renowned 

26
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:38,920
interior designer, author of 10 
books, affectionately dubbed the

27
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:43,400
Queen of Taupe, the Titian 
haired inspirational pocket 

28
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:46,840
rocket powerhouse that is Kelly 
Hoppin CBE. 

29
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,800
Kelly, you can follow me around 
everywhere. 

30
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,120
Did that feel? 
Good, the bit of fluffing. 

31
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:57,400
But actually you don't. 
You don't need fluffing your 

32
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:03,040
your CV just talks volumes. 
I've been around a long time. 

33
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,120
Well, if you have, I have too. 
So hey ho. 

34
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:09,240
In fact, I was just trying to 
work out this morning how long 

35
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,320
we have known each other and I 
would say it's 30 plus. 

36
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:13,920
Years. 
Yeah, definitely. 

37
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:19,960
Gosh, now you are affectionately
dubbed the Queen of Taupe. 

38
00:02:20,640 --> 00:02:24,240
How would you describe your 
interior style? 

39
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:25,800
Oh, I hate that question. 
Oh. 

40
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:27,720
God, that's a good start, isn't 
it? 

41
00:02:27,920 --> 00:02:32,560
Because I think the press 
created that whole kind of queen

42
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,240
of taupe, Taupe on tap and 
everything, and it was funny at 

43
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:36,360
the time. 
On tap. 

44
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,720
I like that. 
But actually when I, when I did 

45
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:42,800
my 40 year retrospective and I, 
I looked through the book, 

46
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:47,240
there's a lot of colour there. 
But I guess my style is neutral 

47
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:51,960
and my my whole ethos about 
design is creating homes for 

48
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:55,640
people to live in because that's
I'm doing what I do today 

49
00:02:55,640 --> 00:02:57,120
because of my grandmother's 
home. 

50
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:01,240
And my happiest times were with 
my granny and grandpa and their 

51
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,040
home was so old fashioned, but 
it was the way it felt. 

52
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,640
So I've always tried to kind of 
bottle that and recreate that 

53
00:03:07,640 --> 00:03:11,200
for people. 
And yes, I love the simplicity 

54
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:15,520
of that kind of East meets W 
very, you know, it could all be 

55
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:19,280
neutral in whites and creams and
topes, but it could equally be 

56
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,080
monochrome in black and white, 
or it could be all shades of 

57
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:26,320
black and grey. 
So it's just choosing a certain 

58
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:30,520
array of colors and it's about 
balance and it's about allowing 

59
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,880
people to put their own identity
into their homes. 

60
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,680
But I can't really describe it 
in one word because it's it's 

61
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:39,840
changing all the time and it's 
movable. 

62
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:44,240
And what I do is, is like you 
with your couture gowns, you 

63
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:47,800
design it specifically for the 
for whoever you're designing 

64
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:49,240
for. 
So it's very couture. 

65
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,240
Interesting, although I will 
pick you up on that word. 

66
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:56,520
Yeah, couture is specifically 
for sewing and dressmaking. 

67
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:57,440
Is it really? 
It is. 

68
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,040
It's a French word. 
My God, I use it all the time. 

69
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:01,040
Well. 
Look it up. 

70
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,040
OK, look it up. 
I, I 'cause I saw that in your 

71
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,280
bio and I thought, hang on a 
tick. 

72
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:10,760
I'm not sure about use the use 
of the word couture outside the 

73
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:14,240
world of fashion, and in fact 
comes up on Google. 

74
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,240
Couture is a French word that 
means sewing or dressmaking. 

75
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,360
The phrase Aute couture 
translates as high sewing or 

76
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,680
high dressmaking and is 
synonymous with high fashion. 

77
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,800
Wow. 
And in France, clothing cannot 

78
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,720
be labeled aute couture unless 
it meets certain standards set 

79
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,360
by an official organization, the
Chambras in de Calde. 

80
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:35,440
I love that, isn't that? 
Interesting. 

81
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,600
Yeah, I thought, I just thought 
you would find that interesting.

82
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:45,240
How do you feel the interior 
space has changed during your 

83
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,480
journey in interiors? 
Oh, I think it's changed hugely.

84
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:52,000
I think in the early days when I
started at like sort of 16 and a

85
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:56,080
half, seventeen people didn't 
say they had an interior 

86
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,040
designer. 
They didn't want to admit it. 

87
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:02,520
The the Americans talked about 
their decorators long before 

88
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,040
anybody in Europe, said my 
interior designer. 

89
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:10,200
And I think it became acceptable
in the same way as you would go 

90
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,360
to some a fashion house for 
clothing. 

91
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,800
We were very behind in the 
interior as well. 

92
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,520
We've kind of caught up with 
fashion in that respect. 

93
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:22,480
Other than the fact that we 
don't change seasons, you know, 

94
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:24,920
like having different looks and 
things. 

95
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,720
I think people are more aware of
their home. 

96
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:32,040
I think that it was always 
apparel here and interiors here.

97
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:35,480
I think now the home is the most
important thing in people's 

98
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,480
lives. 
So I think that interiors and 

99
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:42,360
finding designers and architects
and wonderful craftspeople is 

100
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,320
just normal now. 
And it wasn't way back then much

101
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:49,280
more difficult. 
And interesting, I mean, just on

102
00:05:49,280 --> 00:05:56,520
that front of homes and 
interiors, how do you approach 

103
00:05:56,520 --> 00:06:00,760
sustainability with interiors? 
Do you upcycle at all? 

104
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,280
Yes. 
I mean, when we do hotels, very 

105
00:06:03,280 --> 00:06:05,400
much so. 
A lot of the hotels that we work

106
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,520
with are very into that. 
When we worked with the cruise 

107
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,640
industry, strangely enough, you 
think the opposite, but very 

108
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:13,640
much. 
And we choose the companies that

109
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:17,360
we work with, the people that we
work with, even down to where 

110
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:21,640
fabrics are from. 
And so we're learning every day.

111
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:25,960
But I find that all the young 
people in my office are teaching

112
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:29,840
me a huge amount, you know, and 
I'm completely open to it, and 

113
00:06:29,840 --> 00:06:32,600
they're very much into it. 
And we run a very sustainable 

114
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:34,920
business as well. 
So it's important. 

115
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,920
Yeah, as well as your 
flourishing interior design 

116
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:43,480
business, you've got arrange 
with M&S and arrange with QVC. 

117
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,960
How do those two ranges differ 
from each other? 

118
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:50,520
They're completely different. 
QVC I've been doing for God 

119
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:56,600
years, 1516 years maybe. 
I've kind of lost count and it's

120
00:06:56,600 --> 00:07:01,040
very specific with bedding with 
a few accessories and it's sold 

121
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:05,360
into the customer's home. 
But with Marks and Spencer's, 

122
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:08,640
it's a very broad range. 
So it's everything other than 

123
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:14,640
heavy furniture across the home.
So we launched in September, you

124
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,400
know, everything from cushions 
to throws to bedding to 

125
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,680
accessories. 
And in March, April next year we

126
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:25,560
have like another, I don't know,
100 odd pieces coming in. 

127
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:27,880
So we're doing all kitchen and 
tabletop and whatever. 

128
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:33,200
So the Marks and Spencer range 
is a very full range for the 

129
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,360
home. 
So every aspect and lighting and

130
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:40,400
it's just amazing. 
And it's a dream for me because 

131
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:44,680
my father used to make the 
clothing for menswear at Marks 

132
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,160
and Spencer. 
So Marks and Spencer was very 

133
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:51,880
much a part of my vocab. 
You know, everything I listened 

134
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,880
to at dinner at night with my 
dad talking and then meeting 

135
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:58,120
people and stuff. 
So all my life I've said I've 

136
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,520
wanted to do a home collection 
with Marks and Spencer. 

137
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:04,280
So when it actually happened, I 
was literally bouncing off the 

138
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:10,120
walls and I, I absolutely love 
it and the quality my partner 

139
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,600
had a really bad cold. 
So I went and slept in the guest

140
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,800
room and I slept on my own 
sheets, even though I know 

141
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:17,840
they're really soft. 
So the next day I got on 

142
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:19,560
Instagram, I'm going, they're 
really soft. 

143
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:25,480
I've actually slept on them. 
The quality is fantastic and you

144
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,800
can see I'm excited about it 
because it's it's been received 

145
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:32,080
so well and they're such an 
iconic company. 

146
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:34,799
Yeah, they are And they're 
they're sourcing is second to 

147
00:08:34,799 --> 00:08:37,159
none isn't. 
It and very sustainable, which 

148
00:08:37,159 --> 00:08:39,679
is really important. 
And to be able to reach a much 

149
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,880
broader audience for your 
aesthetic is really exciting. 

150
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:44,800
It's interesting, yeah. 
Yeah. 

151
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,480
Any other projects that are 
going on at the moment that 

152
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:51,320
you're really excited about? 
I mean all the interior 

153
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:54,680
projects, you know, we're, we're
opening a studio in Dubai, we're

154
00:08:54,680 --> 00:08:58,560
doing a lot in the Middle East. 
We've got some, we've got some 

155
00:08:58,560 --> 00:09:04,440
really interesting sort of 
hotels and private client homes 

156
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:08,120
and commercial properties. 
But each one is different and 

157
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,440
challenging. 
And I think that over the years 

158
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,440
you can, if I look at the sort 
of work and what comes to us, 

159
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:18,720
it's never the same. 
And you know, no one private 

160
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:22,480
client is ever the same anyway. 
So that's a given. 

161
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:28,080
But we now get sent these kind 
of projects and you'll and you, 

162
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,720
you don't just read it and cost 
it and then meet people. 

163
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,440
You're reading it and going, 
wow, that's really cool. 

164
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:38,160
And could be about technology 
and how that works with interior

165
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:40,800
design. 
Or it could be an island 

166
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:44,120
somewhere with, I don't know, 
just amazing things. 

167
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:48,160
So it's, it's exciting. 
So not about to hang your clocks

168
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,240
up. 
And I never do that. 

169
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:54,040
But you know, I definitely 
choose my time. 

170
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:59,960
How I how I allocate my time for
work now is different to what it

171
00:09:59,960 --> 00:10:03,600
was before, but I feel that it's
more I get more done. 

172
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:07,240
But for Dubai, do you have to up
the volume? 

173
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:11,080
No, I think, I think Dubai has 
changed massively. 

174
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:14,160
And when I went back there after
many, many years, I was 

175
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:15,760
literally bouncing off the 
walls. 

176
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:18,800
When I came back to London, I 
was so energized by the people 

177
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:22,440
that I met, the cultures. 
It was just extraordinary. 

178
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:27,800
And it's changed. 
And so any country that you work

179
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,720
in, you're going to be designing
for a different culture and what

180
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:34,720
people want. 
But I wouldn't say that Dubai is

181
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,080
for that reason. 
It's the complete opposite, 

182
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:38,840
actually. 
It's a proper melting pot, 

183
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:40,400
isn't? 
It Yeah, but it's just, you 

184
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:43,440
know, I what I loved about 
working in Asia for so many 

185
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:47,880
years is that you were 
appreciated and in a really 

186
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,520
magical way. 
And the Middle East is the same 

187
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:53,760
now. 
They love what you present to 

188
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:55,480
them. 
They're excited about your 

189
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:58,960
designs. 
And any designer would be lying 

190
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,760
if they didn't say they, they 
want someone to be happy with 

191
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:04,360
what you provide and design for 
them. 

192
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:07,440
It's not just about designing 
something and doing the job. 

193
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:09,200
It's like the whole process, 
isn't it? 

194
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:13,240
And the friendships that you 
make and, and the, you know, 

195
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,160
creating something that's 
different and groundbreaking. 

196
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:20,640
True, true, true, true. 
Today we're going on a style 

197
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,840
journey. 
How did you decide what you were

198
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:27,280
wearing for this interview? 
Well it's really interesting 

199
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:30,200
because I was thinking about it 
obviously because I was coming 

200
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,640
here, but I didn't think any 
differently in terms of getting 

201
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:34,240
dressed. 
This morning I came back from 

202
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:38,520
Brick Lane having got my back 
sorted and I just decided to put

203
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:43,960
on a warm pair of trousers and 
then thought I'll wear layers. 

204
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:47,960
So I didn't even think about the
fact I was coming to see you. 

205
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:53,320
But what it made me realize was 
that it took me nearly 48 years 

206
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:58,920
to get to a point where I knew 
what I wanted to wear, or 45 

207
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:04,280
years because I struggled 
throughout my but no one would 

208
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:07,240
know this. 
But I never really knew what my 

209
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,640
style was. 
And I remember when I met you 

210
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:15,120
and your kind of tailored 
clothing with your long coats 

211
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:18,400
and stuff, that was kind of the 
beginning, if you like, of my 

212
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:24,320
journey into more, I would say 
tailored. 

213
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:28,360
You know, I wear big trousers. 
I know what suits my shape, so 

214
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:32,480
when I shop now I know exactly 
what it is that is good on me, 

215
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:35,600
whereas I didn't before, so it 
took me a long time to get 

216
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:38,680
there. 
But when you say 45 years until 

217
00:12:38,680 --> 00:12:41,480
you were 45? 
I didn't really feel comfortable

218
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:45,600
in what I was wearing, Yeah. 
But that doesn't surprise me 

219
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:49,960
because I think a lot of people,
do you think, Yep, 40s or even 

220
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:55,640
50s before they really feel 
totally that they've got their 

221
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,400
style, do you think? 
It's because we just get to a 

222
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:00,840
point where we're old enough to 
not care. 

223
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:04,280
No, I don't. 
I think we really listen to our 

224
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,000
intuition and we really work out
what makes us. 

225
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:10,320
It's what you were saying about 
the home, what makes you feel 

226
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:12,760
amazing. 
It's the same clothing wise, 

227
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:14,000
what makes you? 
Feel. 

228
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:18,760
No, I totally I, I'm 100%. 
If you put something on and it 

229
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,360
doesn't feel right, you as a 
woman, you have to change that. 

230
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:23,800
Otherwise your day is destroyed.
Yeah. 

231
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:27,240
It's a bad clothing day or a bad
bad hair day. 

232
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:29,200
Now. 
You were born in South Africa, 

233
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,320
moved to London when you were 
two. 

234
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:35,080
Were you very aware of your 
parents style growing up? 

235
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:39,680
Yes, very. 
My mother has amazing style and 

236
00:13:39,680 --> 00:13:42,160
did very early on. 
You know, she had Chinchimino 

237
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:46,840
design, her study, I remember, 
and her bedroom was kind of 

238
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:48,920
groundbreaking when I look back 
at it. 

239
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:53,240
My father was in fashion, so I 
suppose sort of subconsciously 

240
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:56,200
it was always there. 
And of course she was into art, 

241
00:13:56,200 --> 00:14:00,480
and we were always in museums 
and music and very kind of 

242
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:05,120
people coming over to the house 
that were poets and authors and 

243
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,680
whatever. 
So I was kind of surrounded by 

244
00:14:07,680 --> 00:14:11,880
that whole world. 
So I'm not sure I was conscious 

245
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:15,520
of it, but subconsciously it was
very much a part of my growing 

246
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:17,080
up. 
I mean, I never knew your 

247
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:21,120
father, but your mother I always
thought of as being Immaculate, 

248
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:25,120
always the sort of twin set and 
pearls. 

249
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:27,640
I always think of her with giant
pearls. 

250
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:31,600
And I think of you as someone 
who wears pearls a lot. 

251
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:33,200
Do you think you've got that 
from your mother? 

252
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,840
Probably from my grandmother 
because she gave me some pearls.

253
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:38,720
So I think, and I've always 
loved pearls. 

254
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:40,640
I think pearls are great on your
skin. 

255
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:42,920
And yeah, I, yeah, I love. 
Jewelry. 

256
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:44,240
Do you still have your 
grandmother's? 

257
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:45,000
Pearls. 
Yeah, yeah, yeah. 

258
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:46,480
I wear them all the time. 
Hopefully. 

259
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:47,040
Yeah. 
Lovely. 

260
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,320
Do you think about her every 
time you put them on? 

261
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:53,520
Not every time, but I have a 
brooch that specifically reminds

262
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:57,680
me of her. 
But yeah, but I'm lazy when it 

263
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:00,280
comes to jewelry. 
I just put the same stuff on day

264
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:02,560
in and day out, you know, I. 
Think you're very good with 

265
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:05,680
jewelry, You know, you layer 
your jewelry really beautifully 

266
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:07,280
well. 
Thank you, but it is the same 

267
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:12,080
pieces. 
But do you remember the first 

268
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:18,360
time that clothes made you feel 
different, either in a good way 

269
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:21,240
or a bad way? 
Can I answer that twice? 

270
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:28,840
Yeah, so the first time I was 
probably 8, and I remember this 

271
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:33,280
because somebody found a photo 
of me standing wearing a bright 

272
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:39,000
orange and yellow dress that is 
quite horrendous. 

273
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:42,160
But I remember feeling so good 
in it. 

274
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,480
And I remember having to fight 
with my mother to wear it. 

275
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:50,400
But I remember really, really 
feeling great in that. 

276
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:56,960
And I think that there have been
many moments in my life where I 

277
00:15:56,960 --> 00:16:01,920
felt that way, but there have 
been as many the other way as in

278
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:03,840
not feeling that good. 
Yeah. 

279
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:07,440
So the other night I went out 
and I felt so good in what I was

280
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:09,360
wearing. 
And it was just a dress with a 

281
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:13,600
pair of sock boots with I, I 
just felt amazing. 

282
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,840
So the whole night I felt great.
But if you go somewhere and it's

283
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:21,560
something just isn't quite 
right, it I, I don't feel 100%. 

284
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:25,080
And I don't know if that's a bad
thing or it's just the way that 

285
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:28,440
we're built as women. 
Had you planned that look that 

286
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:32,440
you wore out the other night? 
Yeah, so I had thought about it.

287
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:34,800
Yeah. 
So I've become more laid back 

288
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:36,440
about it. 
So it's in the my consciousness.

289
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:38,560
If I'm lying in the bath, OK, 
what am I going to wear? 

290
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:45,280
And then that morning I decided 
begrudgingly can't say the word,

291
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:48,160
to try it all on. 
I couldn't actually be bothered.

292
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:51,120
But I tried it on quickly and I 
was like, Yep, that's fine. 

293
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:54,080
Hung it up and went. 
On with my day, grudgingly, was 

294
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:56,320
someone making you try? 
No, it was just I had better 

295
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:59,000
things to do, you know, that's 
what I'm saying. 

296
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:03,760
I'm more chilled about it. 
But if I hadn't and I got 

297
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:07,480
dressed sort of 45 minutes 
before and it didn't work, then 

298
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,839
I'd be like hot flush, you know,
running around mad at myself. 

299
00:17:10,839 --> 00:17:16,800
Just describe that look to me. 
So it was a Victoria Beckham, a 

300
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:21,119
kind of plum colored satin dress
with long sleeves that kind of 

301
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,720
slightly battered under here, 
but very, very tight. 

302
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:28,600
And it was, I think bias cut. 
And I had a pair of, I can never

303
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:31,160
say the designer's name. 
I always want to say Prozac, but

304
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:33,480
it's not Prozac. 
Thank you. 

305
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:39,040
Sock boots, flat because they 
were more comfortable. 

306
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:43,360
And I had my hair up like this, 
which is the lazy Kelly Hoppen 

307
00:17:43,360 --> 00:17:45,680
hair. 
And I just felt great because it

308
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,560
just slid on my body. 
The shoes were comfy. 

309
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:51,200
I was swanning around and it was
brilliant, brilliant. 

310
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:56,080
Now, spinning back, you spent a 
year living and playing with a 

311
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:57,600
band in South Africa. 
Oh. 

312
00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:01,440
My God, where did you get that? 
What were you wearing back then?

313
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,240
That was a troublesome time for 
clothes for me. 

314
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:10,880
I think I remember well it was 
probably warm, so sort of 

315
00:18:11,360 --> 00:18:13,840
hideous. 
Linen dresses and jeans and 

316
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:18,360
T-shirts and nothing special at 
all because we were, you know, 

317
00:18:18,360 --> 00:18:22,160
travelling a lot. 
To be honest with you, I can't 

318
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:24,240
remember because it was 
obviously so bad. 

319
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:27,640
It was a traumatic time. 
Yeah, clothing wise, you know, I

320
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:33,400
couldn't, no, not in my life, 
but just like I didn't really 

321
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:35,840
have a look. 
And I I think what I've learned 

322
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:39,160
today is if you have, you know, 
Angela Radcliffe, you know who 

323
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:41,760
you know, is a dear friend of 
mine, She really helped me with 

324
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:45,800
my wardrobe, eliminate things 
that I never wore but I felt I 

325
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:50,560
had to hold onto. 
And I sort of found my look. 

326
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:53,240
Whereas in those days, I didn't 
know whether I was Arthur or 

327
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:55,560
Martha, so I didn't know what I 
was doing. 

328
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:57,560
Yeah. 
So I never really had that 

329
00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:00,520
capsule wardrobe. 
Did you, do you feel like your 

330
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:03,760
style changed hugely when you 
returned to England and you 

331
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:07,120
started your business and. 
Yeah, but I was still very 

332
00:19:07,120 --> 00:19:08,720
young. 
I was sort of 16. 

333
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:13,560
So I think, you know, I had a 
look then, but it was kind of 

334
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:15,600
miss. 
I remember Missoni scarf, 

335
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,960
T-shirt, jeans, cowboy boots. 
It was kind of that era. 

336
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:22,880
And then I remember sort of 
going into more kind of Kenzo, 

337
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:28,160
more tailored. 
But yeah, I, I I'm better with 

338
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:30,520
tailored. 
Is it called tailoring? 

339
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:33,240
Yes, tailoring, you know, I 
think it's better for me to have

340
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:35,400
that kind of structure. 
Yeah. 

341
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:40,640
You got married for the first 
time at 23, so that was the 

342
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,120
early 80s. 
Can you describe that dress? 

343
00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:45,440
Oh my God, you are really 
drudging up some. 

344
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:48,960
Well, it's part of your journey.
It's part of your skin, not. 

345
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:50,400
Like a meringue. 
Are you happy? 

346
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:54,160
It was the 80s. 
Everyone looked like a meringue.

347
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:59,840
I mean, it was kind of crossover
here with a really odd cut on 

348
00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:05,640
the in at the waist and this big
thing that came out like skirt. 

349
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:10,120
But we could talk about my 
second wedding, which was a lot 

350
00:20:10,120 --> 00:20:13,240
better. 
Tell me about your second my. 

351
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:17,760
2nd wedding was How I Met you 
and I still have that. 

352
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:20,640
The coat and the dress. 
I would have them both. 

353
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:23,080
Oh my God. 
And I wear the coat all the time

354
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:24,560
over jeans. 
Lovely. 

355
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:29,200
So just to describe it to 
everybody, it was emerald green 

356
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:36,120
crushed velvet long coat with 
mink cuffs. 

357
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:39,000
And then it was a dress that had
like a mink bodice. 

358
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,280
It was very pre Raphaelite and I
had Amanda Wakeley. 

359
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:45,480
Jimmy Choo. 
Jimmy Choo shoes, flats and 

360
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:49,280
highs for the after party and 
whatever and I have never felt 

361
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:52,320
better. 
And I had beautiful antique red 

362
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:55,520
roses that John Carter did. 
And all the girls Sienna, 

363
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:59,640
Savannah and Tash all had 
similar crushed velvet. 

364
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,800
I think they were wearing have. 
You ever been a bridesmaid? 

365
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:06,400
Yes, I have been a bridesmaid. 
Good bridesmaids. 

366
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:09,000
Dresses bad. 
Well, I was very little. 

367
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:14,040
Yeah, I just found the bracelet,
funnily enough that I was given.

368
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:17,840
It was my mother's brother and 
sister-in-law that got married, 

369
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:23,160
so I was probably 6-7. 
Yeah, that was the first and 

370
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,040
last time. 
Was it a good moment? 

371
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:27,040
Yeah, I loved it. 
I loved it, loved it. 

372
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:28,960
It was white and it had a pink 
sash. 

373
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:30,960
Yeah. 
And I just thought that was the 

374
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:32,240
best thing ever. 
Yeah. 

375
00:21:32,360 --> 00:21:36,280
I think some of those young 
bridesmaids moments, oh, they 

376
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:40,560
can actually be what switches 
you on to realise the power of 

377
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:41,320
clothes. 
Yeah. 

378
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:45,520
How good you feel in that little
dress or that little outfit? 

379
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:48,920
Now, at the moment you're living
between London and the 

380
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:50,560
Cotswolds. 
Do you think you have a 

381
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,400
different style for the 
Cotswolds than you do for 

382
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:55,040
London? 
Tricky, isn't it? 

383
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,720
So when I said I found my style,
I definitely have found it, but 

384
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:04,360
it took me a little bit longer 
to find that mix of country and 

385
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:07,160
town. 
Yeah, but I've got it down to an

386
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:10,680
art now, and it's very chilled 
jeans. 

387
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:15,080
And then what I found is the old
country in averted commas, where

388
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,760
people went and literally just 
wore jeans and sweaters. 

389
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,240
Now, if you go to someone's 
house for dinner, you have to 

390
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:24,280
actually ask what to wear 
because I've made that mistake 

391
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:27,120
where I've kind of gone and that
kind of chilled, like sloppy 

392
00:22:27,120 --> 00:22:30,480
almost slippers, but not really.
And people are like properly 

393
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:33,320
dressed up. 
So you have to ask these days. 

394
00:22:33,360 --> 00:22:38,360
Cotswolds for you, I have to ask
this question. 

395
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:42,400
Do you think you've ever dressed
to match the room that you're 

396
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:45,720
going to be in? 
Never, never, never, never. 

397
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:48,560
Even at home, that's 
interesting, but. 

398
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:53,600
One weird factor is that John 
and I will get dressed on 

399
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:58,480
different floors and it's really
odd that we end up often like 

400
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:01,720
our Navy, he's in Navy. 
Our webby cut khaki, he's got 

401
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:03,440
cut. 
That's so weird. 

402
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:07,400
Do you think you've ever used 
clothes to, or bags for that 

403
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:11,400
matter, to message? 
Just talk about who you are. 

404
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:17,560
No, Well, no, not, not like what
you're sort of saying, but I 

405
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:21,760
think that I would dress a 
certain way in the old days if I

406
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:26,680
was going to give a speech or if
I knew who was in the room, you 

407
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:30,720
would dress appropriately, but 
not to not to give a message. 

408
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:35,600
And actually very early on in my
career, and I won't say who, but

409
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:40,960
somebody, I got dressed one day 
to go and give a talk at 

410
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:46,280
Bloomberg and I dress in 
something that was so not me. 

411
00:23:46,360 --> 00:23:49,560
Like I was going like I was in 
suits and, you know, banking. 

412
00:23:50,120 --> 00:23:53,280
Going into a boardroom. 
And somebody just went, what are

413
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,840
you doing? 
Like, where has Kelly Hopping 

414
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:57,800
gone? 
You're going there because of 

415
00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:00,520
who you are. 
Go and get dressed 

416
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:02,200
appropriately. 
And I remember that being a 

417
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:05,640
really pivotal moment for me, 
which was never lose your 

418
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:08,280
identity wearing somebody else's
clothes. 

419
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:12,440
That is such good advice, I 
think it really is. 

420
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:15,920
And I think it came out of fear 
that I wasn't good enough to be 

421
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:17,280
doing Bloomberg. 
Yeah. 

422
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:18,720
Do you know? 
Yeah. 

423
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:22,640
So I think, and I think more 
today, people can be their own 

424
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:24,320
identity, can't they? 
You only have to look at the 

425
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:27,240
Fashion Awards, all different 
ages, age groups, all in 

426
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:31,240
different types of clothes, just
having a good time and being who

427
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:34,280
they want to be. 
And you know, in this crazy 

428
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:37,240
world we live in, I think that 
in itself is a good thing. 

429
00:24:38,120 --> 00:24:42,160
Talking about dressing 
appropriately, you were awarded 

430
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:46,440
your CPE in 2020. 
Now that's quite a moment. 

431
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:50,080
You went to Windsor? 
Windsor this time, yeah. 

432
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:52,520
What did you wear to collect 
your honor? 

433
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:56,120
So Sam Dougal, who's made quite 
a few pieces for me, I called 

434
00:24:56,120 --> 00:25:00,080
him up and he'd made me a kind 
of classic dress that I've worn 

435
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:04,760
over the years on and off, which
was, you know, racer back and 

436
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:07,000
just very tight with a huge 
skirt. 

437
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:11,160
And I said, I really want to 
wear something in a beautiful 

438
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:16,880
grey, like a kind of wool and 
with this tiny little blue 

439
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:20,800
bolero type of jacket that came 
across because I knew I would be

440
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:24,720
putting my, my CBE on and I knew
what color it was. 

441
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:26,640
So I was kind of working it that
way. 

442
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:30,360
And so he made it for me. 
And I've still got it and I'll 

443
00:25:30,360 --> 00:25:32,840
I'll wear it with a pair of 
trainers and do something 

444
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:38,240
different with it another time. 
But I always find making clothes

445
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:43,200
for something quite terrifying. 
I prefer to go and try something

446
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:46,360
on and buy it. 
Did you wear a hat? 

447
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:49,400
No with. 
This no. 

448
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:52,680
Would you say you've got a style
icon? 

449
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:57,960
Yes, So you'll probably laugh, 
but obviously it's someone like 

450
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:01,000
Jane Birkin. 
I mean, who wouldn't? 

451
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:04,760
I loved her kind of casualness 
and it just, she threw it all 

452
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:06,920
together and it just looked so 
effortless. 

453
00:26:07,360 --> 00:26:10,760
But then I was thinking of 
somebody like Diane Keaton. 

454
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:15,440
Keaton Keaton, yes, that kind of
look with the baggy trousers and

455
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:17,720
the shirt and the polo neck and 
whatever. 

456
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:21,960
I sort of like that. 
I, I really found that amazing. 

457
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:25,720
So I'm not picking an icon like 
a Marilyn Monroe who, you know, 

458
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:27,880
I absolutely adore. 
I'm sort of talking more about 

459
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:32,280
people that I look to, even Meg 
Ryan, who's a dear friend, but 

460
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:36,480
her look and the way she would 
wear dresses with bigger, 

461
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:40,160
clunkier shoes and things, 
people like that that have 

462
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:43,360
created a look and a style for 
me, they are iconic. 

463
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:48,120
Would you say you had an 
interior style icon when you 

464
00:26:48,120 --> 00:26:52,040
first started I? 
Think I was too young, the only 

465
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:55,320
one who you know, But you know, 
obviously the David Hicks of, of

466
00:26:55,360 --> 00:26:57,320
our, you know, was 
extraordinary. 

467
00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:59,400
It was the very first book I'd 
ever bought. 

468
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:01,480
I've still got it and it's 
completely faded. 

469
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:06,200
But there are, you know, there 
are some unbelievable designers,

470
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:10,240
you know, that have been around 
for a long time. 

471
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:14,440
But they were all very different
styles to what I did. 

472
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:18,760
But I suppose when I started the
likes of Anoushka Hemphill, who 

473
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:23,440
I hugely admire, their granny 
who's a completely different 

474
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:28,600
style, you know, Christine Liag 
is my 100% top icon of all 

475
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:33,040
times, you know. 
But then there are a few people,

476
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:35,280
yeah, that I definitely looked 
up to. 

477
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:38,840
And you're in front of the 
camera a lot, are you? 

478
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:41,280
Does that affect your choice of 
what you put on? 

479
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:45,360
Well I'll always want to know if
it's going to be hot or cold so 

480
00:27:45,360 --> 00:27:48,320
that I don't overheat and have 
too many clothes on. 

481
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:53,200
So I think that is probably the 
only checklist that I check now.

482
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:58,640
But I want to feel comfortable. 
I want to feel OK in what I'm 

483
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:02,200
wearing. 
But you're not sort of aware of 

484
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:07,840
silhouette in terms of filming. 
No, no, not really. 

485
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:10,160
Now you were a WAG for a short 
while. 

486
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:13,800
God, you're really. 
Dreading too, and I was proud to

487
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:16,080
be a WAG, no? 
I think, you know, it was a 

488
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:18,360
moment. 
It was a, it was a fun moment. 

489
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:22,040
You know, when you were dating 
Sol Campbell, do you think your 

490
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:27,000
style changed notably? 
I mean, he was also a 16 years 

491
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:29,680
old junior. 
Yeah, so I remember that moment 

492
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:34,880
that picture was taken of us at 
an Asprey opening, and I was 

493
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:38,280
wearing an orange satin Calvin 
Klein dress. 

494
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:42,480
And it was everywhere after 
that. 

495
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:44,920
And it was like, you know, Kelly
Hoppin, her Renaissance and 

496
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:47,680
whatever. 
But I look back at my fashion 

497
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:52,160
past that first date and it was 
quite questionable. 

498
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:56,000
Now when I look back at it, you 
know, it was quite dolchig a 

499
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:59,600
banner. 
It was quite a bit over the top.

500
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:04,040
I just wish I had been the 
person I am now in fashion then,

501
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:06,520
because it would have been. 
But it doesn't work that way. 

502
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:10,800
So yeah, it was, you know, a 
part of my life that I don't 

503
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:14,200
regret. 
But I certainly don't think my 

504
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:18,760
choices of clothing were great. 
But were you affected by 

505
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:21,760
probably the other Wags? 
Oh, no, no, not by the other 

506
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:27,800
Wags, but more about no, 
definitely not by them, but just

507
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:31,040
because of the relationship. 
I think maybe what was expected 

508
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:35,600
of me, maybe more, yeah. 
And I mean, now you're with John

509
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:37,600
very happily. 
Does he? 

510
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:39,800
Does he have a lot to say about 
what you wear? 

511
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:42,400
Nothing at all. 
And do you dress? 

512
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:47,520
Who would you say you dress for?
I think I dress differently now.

513
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:50,560
I mean, every time I come down, 
if we're going out, I'll say, 

514
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:52,920
what do you think? 
And he goes absolutely 

515
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:54,600
beautiful. 
But then you always do look 

516
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:56,280
beautiful. 
He always says that. 

517
00:29:56,800 --> 00:30:00,160
But if I said to him, as I did 
the other day, which shoe he 

518
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:05,440
went, please don't ask me that 
because he hasn't, you know, 

519
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:08,600
it's not his thing. 
But he will always say you look 

520
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:10,160
fabulous. 
Oh yeah. 

521
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:14,720
Good boy John, how would you 
want someone to describe your 

522
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:20,040
style DNA in three words? 
Stylish, classic and effortless 

523
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:22,920
like that. 
I mean, that's what I'd like to 

524
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:25,200
be seen. 
It probably would be something 

525
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:30,280
completely different. 
What do you reach for when you 

526
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:34,880
need to feel empowered? 
I will always go for one or two 

527
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:37,200
pairs of trousers. 
Funny enough, a leather pair of 

528
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:43,560
trousers and a sweater probably 
would make me feel good rather 

529
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:47,880
than an evening dress, you know,
because my identity is more 

530
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:51,440
about the big trouser with the 
small top and a good pair of 

531
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:54,960
trainers or a good pair of shoes
that that will make me feel 

532
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:58,040
strong. 
And I like to put a twist on 

533
00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:01,080
clothes, which you've always 
done. 

534
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:03,720
You know, you taught me a huge 
amount in the way that you used 

535
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:09,560
to mix your styles and, you 
know, wear something I'll never 

536
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:11,120
forget. 
One of your things was a 

537
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:19,040
beautiful grey satin Duchess 
silk massive skirt, which you 

538
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:20,920
just wore with a grey cashmere 
sweater. 

539
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:23,040
And I remember thinking, God, 
that's so clever. 

540
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:26,400
You know, mixing those, and it's
what I've done in interiors, is 

541
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:29,000
mix the most unusual fabrics 
together. 

542
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:32,560
So I think for me, it's about 
finding something, you know, 

543
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:34,880
fits your body no matter how you
feel. 

544
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:36,400
Yeah. 
And that's empowering. 

545
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:38,440
Yeah. 
I mean, talking about feeling, I

546
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:41,840
know you had a horrible brush 
with breast cancer a few years 

547
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:45,960
ago and I just wondered if you 
ever used clothes during that 

548
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:49,760
time, sort of, you know, as a, 
as your armour. 

549
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:52,960
It was a very vulnerable time. 
No, not really, because your 

550
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:55,680
shape changes, you know, after 
what I went through. 

551
00:31:55,680 --> 00:32:00,480
So I'm, I'm sort of conscious 
now, less so because I don't 

552
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:05,680
care because I'm cancer free. 
But you know, I have one breast 

553
00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:08,760
which is smaller than the other 
and it just is what it is. 

554
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:11,920
So if I'm going to be wearing 
something that is tight, I will 

555
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:15,560
probably make sure that I put a 
bra on that looks better. 

556
00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:18,560
But actually I don't care. 
And in a way that's quite 

557
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:22,440
liberating for me that I've kind
of got to the point where health

558
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:26,200
is more important than that. 
So I think at the time it was 

559
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:29,920
literally track suits and just 
feeling kind of cosy. 

560
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:31,880
Cocooning. 
Yeah, yeah, yeah. 

561
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:36,480
We talk about hair, makeup, 
manicures for a moment. 

562
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:39,360
Have you ever been tempted with 
the Talon nails? 

563
00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:42,480
Because I know you've you're 
always a woman who's got the 

564
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:45,360
most Immaculate nails. 
I have a thing. 

565
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:48,280
Well, so do you. 
I have a thing about short nails

566
00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:52,440
and if they get too long I can't
bear it so I literally. 

567
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:57,000
The tap on the keyboard. 
Yeah, I just, I hate the way it 

568
00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:58,880
feels. 
I like very short so and I 

569
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:01,800
admire women that have got long,
long nails. 

570
00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:05,040
I used to, but nails are really 
important for me because I use 

571
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:09,720
my hands a lot and I think it's 
something that's easy to get 

572
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:13,000
done. 
My hair on the other side is, 

573
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:16,200
you know, either down or up. 
There's those are the only two 

574
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:18,360
ways. 
And I've become very lazy in the

575
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:21,040
last couple of years where it's 
literally in a scrunchie. 

576
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:23,240
Never thought I'd actually say I
was wearing one. 

577
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:28,240
I was trying to work out 
somebody. 

578
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:30,960
Bought it for me, but I just 
wrote and I literally just put 

579
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:33,720
it up and it goes on the top and
it kind of it. 

580
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:36,280
It just is what it is. 
Because otherwise, there's a lot

581
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:40,040
of it, but it's kind of the only
thing in my life that's never 

582
00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:43,920
let me down is my hair. 
A lot of other things, huh? 

583
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:50,120
Where are you at on tweakments? 
What's a tweakment? 

584
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:54,840
A tweakment is a bit of filler, 
a bit of Botox, a bit of. 

585
00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:59,920
I am 100% into collagen wave and
which. 

586
00:33:59,960 --> 00:34:02,240
Is collagen wave. 
So collagen wave is something 

587
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:07,320
that I have done for probably, 
it's probably six years. 

588
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:11,719
So Neelam, it's like a wand and 
it overheats the collagen 

589
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:14,920
inside. 
And I've been doing it every 

590
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:18,880
month for probably six years. 
So that sort of creates some 

591
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:21,080
trauma. 
It creates the trauma under the 

592
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:23,159
skin, but it depends how hot you
have it. 

593
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:27,440
And I will do. 
And I've had micro needling and 

594
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:32,000
I've had Morpheus a couple of 
years ago. 

595
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:36,239
So I've done things like that. 
But you were one of the faces of

596
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:40,639
the L'Oreal Age Perfect 
campaign, which is amazing, 

597
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:43,280
Absolutely. 
What did that mean to you? 

598
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:49,159
Well, I was so shocked when I 
got the e-mail, but so excited 

599
00:34:49,159 --> 00:34:52,199
because it was, it's such an 
iconic brand to say I'm worth 

600
00:34:52,199 --> 00:34:54,719
it. 
And obviously, like drove John 

601
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:56,960
mad. 
After that, you can only 

602
00:34:56,960 --> 00:35:00,080
imagine. 
But more to the point, I thought

603
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:03,400
the campaign was so strong and 
so relevant. 

604
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:04,280
God. 
We need more of. 

605
00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:09,680
Them so relevant to my age at 65
and so many times people have 

606
00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:13,640
come up and said you look great 
for your age and but I'd never 

607
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:17,120
kind of thought about it until I
read it and read the campaign 

608
00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:20,400
notes and they wanted it to be 
really authentic. 

609
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:25,600
And I was like 100%. 
So it was a, you know, a 

610
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:29,560
frighteningly brilliant day 
shooting it are. 

611
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:33,880
You a talking age. 
Are you aware of dressing 

612
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:39,480
appropriately for your age? 
No, because I think I do anyway.

613
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:42,320
I mean, I'm not, you know, as 
you know, better than anyone. 

614
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:46,080
I'm never going to be in a pair 
of hot pants or a mini skirt, so

615
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:47,640
that's never going to be a 
problem. 

616
00:35:49,240 --> 00:35:52,720
But no, I don't think so. 
I don't. 

617
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:56,520
Would you say you've had had a 
worst fashion moment? 

618
00:35:56,720 --> 00:36:00,800
Oh God, yeah, so many. 
One in particular that really 

619
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:04,320
stands out that you think about 
and you just cringe. 

620
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:12,240
Well, one was a dress that 
somebody lent me that was so 

621
00:36:12,240 --> 00:36:15,680
heavy to walk in. 
God, I hope it wasn't. 

622
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:17,320
Wasn't yours? 
I knew you were going to say 

623
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:18,600
that. 
It definitely wasn't one of 

624
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:20,440
yours. 
I still own a lot of your 

625
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:26,360
dresses, you know, I've kept 
them, but I couldn't walk. 

626
00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:30,240
And yeah, it was a lot of metal 
on it and stuff. 

627
00:36:30,240 --> 00:36:32,760
It looked amazing, but I 
couldn't get out the car. 

628
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:34,200
I couldn't walk down the red 
carpet. 

629
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:36,880
So that was definitely not one 
of my greatest moments. 

630
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:38,880
It wasn't effortless. 
No. 

631
00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:45,680
When you're choosing what to 
wear, do you start with a 

632
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:48,720
particular item in mind that you
really, really want to wear, 

633
00:36:48,720 --> 00:36:52,920
Like a new pair of sneakers or a
pants or. 

634
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:55,960
But I think that I think if you 
start with a pair of shoes, it 

635
00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:58,320
becomes quite awkward. 
I don't know if that's the same 

636
00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:02,600
with you, but I'm always better 
starting with the trousers or a 

637
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:05,760
dress or a jacket rather than a 
shoe. 

638
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:09,160
End up with everything on the 
floor because I just want to 

639
00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:12,040
wear this pair of shoes and it's
just not going to happen. 

640
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:20,920
When you are going out shopping,
if you indeed you do, do you 

641
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:25,680
have in mind what you're looking
for or do you, are you, are you 

642
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:28,280
a mood shopper? 
Well, I. 

643
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:32,200
Don't really go out shopping. 
I do a lot of shopping online, 

644
00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:35,640
but when I go to another 
country, if I'm traveling for 

645
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:39,080
work, I know this is going to 
sound weird, but I can kind of 

646
00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:43,240
dream up the, the one thing that
I've wanted for a long time. 

647
00:37:43,240 --> 00:37:46,600
And I and I kind of make it 
happen and I'll walk into a shop

648
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:51,680
and it will be there. 
But that moment will be probably

649
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:56,280
a 15 minute moment that I will 
have in my work day where I've 

650
00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:58,960
just specifically going to go 
there because I'm sure I'm going

651
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:02,200
to find that one thing. 
Can you give me a for instance? 

652
00:38:02,720 --> 00:38:06,360
So it will be like I'll be. 
In Milan and I will have been 

653
00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:11,720
before to Corsicoma and I'd had 
a great experience at that time 

654
00:38:11,720 --> 00:38:15,160
before finding something so in 
my mind I'd be like what would I

655
00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:18,880
think I could find there? 
So it might be the perfect white

656
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:23,360
T-shirt or it would be a certain
brand that I know is that. 

657
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:25,840
And I think, well, I wonder if 
they've got that and I'll find 

658
00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:29,040
it. 
So it's not like magic, but it's

659
00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:32,120
like, I will go there 
specifically for something and 

660
00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:35,360
it often works. 
Have you ever? 

661
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:43,080
Bought yourself a gift having 
completed a large project that 

662
00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:46,440
that just as a sort of a well 
done Kelly gift. 

663
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:48,120
No, because I do that quite 
often. 

664
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:53,200
Anyway, I thought you might say 
that I don't need a job to do 

665
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:57,360
that. 
I'm quite good to myself, as you

666
00:38:57,360 --> 00:38:59,720
should be. 
And let's talk about travel for 

667
00:38:59,720 --> 00:39:02,160
a minute. 
Do you pay particular attention 

668
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:05,840
to your your airport look, your 
travel look not like other 

669
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:09,600
people? 
Do but I I will be comfortable, 

670
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:13,600
but I'm conscious that I I like 
to travel looking good. 

671
00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:16,440
But I think it's more about your
handbag. 

672
00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:19,040
I don't know why, I don't know 
why. 

673
00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:22,400
What's your favorite handbag? 
I guess the first. 

674
00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:25,280
Birkin I ever bought because 
that was a really big moment for

675
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:26,680
me. 
Was it a Taupe 1? 

676
00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:27,920
No. 
Actually, it was. 

677
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:31,440
Like sand color, you know, 
they're classic. 

678
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:36,120
And then my row bag that I have 
now, I just love. 

679
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:39,240
But I everyone knows I'm a 
Hamburg person. 

680
00:39:39,240 --> 00:39:41,560
I love hamburgers. 
I particularly like mini 

681
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:43,800
handbags. 
Coming back to travel. 

682
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:46,760
Good Packer, bad Packer. 
I'm a brilliant Packer now. 

683
00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:49,720
I was dreadful before, but I've 
taught myself. 

684
00:39:49,720 --> 00:39:53,800
I actually went on on Google and
and looked at some people showed

685
00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:57,520
how you roll things and pack 
everything and I learnt 

686
00:39:57,520 --> 00:40:00,680
something new the other day, you
know, in your suitcase. 

687
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:04,360
Like one of those wheelie ones 
that you open, you know, on the 

688
00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:07,280
one side, it's got a zip, but 
you never think you can put 

689
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:10,120
something underneath. 
But it is, It's for shoes. 

690
00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:12,200
Did you know that? 
I didn't. 

691
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:15,240
Anyway, what? 
What luggage do you use? 

692
00:40:15,720 --> 00:40:19,960
Samsung. 
Just really simple, easy, but. 

693
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:23,880
And I never pretty much check in
a bag, really. 

694
00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:26,720
Yeah, so I've got that good 
because I've lost so much 

695
00:40:26,720 --> 00:40:30,120
luggage which. 
Brand, would you consider to be 

696
00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:34,640
your guilty secret and why the 
Roe I. 

697
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:36,560
Thought you were going to say 
that A. 

698
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:39,560
Teeny. 
Teeny bit of Chanel every so 

699
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:43,880
often but not really. 
I would say more the Roe or Yeah

700
00:40:44,720 --> 00:40:47,320
High Street favorite. 
Well, Zara. 

701
00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:55,360
M&S for Cashmere, Zara for kind 
of cool things that you might 

702
00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:57,200
just want to add to other 
things. 

703
00:40:58,720 --> 00:41:00,720
Yeah, a money. 
No object brand? 

704
00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:07,360
Well, the row and. 
What, if anything? 

705
00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:10,000
Do you feel you have an 
excessive amount of in your 

706
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:12,520
wardrobe handbags? 
Yeah. 

707
00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:14,160
You're not going to tell me how 
many are you? 

708
00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:17,800
No, because it's not as many as.
You think, but I've just I it's 

709
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:22,920
not even big handbags, it's 
little ones as they're like 

710
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:26,560
tiny, they don't really count. 
And do you use them? 

711
00:41:26,560 --> 00:41:27,560
I can. 
Use them all. 

712
00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:28,840
Yeah, you. 
Can fit things. 

713
00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:33,160
In them, yeah, definitely. 
Who does the best mini mini bag?

714
00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:35,000
Well, it depends what you call 
by. 

715
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:40,000
Mini So VB Victoria Beckham, her
Dorian bag or all her bags. 

716
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:44,440
She has really thought out the 
telephone, you know, your 

717
00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:48,520
lipstick, your everything that 
you might need, and it's small 

718
00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:49,280
enough. 
Yeah. 

719
00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:50,840
Woman designing for. 
Women. 

720
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:54,160
Yeah, absolutely. 
Guilty. 

721
00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:58,000
Secret What's the most expensive
item of clothing you've bought? 

722
00:41:58,080 --> 00:41:59,920
I'm not asking for the price 
tag. 

723
00:41:59,920 --> 00:42:02,880
You might be relieved to hear. 
Well, it was probably the. 

724
00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:05,960
Birkin, I would think, yeah. 
Do you still use your? 

725
00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:11,160
Birkins yes I do, but. 
I'm not as much as I used to, 

726
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:16,440
but I do love them and I sort of
quite like the way people are 

727
00:42:17,520 --> 00:42:20,720
putting things on them now and 
making them not so quite so 

728
00:42:20,720 --> 00:42:23,320
stiff looking. 
Yeah, I must admit I pulled. 

729
00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:27,240
One of mine out of the safe the 
other day in the country and I 

730
00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:30,320
thought, God, it's knackered. 
Is it the blue one? 

731
00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:31,520
No. 
No. 

732
00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:34,080
It was the tan 1 and I just 
thought. 

733
00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:36,760
Maybe I should just? 
Graffiti it. 

734
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:40,040
No, no, don't do that. 
What's? 

735
00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:43,840
Your approach to sustainable 
fashion look, I think. 

736
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:49,040
Everything we do in this life 
right now should be sustainable,

737
00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:53,200
should be green, should be, you 
know, and without getting 

738
00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:57,000
political, you know, everyone is
in Baku was last week trying to 

739
00:42:57,000 --> 00:43:02,080
figure out how we can do all of 
this as we're seeing, you know, 

740
00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:05,360
towns around us sitting in 
water. 

741
00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:08,360
And, you know, so I think 
whatever we're doing in the 

742
00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:11,920
world, we have to become more 
sustainable for all kinds of 

743
00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:14,560
reasons, but we need to do it 
quicker. 

744
00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:18,160
And I'm not an expert on it. 
So I don't know what it is that 

745
00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:22,440
we're doing wrong, but I I'm all
for being sustainable in every 

746
00:43:22,840 --> 00:43:25,640
aspect of the way that we live. 
What do you do with your 

747
00:43:25,640 --> 00:43:27,040
clothes? 
When you've had enough of them, 

748
00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:28,920
give them. 
Away. 

749
00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:33,760
Do you ever sell them? 
I sell some of the like big 

750
00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:37,720
pieces that, you know, I've I've
had for a while, but I tend to 

751
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:42,440
like recycle them. 
And when I did the big clear 

752
00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:48,000
out, I gave a huge amount away. 
I mean like a proper amount 1 to

753
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:51,400
a particular woman who I gave to
who I knew was going to then 

754
00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:55,280
give it to a lot of other people
because it just felt the right 

755
00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:57,480
thing to do. 
You know what's old to me, is 

756
00:43:57,480 --> 00:44:00,560
new to someone else, just begins
its journey. 

757
00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:02,720
Yeah, or it continues its 
journey. 

758
00:44:02,720 --> 00:44:04,120
It continues its journey which 
is sort. 

759
00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:07,120
Of I love that, yeah. 
Do you ever buy vintage? 

760
00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:11,240
I have a bit of a problem with. 
Vintage because I feel like it's

761
00:44:11,240 --> 00:44:15,640
got history that you don't know 
about on the one side. 

762
00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:19,960
And on the other side, I want to
go, yeah, I love vintage because

763
00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:27,240
it sounds cool, but maybe I just
haven't had great success with 

764
00:44:27,240 --> 00:44:30,160
vintage. 
And there's a smell about 

765
00:44:30,160 --> 00:44:32,560
vintage. 
But there are some people who I 

766
00:44:32,560 --> 00:44:35,600
admire who always look 
incredible in vintage pieces. 

767
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:38,960
And what would you say? 
Is the oldest piece in your 

768
00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:41,040
wardrobe? 
Well, probably. 

769
00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:47,080
Jewelry, obviously, yeah, I've 
probably got a few pieces that 

770
00:44:47,080 --> 00:44:49,200
I've had for a like jeans 
actually. 

771
00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:52,800
Yeah, like 5 O ones and yeah, 
yeah, yeah. 

772
00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:56,440
Oh, and I've got yes, I've got 
lots of very cool. 

773
00:44:56,560 --> 00:45:01,240
I've got Voyage jeans that I 
never threw away with all of 

774
00:45:01,240 --> 00:45:02,720
the. 
Stars justify through. 

775
00:45:02,720 --> 00:45:04,240
Yeah. 
No, no, I know. 

776
00:45:04,240 --> 00:45:09,080
But they still fit and yeah, so 
probably jeans are the oldest 

777
00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:12,040
thing, but our. 
Bodies change. 

778
00:45:12,240 --> 00:45:15,640
You're super fit and probably 
fitter than you've ever been. 

779
00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:18,040
Yeah, with jeans. 
Have you? 

780
00:45:18,240 --> 00:45:19,640
I've altered them. 
You've altered. 

781
00:45:19,720 --> 00:45:21,360
Them I've done an Amanda 
Wakeley. 

782
00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:25,120
Yeah, I mean, you're the the, 
you know, the ultimate of 

783
00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:28,200
changing and doing stuff to say 
upcycling. 

784
00:45:28,200 --> 00:45:30,000
Yeah, right. 
Let's spin. 

785
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:33,200
On some quick fire questions. 
OK, what fashion advice would 

786
00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:35,880
you give your 20 year old self? 
Oh. 

787
00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:39,200
Start again. 
I mean literally. 

788
00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:45,280
I wish I would have been able to
be confident enough to be able 

789
00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:48,240
to feel good in what I was 
wearing. 

790
00:45:48,240 --> 00:45:52,240
I feel like I wasted a whole 
part of my youth not feeling 

791
00:45:52,240 --> 00:45:55,640
good in the clothes that I wore.
And yet you probably look back 

792
00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:57,720
at the. 
Pictures and think I look great,

793
00:45:57,800 --> 00:46:01,880
no I don't. 
Which fashion? 

794
00:46:01,880 --> 00:46:04,120
Trend would you most like to see
make a comeback? 

795
00:46:04,360 --> 00:46:07,720
I'm quite partial to sort of. 
Gatsby, you know, all of the 

796
00:46:07,720 --> 00:46:12,600
kind of that movement in dresses
and things, flapper dresses. 

797
00:46:12,600 --> 00:46:16,480
I could pass on the hats, but I,
I kind of love that whole era. 

798
00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:19,360
Yeah, fashion or. 
Beauty trend that you would 

799
00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:22,160
consign to room 101? 
What do you call those things? 

800
00:46:22,160 --> 00:46:25,680
Knickerbockers. 
Not great, no. 

801
00:46:26,080 --> 00:46:27,800
Awful. 
I can't really think of anything

802
00:46:28,080 --> 00:46:30,440
your last impulse by. 
Yesterday. 

803
00:46:33,040 --> 00:46:35,400
What was it it? 
Was a pair of. 

804
00:46:36,120 --> 00:46:45,360
Shirling lined black suede kind 
of slipper boot from the row. 

805
00:46:49,040 --> 00:46:52,120
Impulse, extravagant buy, 
Probably go back. 

806
00:46:52,320 --> 00:46:54,240
Your views on. 
Tattoos. 

807
00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:57,960
I don't have AII. 
Don't dislike tattoos. 

808
00:46:57,960 --> 00:47:00,720
I wish I'd had the courage to 
have a tiny little one on my 

809
00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:03,720
wrist or something when I was 
like, in my 20s, but I wouldn't 

810
00:47:03,720 --> 00:47:06,160
do it now. 
I'm surrounded by people with 

811
00:47:06,160 --> 00:47:11,080
tattoos, you know, in my office.
My kids, they're cool. 

812
00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:13,320
Beauty treatment you. 
Couldn't give up. 

813
00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:16,240
Oh, collagen wave. 
High end.

00:47:16,240 --> 00:47:19,520

Can I say both? 

815
00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:21,240
Yeah.

00:47:22,640 --> 00:47:24,680

Couture or charity? 
Shop, you're so mean. 

819
00:47:32,720 --> 00:47:35,400
Well I've never bought couture 
so I'm going to say charity 

820
00:47:35,400 --> 00:47:37,280
shop. 
Crocs. 

821
00:47:37,280 --> 00:47:39,960
Cute or puke? 
Oh, total puke. 

822
00:47:40,320 --> 00:47:44,520
Sneakers or stilettos? 
Sneakers, bags or shoes? 

823
00:47:46,320 --> 00:47:51,080
Oh, bags boyfriends or wide 
legs. 

824
00:47:51,880 --> 00:47:55,400
Wide legs body con or boho body

00:47:56,160 --> 00:47:59,120
Sports Lux or. 
Rock Chick Sports Lux. 

826
00:47:59,480 --> 00:48:03,960
Red carpet or? 
Relax, relax Trendle. 

827
00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:05,960
Style. 
Style. 

828
00:48:06,240 --> 00:48:09,520
Color or monochrome? 
Or taupe monochrome is good. 

829
00:48:10,240 --> 00:48:14,440
Experimental. 
Or UU cashmere or cotton, 

830
00:48:14,680 --> 00:48:26,000
cashmere, beanie or Berry. 
Very hoarder or editor? 

831
00:48:26,240 --> 00:48:29,200
Editor, charity shop or resale? 
Both. 

832
00:48:29,920 --> 00:48:32,920
Shapewear or sexy lingerie? 
Oh, skims.

00:48:32,920 --> 00:48:37,360
Yeah, comfy. 
Yeah, Bridget Jones. 

834
00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:40,880
Not that bad. 
Tights or stockings? 

835
00:48:41,400 --> 00:48:44,240
Stockings. 
Definitely bikini or one piece. 

836
00:48:44,600 --> 00:48:48,280
Bikini and finally, traditional 
last question. 

837
00:48:48,280 --> 00:48:51,360
At the end of the day, what do 
you or don't you wear in bed? 

838
00:48:52,160 --> 00:48:56,760
Oh, it's I. 
Wear like a sarong which ends up

839
00:48:56,760 --> 00:49:01,880
around my waist, which I think 
probably comes from childhood. 

840
00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:06,640
So I'm basically naked but with 
something around my waist, 

841
00:49:09,640 --> 00:49:12,240
Kelly. 
I've so enjoyed going on our 

842
00:49:12,240 --> 00:49:14,320
style journey together. 
Thank you. 

843
00:49:14,920 --> 00:49:17,960
Thank you for thank you so much.
What fun.
