Finally, I was able to click my Manolos and arrive back home in England. Now I'm going to get my degree and go paint the world red (or whatever's the new black).

Apart from designing for my label Charlotte C I sing and song-write and do a few gigs here and there (mainly jazz). I adore travelling and sailed to New Zealand from England two years ago which allowed me an island-packed 18 months of it. I still think I prefer planes..

I can't wait to get out there, do my own thing and make a packet.

My Style

I suppose a bit eclectic, a bit rock 'n' roll. I'm a slave to the skinny jean and my kohl. I'm also rather fond of shift dresses and 60s op-art prints. I have a massive collection of belts and hats and do a bit of vintage buying as well. Black and white dominate. Corsets rock and I think underwear can make perfectly acceptable outerwear.

I dress up to go out anywhere I'm submitting myself to the public eye, be it the supermarket or fashion week. Cursed be the individual who took tracksuits outside the gym.

Favourite Labels

Charlotte C of course...! Then there's McQueen, Miu Miu, Mala Brajkovic, Sass & Bide, Balenciaga..

Best Feature

Eyes (cliche but I can't help it) and arms.

Interests

Fashion, music, other arty stuff like graphic design and photography (loving Horst, Bourdin and Bailey at the moment). Politics (and I'm probably far too opinionated). Travelling. Patriotism. I'm also a fitness junkie.

Hates

People who eat noisily. Is it really so difficult to keep your mouth closed? We really do not want to see or hear anything that has had the misfortune of finding it's way into your inconsiderate cake hole.

Ignorance. There is no excuse for a lack of general knowledge, if you're not naturally intelligent and interested in the world, it's a duty to those surrounding you that you work at it.

Music

The Cure, Queen, Tapping The Vein, The Damned, Scissor Sisters, Razorlight, The White Stripes, AC/DC, Muse, The Hives, The Strokes, The Distillers, Garbage, No Doubt, Lilly Allen, Annie Lennox.

Movies

Lock Stock, Snatch, Layer Cake, Life Of Brian, V For Vendetta, Notting Hill, A Clockwork Orange..

Television

Scrubs, Bad Girls, Eastenders (we all have our cross to bear), Little Britain.

Reading

Controversial stuff is always great and a bit of chick lit if I need to chill out. I'm a sucker for the fashion mags.

Smoking

Don't Smoke

Drinking

Drink Socially

Ideal Night Out

An outdoor rock concert followed by girly cocktails (some bar with lots of suede sofas and modern art) then crash in a luxury hotel (with a spa). Ideally.
