Lady Dior Dior makeup, but it's all sealed, all in its packaging.

Yep.

In boxes.

In boxes.

So tell me all about this makeup and why this means something to you.

Dior princess rings Dior princess rings and these were rings yes so these ones actually haven't got the plastic on these haven't got the plastic these were the only ones I couldn't find with the plastic on but when you open them they're so cool what I have taken out of the box is this really heavy Dior ring but it's a silver ring and there's a

It's like a chunky statement ring that opens up and then you've got your eyeliner, lip gloss.

Yeah, so there's two things inside.

So this is obviously just for aesthetic purposes that we're keeping this because it's vintage.

And I mean, we're never going to use this makeup.

It's a collector's item.

Yeah.

Do you think your love of makeup and collecting vintage items...

is also a bit of an ode to the fact that you're a model, that you love beauty, or is it more just about, like you said, it's because when you were a child, you couldn't really afford it, and now you can, you can buy it.

What do you think is the real connection to buying these vintage pieces?

monetary value and we're worried about opening them and them using like losing their value but actually you can just enjoy them because you like them it's one of those things isn't it i think when you are a collector yeah of things um i think it's important that you display them and you enjoy those things yeah and obviously the more that they're untouched the more value they hold yeah but i think is there a way that you can take out the makeup and you can create a glass cabinet and you can display the makeup beautifully did your parents collect stuff

Was your father quite militant in his approach to how the house was run?

Yeah.

You know, down the tip all the time, everything.

But I suppose that's also, you know, it's been ingrained in him that that constant moving, we could be going at any time.
