Well, it goes back a long way.

My mum and my granny in the village I grew up in owned a dress shop.

That was like our sort of our family thing, our lifeblood always.

And my mum's a total badass, by the way.

She like really hustled that company out of the ground into something really quite successful now.

They've done really well.

But I spent all of my days in there as a kid.

Like I'd go there after school when my mum couldn't afford childcare and I'd be like,

playing with offcuts of tulle and things and making these stupid dresses for my Barbies and things like that.

And I have always lived a little bit in La La Land with clothes.

I mean, any picture of me as a child, you can see it there.

I refused to wear jeans as a child.

I hated them.

I would not let my mum put me in a two-piece outfit of any sort.

Every single thing I wore...

looked like it should be on Wendy from Peter Pan.

It was like bows.

And like when I was younger, I went on this school trip to Isle of Wight and my mum had packed all of my Wendy nighties and I kicked the fuck off because I was like, everyone's going to see these real granny nighties that I wear in secret.

And all these other kids have these little spaghetti strapped tops on.

I was like, oh my God.
