The whole village, actually, the weekend before the panto, every year without fail, would get together in my school and everyone would paint these backboards for the set and the whole village would chip in.

And actually, that is something I'm trying not to, like, talk too much about what I'm about to be doing this week because it's, like, in the forefront of my mind.

And I always think it's amazing to see different areas of creative art crossing over.

And that, in my opinion, is a great example of that.

It's,

It's taking fashion and it's putting it in a visual place.

And I think the V&A is somewhere that does that frequently and it's brilliant.

I would say the thing that probably made me keep coming back and similarly with the National Portrait Gallery and like even, I know it's a museum, but like the Natural History Museum, all of those spaces, when I first went in them, I was like, this is incredible.
