I never feel like my shoes match my clothes. I have no idea why.

A Sol Calero painting from Laura Bartlett Gallery and a Celia Hampton print from Studio Voltaire – they do the most brilliant editions. I am running out of wall space so I tend to hang new pieces wherever they will fit.

I actually just saw the Guerrilla Girls’ new commission for the Whitechapel Gallery. It was a horrific reminder of the real lack of diversity in museums and galleries, communicated in a really engaging, witty and rousing way.

Cuddle the cat, and pour a glass of wine or a cup of tea, depending how manic my day was.

The book focuses on fashion’s most intriguing and fruitful creative relationships – including Marc Jacobs and Katie Grand, Viktor & Rolf, Inez and Vinoodh, Rick Owens and Michele Lamy. It features interviews with pairs from all across the industry and visuals that show their working process and the results of the partnerships. There’s lots of ephemera in there – unseen letters, sketches, souvenirs and that kind of thing.

I think it has made me worry less, probably the opposite of what you’d expect! I am very low key: jeans, sweaters, men’s tailoring, trainers, and lots of black.

My favourite book is Donna Tartt The Secret History, which is a huge cliche as it’s a favourite for so many people, but my copy of that is pretty special. I read it when I was 19 and mid way through university and it summed up so much about youth and friendship to me. I also love photography books – Robert Longo’s Men In The Cities is a current favourite.

North will open on January 6th at Open Eye Gallery in Liverpool. It focuses on the influence of the North of England on contemporary fashion and the way images and ideals of the region are constructed through select collections, photographs and artworks. My parents are from the North, so it’s a special topic for me.

I would love to interview Louis Theroux. I would ask him to marry me.

I’ve been a bit spoilt by how beautiful the SHOWstudio office is – all white with lots of daylight so I tend to gravitate towards spaces like that. If I’m having a bad case of writers’ block I head to the Rare Books and Music reading room in the British Library and that usually does the trick.

Aside from the exhibition and book, I plan on travelling more and ideally learning to cook. The former is likely, the latter almost definitely a pipe-dream.
