Andrea: I would still love to work in fashion but I think my emphasis now is more on lifestyle and branding.

Obviously if an offer came along I’d never turn it down! I actually just got an internship at my favourite commercial gallery though – The Opera Gallery on New Bond Street. They have lots of postmodern and contemporary work like Mauro Corda, Anish Kapoor, Banksy.https://www.ons.gov.uk/employmentandlabourmarket/peopleinwork/employmentandemployeetypes/bulletins/jobsandvacanciesintheuk/march2023

For inspiration I’ll think of a certain look I have in mind or a place I want to go to. I dress by association and I ask myself: what would I like to be seen wearing? I like it when there’s an element of surprise to what I’m wearing, a surprise to my look.

The answers are hung up on rails and folded in the drawers of our homes right now. As the creator of the Mindful Monday Method and the author of Why Don’t I Have Anything to Wear?, I’d suggest you ask yourself these questions to help you shop smarter and spend less.

The collection featured a t-shirt, notepad, fabric calendar as well as limited ice-cream flavours, Yuzu Mint and Kombucha Oolong.
