1. The last item you would give away and why?

My Freya Simonne dress, which has a matching one for my daughter. It holds lots of special memories.

2. Favourite place in the world? 

I have a few, but I would probably have to say the mountains, especially during winter, in France or Italy.

3. Silk, cotton, or cashmere and why? 

Cashmere – super cosy, and as long as the animal is treated correctly, it’s not too resource-intensive.

4. Best book ever? 

I actually can’t remember the last full book I read. I am currently reading The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron, which is really interesting and inspiring.

5. What is the soundtrack to your life? 

My wedding dancefloor playlist from when we got married earlier this year. I play it on repeat—it’s a good mix of soul, 90s music, and more contemporary stuff too.

6. A quote to change your life? 

“We are the first generation to know about climate change and the last to be able to do something about it,” Barack Obama.

7. One thing you wish you’d learned at school, or the one thing you learned in school that you couldn’t live without? 

My creativity and sewing!

8. Who would you want to be stuck in a lift with? 

David Attenborough, or Queen Elizabeth, had she still been alive. I love her.

9. If you had the power to change anything you wanted in the world, what would it be? 

Peace and understanding between all, and not being driven by money.

10. Three things your friends would say about you? 

Funny, caring, and thoughtful.

11. Your three favourite fabrics:

Vintage fabrics are my absolute favourite. I adore the cutwork and embroidery from the Victorian era.
