The simple (and free) three-second hack that instantly lifts any outfit
Can you remember a favourite outfit from when you were a child? I had lots of hand-smocked dresses in Liberty prints and one with fluorescent pink and turquoise daisies that was very '60s. My parents' house burnt down in the Ash Wednesday bushfires in 1983, and nothing survived. However, because my dresses had been passed down to other children in the family, I eventually got that floral dress back and all my girls wore it.
What was your first fashion moment? As a kid, I thought it was ridiculous that everyone dressed the same. When I was 13, I would wear a Jag denim dress and denim knee-high boots, or a navy paisley dress with a pussy bow and navy velvet blazer from Maria Finlay in Double Bay [Sydney]. All my friends were wearing Levi's cords and T-shirts.
And your worst fashion mistake? I was invited to a party once, and I was misled that it was fancy dress. It wasn't. My friend and I arrived dressed as aliens, with silver face make-up and everything. So embarrassing.

What's on your fashion wish list? A layered, pleated Bottega Veneta midi skirt, and the Khaite 'Crosby' tote in Espresso.
Is there something you'd never wear? So much. I find the Desigual printed stuff particularly offensive.
Is there a current trend you like? I like a popped collar. And forearms, I love pushing sleeves up – on myself and other people. And I like burgundy; it feels like this season's neutral.
What shoes do you wear the most often? Puma 'Speedcat' sneakers and Celine T-bar-strap kitten heels.
