Designer Effie Kats shares her fashion favourites
This story is part of the June 29 edition of Sunday Life. Each week, we quiz a prominent person about their style and the inspiration behind it. Ahead, designer Effie Kats. The designer's signature scent is 'Jazz Club' by Maison Margiela Replic. How would you describe your style? There's a duality. During the day I keep it simple with clean silhouettes and some subtle structure; at night my look becomes softer and more intuitive with a hint of drama. I predominantly wear my own labels. Effie Kats is evening wear and Bayse Brand is more casual, so I'm covered. What's the oldest thing in your wardrobe? A Chanel belt – the classic gold chain with black leather woven through it and a gold medallion – from the 1980s. And the most recent addition? The 'Boat' bag from Korean label OSOI. I like supporting smaller independent brands, it feels more personal, less about trends and more about unique design.

Designer Effie Kats had a ‘brave' fashion moment which she now regrets

I like supporting smaller independent brands, it feels more personal, less about trends and more about unique design. What would you wear … on a first date? My go-to is the classic 'jeans and a nice top' formula – maybe the Bayse Brand 'Amrita' bodysuit – with a pair of Paris Texas 'Lidia' mules. … on a plane? Loose jeans, an oversized tee, sports jacket, loafers and my The Row 'Margaux' suede bag. … on the red carpet? I like a timeless silhouette with sharp styling. Selena Gomez and Elsa Hosk do it best. What's your favourite fashion era? When Tom Ford was at Gucci (1994 – 2004). I love the simplicity, the confidence, the sex appeal; it defined the '90s in such a powerful way, and it still resonates today. It had a big impact on me as a designer. Who are your favourite designers? Tom Ford, always. More recently, Pierpaolo Piccioli at Valentino. There's something powerful in his pared back and elegant designs – the palettes were muted, the silhouettes minimal but the overall impact was so bold. I'm excited to see what he brings to Balenciaga.
