Why this designer's unconventional air travel outfit makes sense
This story is part of the May 18 edition of Sunday Life. See all 14 stories. Each week, we quiz a prominent person about their style and the inspiration behind it. Ahead, Romance Was Born co-founder Anna Plunkett. How would you describe your style? It's eclectic. I start with one thing I want to wear and work from that. I have a rule to wear one Romance [Was Born] thing a day. I love wearing colour and print, putting combinations together and mixing everything up. What's the oldest thing in your wardrobe? My nanna's engagement ring from the '40s. I wear it with rings of my mum's and auntie's. I'm sentimental; I love putting them on every day. And the most recent addition? A 1980s cropped black brocade jacket that Luke [Sales, Romance Was Born co-founder] gave me for Christmas. What would you wear … on a first date? A dress with an '80s YSL pump and vintage jewellery. …on a plane? I like to wear baggy, comfy, stretchy things. Luke laughs at me because sometimes I'll wear a black tulle fairy-looking dress. It's probably a bit dramatic, but it's oversized and cosy. … on the red carpet? I wear something from the new season and make a bit of a statement – it's what our brand does best. I'm a shy person, but I love dressing up – it makes me feel more confident. I'll wear hand-painted Giuseppe Zanotti pumps, or a satin pair from our collaboration with Ken Done and LMS. What's your favourite fashion era? I love 1980s Christian Lacroix. It was a fun moment when people didn't hold back – the high-voltage colour, the big shoulders with small hemlines. Any other designers you love? Jenny Kee and Linda Jackson. I have a massive collection of knits from Jenny and some of my favourite pieces are from Linda, including a red strapless taffeta dress. For my last birthday, Jenny gave me a Vivienne Westwood piece from the '80s. What's your fragrance of choice? I wear Chanel Les Exclusifs 'Sycomore'. And I like the Maison Margiela 'Replica' perfumes – my boyfriend recently gave me 'When the Rain Stops'. He said it reminded him of me.
