Those sleeves! Are you about to fly away?

Literally. I’m a huge fan of an all-black look. There’s so much you can do with it. And this has a lot of personality and is sheer and very witchy.

What draws you to witchy things?

Alexander McQueen loved to design for very powerful women, who can be seen as bold or dangerous. And that defines a lot of the things that attract me. But I’m not a witch.

Tell me about your black jeans.

I’m not actually a huge jean fan. I don’t own that many. But you need a pair of black jeans. It can be the foundation of a great outfit. Like the way you need a little black dress.

What’s the attraction to an all-black outfit?

Monochrome you can either do very well or it can be very boring. To be able to communicate your identity through a black palette is pretty incredible.
