ICON: Kel, This is England...

"you can be my punk rock princess"



That baby pink mixed with the tough skinhead edge is my favourite fashion/beauty combo. It's a really feminine girl with a huge bad-ass tattoo, or a wearing a floaty dress and big biker boots. It's why I used to have my septum pierced - the contrast of traditional femininity with masculinity absolutely fascinates me.

And so, androgyny is a key trend for AW11. I think it's quite hard to do unless you look a bit like Katie Sketch, Agathe Mougin or Shane from the L-Word. I'll be working the trend by keeping skin matte, with pale lips and graphic eyeliner. Brows will be upswept and thick. Hair will be up in a Dalston topknot. Job done.
