The musician on the influence of Ian Dury, wearing clothes when she's sad, and her Pinocchio-print shoes falling in the water
1) You pick up influences all your life, although you don't really realise it. I was a big Ian Dury fan when I was younger. His style inspired me ? all those colours were great, but it was much more than that.
2) Clothes don't reflect my mood. If I'm feeling sad I'll wear something really sunny. I find touring inspiring, and I like to dress up for shows, but I just wear whatever on the bus.
3) I don't know much about fashion; I just wear what I like. My style could be described as very English. I look ridiculous in anything too girly or frilly. I'm really loving Rag & Bone, and my friend has just started a label called A. Sauvage, which is great.
4) I don't have any treasured possessions. I had a pair of Pinocchio-print shoes when I was six. I was at Disneyland Paris, on a ride, and they fell off and into the water. That was upsetting, but you move on.
5) Shopping is really stressful. I can't do it. If I have to, I buy vintage because it's cheaper and cosier. And I've never bought anything online, as I haven't gotten to grips with it.
