Actress Christina Ricci, ELLE fashion director Anne-Marie Curtis, singer Róisín Murphy and fashion designer Katharine Hamnett all join Sevigny on the panel. Whatever your age, shape and personal style, these are rules worth remembering.
‘I used to try building outfits around one key piece, such as a great pair of shoes. I’d end up trying on a million things to go with them and still nothing would look right. I’ve learned to take a more flexible approach to getting dressed,’ reveals Chloe Sevigny, while actress Christina Ricci tells us, ‘Don’t be afraid to use distraction – if a look isn’t working as well as you hoped and you’re running out of time, compensate with fabulous make-up. A vivid slick of eye liner or nail polish work for me. Or reach for ridiculously huge sunglasses – that old standby saves us all.’
