FROM THE VOLT (WINTER 2010)
NAME: Katy England
OCCUPATION: Stylist
STAR SIGN: Gemini
FIRST JOB: Waitress
WORST JOB: I have an awful memory… so I normally have to rely on
friends to remind me of the horrors we’ve been through in the name of fashion…The hardest show I ever did was a Givenchy Haute Couture show called the ‘Mad Scientist’…each of the 50 girls had different hair, make-up and nails and as well as co-ordinating, styling and fitting all that I was casting and booking the girls too……!
WHAT ARE YOU WEARING (ON THE DAY YOUR PORTRAIT WAS TAKEN)? Balenciaga trench, Kate Moss for Top Shop panther t.shirt and prototype jeans (not in production)..Westwood boots.
WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT? Well if I was going on mastermind my chosen subject would be history of fashion…anything other subjects I can only scratch the surface.
WHO ARE YOUR LITERARY HEROES? As if I’ve got time to fucking read.
FAVOURITE FILMS? ‘A Woman Under The Influence’… John Cassavetes, ‘When You’re Strange’…..the Doors movie by Tom Dicillo.. ‘Meet The Fockers’
and I love the new Runaways Movie.
DO YOU COLLECT ANYTHING? No surprises here I do have a lot of clothes.
WHY DO YOU DO WHAT YOU DO? I love it, it’s in the blood and I’m good at it.
DO YOU HAVE A VICE? What is it? Since I don’t smoke and drink only in moderation!! I’d have to say swearing… not very lady like.
ARE YOU A REBEL? What’s your most rebellious moment? I’ve always followed my desires and stuck to my true self without being influenced by other people. My most rebellious moment is unprintable.
WHAT DID YOU WANT TO BE WHEN YOU WERE GROWING UP? Fashion, fashion, fashion.
DO YOU HAVE ANY TIPS FOR MAKING IT IN THE BIG BAD WORLD? No it seems any fool can make it these days.
WHAT’S NEXT? Watch this space.
