Fashion Q&A: Lisa Faulkner, actor and celebrity chef


LISA Faulkner on why she embraces the rain and why Kate Moss has great style
What’s the last piece of clothing you bought?
A Burberry mac, and I love it. I’m glad for a little rain because I get to show it off.
What are you addicted to buying?
Handbags.
Best ever bargain?
I once bought a Matthew Williamson dress half price from Bicester Village. I saw the price tag and nearly fell over. I have worn it so many times now – I’ve definitely got my money’s worth.
Who has great style?
Kate Moss. Since the beginning of her career to now, she just has it.
Name your favourite high street shop.
Topshop. I love to browse the rails in there. It’s one of those stores where I can go in and know I will always leave with something (sometimes a little too much!).
Any fashion disasters you’d care to tell us about?
I am sure in my teenage years there may have been a few fairly disastrous outfits but I generally don’t have them. I’m normally a jeans and a top type of person – maybe if I was more adventurous with my wardrobe there might be more but for now, I’ll stick to what works for me!
What’s your favourite item in your wardrobe?
Without a doubt, it’s my Topshop jeans. I always get my jeans from Topshop – they fit perfectly and are super comfy!
