DANDY: That jacket is priceless. How beautiful! Not many stylist could afford that, but as far as I'm concerned, consider it bought. Any self-respecting fashionista would use his/her gift cards on that. Who is the designer, Katy?
KATY: I designed it myself.
DANDY: That's awesome. Northampton has talents! ..I love that necklace. Oh my! That's hot, so stunning..I'd rather have that gem instead of a ring. I love it from the first moment, I glimpsed it. Your sartorial taste is impeccable...tell me about that necklace, please.
KATY: It's from a brand called Bjorg and it has a rose gold nail that says "I can do anything"
DANDY: Brilliant. I love that..It's very inspiring. What's the story behind it?
KATY: I have a few of her necklaces with little quotes. They keep me motivated at univesity. My mum got me it for christmas.
DANDY: I love the rings also, please tell me about them
KATY: The silver branch ring is from one of my favourite jewellery designers; Shaun Leane. I just thought it was really unique and beautiful! And the other two are by Monica Vinader stacking rings and I chose them because of the rustic effect of the metal and the stones are so pretty!
DANDY: Wow! What can I say? You have fine tastes in jewellery. The collection is ah..AH..AMAZING. That means alot to me
.....
DANDY: Oh my gosh! I'm in love with that skirt. It's quite exquisite. Finally getting this, after waiting for it, must be a...climax. How would you describe your personal style?
KATY: I don't know...Like Alexa Chung. My look should make it clear that I made an effort, aesthetically-pleasing, yet casual..
DANDY: Her style is fine; so is yours...I'm obsessesd with that blouse. It's seriously, awesome. I'm in complete awe of its presence. I MUST have that! It would team, seamlessly, with chocolate, dinner and flowers...Incidentally, what will you be doing...at Men's Fashion Week today?
KATY: See the catwalks. Look at what others(fashionable attendees) are wearing; it's NICE to be with other fashion people
DANDY: Indeed! So what does fashion mean to you?
KATY: Oh God! I don't know...it's EVERYTHING; being yourself.
DANDY: I love ALL those cool elements; they make me happy. You are a true stylist, fashionista. Adorable styling. I LOVE that style.
