We are
taking a bit of a break from washing our hands to read our freshly
anti-bacterial wiped and then hand-dried subscriber’s issue of British Vogue this week. (Are you
exhausted yet? We are!) Never before have we needed to escape life and think
about, well, fashion. And not just any fashion. The type that knocks your Gucci socks off.
This month,
for the first time ever, Jodie Comer
has graced the cover of British Vogue.
Shot in New York with the wonder team of
Edward Enniful, Steven Meisel, Pat McGrath and Guido Paulo, we don’t think
we have seen our favourite native of Liverpool looking more stylish. We also
love that when Jodie did the BTS video
to go with the shoot, there was a hugely Scouse theme to it, including
hairdresser Patrick Wilson, who has
gone from sorting out highlights in Liverpool to assisting Sam McKnight at the Chanel Couture shows.
We’ve asked
our resident Roy Cropper-type member of Team
Fake Bake (there’s always one on every team is there not?) and she
estimates this is the first time that someone from Liverpool has been on the
cover and then been the featured interview inside. Feel free to fact check. And
we also love that Jodie didn’t do
the interview in a fancy gaff, but took Vogue
writer Giles Hattersley to Penny Lane for a roast dinner. You can take the
girl out of Liverpool….
So firstly
we just want to appreciate our three favourite looks…
The subscriber edition double denim
Balmain…
Monochrome Victoria Beckham is
everything…
Balenciaga beautiful in polka dots….
So we
thought we’d love to be inspired by these gorgeous shots, but as yet, none of
us on the team are quite ready for a spree that could pay for a car. So we asked
one of our fave stylists, Jess Walsh, who also happens to be from Liverpool, if
she could help us out.
Are you as Jodie obsessed as we are?
Absolutely!
I’m a similar age to Jodie and
everyone here is so proud of her, and that she has stayed so grounded. I love Killing Eve and the fashion on the show
is brilliantly experimental. It also shows the power a TV show can have on
style - who doesn’t have a pink dress after that famous Molly Goddard one in the first season? I’ve seen a few pics from
the new upcoming shows, and Villanelle looks as chic as ever!
As for Jodie herself, she’s very lucky that
she is so statuesque and so a lot of looks are going to suit here. And on the
red carpet next to legends like Nicole
Kidman and Jennifer Aniston, she clearly holds her own. She’s not afraid of
colour and prints and she doesn’t do overblown glamour. She gets the mix spot
on every time.
We want to emulate these looks - can
you help us out?
I’m lucky as
a stylist to work with lots of brands and companies and there is so much choice
right now. Plus, you can still pick up an absolute style steal.
This
supersoft denim shirt from boohoo is
perfect for the cover star finish - without the Balmain price tag!
These asos Sculpt Me jeans are really fitted
and give you that body contoured look, and they really do suit every shape.
For more of
an investment polka dot piece this puff sleeve blouse from & Other Stories is so versatile and you can wear it with
anything else in your wardrobe.
Team it with
this pretty Topshop midi skirt with
ruffle.
While it’s
still cold you can opt for these Charnos
soft opaque spotted tights - and as soon as you are ready you can get your legs
out, once you’ve got your Fake Bake on,
of course!
To finish
off the look these white River Island
skinny heel shoes and this Fashion Bible
at asos marketplace turban will have you good to go.
Thanks so much Jess - what’s next for
you?
I’m really
focusing on my work in the UK for the moment and I’m hoping to concentrate on
getting everyone ready for events as well as my usual photographic styling.
I’m hoping
to go to the Rideout Festival in
Croatia, and then it will be off to Ibiza
again for me - I was so busy there last year, and had a great time meeting Team Fake Bake, and I’m hoping this
season will be just as good. I’ll be posting regularly on my Styled By Jess feed to keep you
updated.
Well, we are
definitely going to be keeping an eye on Jess’s
socials, as she always puts together pieces that we want to adorn our
wardrobes with. And we are not sure she can top last year’s Ibiza season (she
ended up in a bath in Pikes with Lewis
Capaldi) but if anyone can, our Jess can.
Until then,
we are just hoping everyone out there stays safe, keep your gorgeous chins up
people, it’s time to concentrate on what matters, but always stay inspired and
positive.
And
perfectly accessorised. You know the drill.
