Who is your fashion icon? Well, today David Bowie, because I like — look at these pants. What is your current favourite item of clothing? It changes so often, I do a lot of, like, thrift shopping, so I tend to encounter stuff and pile it all together. But today I would say this scarf is awesome

This H&M jacket.
