In our very first instalment we catch up with Fiona Short AKA 'Weird Model Face' Depop enthusiast, 90s Style rejuvenator and all around Cool girl !

**muse ;** (mjuːz/)

A woman, or a force personified as a woman, who is the source of inspiration for a creative artist (.. or in our case a Group.. Team VULGAR x).

Peckham based Weird Model face has been creeping up on our radar for sometime now with her punchy insta imagery, dreamy Depop finds and 90s swayed style ! When she agreed to spend the day hanging out with us lot at VULGAR HQ, we were way too excited to say the least !

Where do you find your fashion inspiration ?

err.. Mainly from my friends I suppose.. and off instagram, every time I'm with someone my style will change, like from today I will take something and my style will change.

How would you describe your personal style ?

Hmmmmmmm.. [long pause] Not Bold.. Bright ? Furry ? I dunno, how would you describe your personal style ?! [laughs] Lets say 90's with a Bit of Glamour !

Fave go-to outfit ?

High waisted Mom jeans and a really comfy top.. just something really easy.

Ultimate style Icons ?

Oooohh I don't know I could say loads of people, I think they change everyday, I just have to go through my instagram, [gets iPhone out] I like grungy but effortless, you know like Kate Moss, I like 90's Liv Tyler, 90's Winona Ryder.. also a weird reference but do you remember Betty Spaghetti dolls ? Ha Ha, Brigitte Bardot.. Kurt Cobain and not really fashion but Keith Haring for the colours and style.

Buying and Selling Clothes!

Yes. Definitely just being involved with clothes cos that's what I love, it's just fun !

What's your current 9 to 5 ?

DEPOP !

Cool, so how did you get into that ?

I had my year out and I had loads of stuff I needed to sell, I went on Depop and it started to get popular so I decided to put a little more effort into it.

You meet loads of people, it's fun and you end up finding loads of really cool Stuff !

SHEFFIELD !

3 Albums on a desert island which you gonna pick ?

Some NWA [laughs] ..probably some Madonna, I mean you've got to get some mixture in there you're gonna have to listen to this stuff.. [Pause] Patti Smith.. Tame impala [Chants in unison] "Shaking his big grey trunk for the hell of it"..

Eye liner or Lipstick ?

Lipstick.

Fave Snack?

That's a hard one.. avocado on toast !

Cats cos i've never had a dog, Cats are Chill.

Sneakers.

Any in Particular ?

I'd say Reebok's, cos thats what I have now.

Lets talk Vintage era's...

30's, 40's, 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's and Noughties. Which are your faves ?

I'd say 70's / 90's.. A mixture of that. I used to like the 60's a lot, but Ive kinda gone out of that. Early 2000's too.

What is it that you like about those ?

Suede, Browney / Orange stripey little tops, like, I dunno, I like the short little 70's hair cuts. 90's Chokers, spaghetti strips, weird sunnies, double denim.. But I suppose thats more 2000's. Id say Im probably more 2000's actually. Camo, Gwen Stefani.

Whats your best ever Vintage-find ?

I wouldn't say its Vintage, but its this; Bright purple, metallic puffa coat. [She pulls the most dreamy coat out of her bag.. a purple Lame Puffa jacket by Gant with a Lustrous Purple Fur Collar] Yeah this..

Any lucky vintage hand me downs you think we need to hear about ?

I'd say jewellery from my Dad.

Anything in particular ?

Theres this really nice Valentino necklace I... [Pauses] Stole from him!.. Well, he hasn't asked for it back [Smiles]. Its a really simple pendant with Valentino on it, Its kind of trashy, but it looks really good.
