Edie Campbell reveals her style heroes

OHMYGOSSIP — Model Edie Campbell may be known for her boyish Sixties look, but her style is inspired by more unexpected references, Vogue mediates.

“Sometimes I wake up and think, ‘I want to look like Sherlock Holmes today,’ and other times I want to look like a witch from Macbeth,” she told us. “Otherwise, I like what Tilda Swinton wears. Kristen Stewart always looks good – she wears what she wants. It’s the same with Alison Mosshart – she chooses clothes that she loves rather than what she thinks she should wear.”

The British model – who landed her debut Vogue cover for this month’s April issue – has a relaxed approach to dressing up.

“When I was 17, I used to really think about what I wore every day,” she said. “But now I spend my life being dressed up, I don’t always have the energy for it when I’m not working. Now I think to myself, ‘Do I look like a total moron?’ If it’s a no, then fine. At London Fashion Week, I wore a lot of trackies – practicality is important.”

She does, however, have a fashion vice – eBay.

“I have a terrible habit of shopping after I go to the gym of hitting eBay,” she said. “The other week though, I was in Covent Garden post-gym and ended up in this fetish shop and bought a latex polo neck. I remember walking out with my shopping bag after I’d bought it thinking, ‘What am I doing? This is mad.'”
