Pixie Lott for Vogue Italia
Pixie Lott
The glamorous singer loves 60's fashion and clothing; her tip is: "Don't be afraid to be bold and true to yourself"
"Don't be afraid to take risks and be yourself. Find your own style"
Great Britain is the birthplace of many pop stars, but over the last few years it has given the world of music an impressive number of singers with a strong personality – just think of Amy Winehouse and Lily Allen, Adele and Florence Welch.
Among them there's Pixie Lott – unique voice and a passion for music from the past.
"I've always loved 60s fashion, so I love Edie Sedgwick, and I love Brigitte Bardot. I love all that kind of stuff. I love the Hollywood icons like Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn," she explains, talking of her style icons. Singer and songwriter, Pixie is working on her third studio album, which she wants to give a "soul Motown style." Here it is again, the fascination with the past, seen through a contemporary point of view, serving as a bridge to the future.
Her public style has elements of glamour from the past, and the same can be said for her private style (she wears "specs and leopard-print pjs!"). Her outfits, which include vintage clothes and modern pieces, are fresh and original: they have a certain charming naïvety, another detail reminiscent of the 60s.
Fan of accessories and jewelry, she lists Dolce & Gabbana, Chanel, Fendi, Moschino, Miu Miu, Versace, Christopher Kane and Simone Rocha among her favorite designers. Her favorite dress? The one she designed with Kate Halfpenny for the Brit Awards in 2009 – lace bodice and ballerina skirt. She wears heels only in the evening and has a soft spot for flats, such as the loafers by Penelope Chilvers (she owns a pair with her initials on it).
"Remembering random things, falling asleep anywhere and smiling" are some of her good habits; in addition to that, she's very committed to projects supporting poor and abused children, like Keeping Britain Smiling, organized by Colgate and the charity Barnardo's.
Her positivity becomes wisdom when she explains the origin of her motto, "a saying that my father has always said from a very young age to me, which is: 'Fail to prepare, prepare to fail'." Judging from the goals she's achieved so far, her dad's advice really works!
