-Julie Howatson-Broster

-owns a beauty salon in Denbigh.

0:00:440:00:48

-What better way to start the day

-than with a manicure?

0:00:480:00:52

-I love clothes.

0:00:540:00:55

-Clothes are my life.

0:00:550:00:57

-That's a very sad confession

-to make!

0:00:570:01:00

-Julie has always loved clothes

-and constantly changes her style.

0:01:050:01:11

-She enjoys reinventing herself.

0:01:120:01:14

-Where does it stem from, Julie?

0:01:160:01:18

-Did you inherit it from somewhere?

0:01:180:01:21

-Did you inherit it from somewhere?

-

-From my mother, probably.

0:01:210:01:22

-She made a lot of her own clothes

-in the early 1970s.

0:01:230:01:26

-A lot of people made

-their own clothes in those days.

0:01:260:01:30

-My brother and I

-tended to wear the same clothes.

0:01:300:01:34

-Well, no, he didn't wear dresses

-but the colours were similar.

0:01:340:01:38

-There are photos of us

-wearing co-ordinating colours.

0:01:390:01:43

-Very cute!

0:01:430:01:44

-What about your schooldays?

0:01:440:01:47

-I wasn't too bad,

-when I was a schoolgirl.

0:01:480:01:51

-I went through a phase when

-I didn't really care about clothes.

0:01:510:01:56

-That changed when I left school.

0:01:560:01:58

-How did those changes come about?

0:01:590:02:01

-I left school to follow

-a beauty therapy course at college.

0:02:020:02:06

-I realised I had to start

-taking care of my appearance.

0:02:060:02:10

-My boyfriend, who became

-my husband, moved to Brighton.

0:02:100:02:14

-I visited him every fortnight

-and we went clubbing in Brighton.

0:02:150:02:19

-That's when I became

-interested in fashion.

0:02:200:02:22

-The club scene there was fantastic.

0:02:230:02:26

-What did you wear?

0:02:260:02:28

-I tended to make more of an effort,

-as the Welsh girl in Brighton.

0:02:280:02:32

-I tended to think

-about the clothes I wore.

0:02:320:02:35

-Kilts were in at the time.

0:02:380:02:39

-The punk scene.

0:02:400:02:41

-I wore fishnets,

-jackboots and a kilt.

0:02:420:02:45

-I wanted to stand out

-from the crowd.

0:02:450:02:47

-Julie's business

-is close to her home in Denbigh...

0:02:520:02:56

-..so she's never far away

-from her wardrobes.

0:02:560:02:59

-These are great.

0:03:040:03:05

-Did you do this yourself?

0:03:050:03:07

-Did you do this yourself?

-

-Yes. They're quite nice.

0:03:070:03:09

-My husband doesn't agree...

0:03:090:03:11

-..even though he now

-sleeps with five women, not just me!

0:03:110:03:15

-He should be chuffed.

0:03:150:03:16

-He should be chuffed.

-

-They don't do much, though.

0:03:160:03:18

-Where shall we start?

0:03:190:03:21

-Where shall we start?

-

-Let's start here.

0:03:210:03:22

-A few items in here

-mean a lot to me.

0:03:240:03:26

-This has sentimental value,

-even though I hate it!

0:03:270:03:31

-You hate your wedding dress!

0:03:310:03:33

-I wore it ten years ago

-and it's so fussy.

0:03:330:03:36

-I'm glad

-I didn't go for a meringue.

0:03:360:03:39

-At least it's straight,

-which suits me because I'm tall.

0:03:390:03:43

-It's just far too fussy.

0:03:440:03:46

-This is very sentimental.

0:03:490:03:51

-It belonged to my mother.

0:03:510:03:53

-A typical 1960s coat.

0:03:530:03:55

-Is it a vintage dress too?

0:03:550:03:57

-Is it a vintage dress too?

-

-No, a friend of mine made it.

0:03:570:03:59

-I bought the beads

-in a second-hand store.

0:03:590:04:02

-I wore this dress,

-when I was a child.

0:04:170:04:20

-These were my first shoes.

0:04:220:04:24

-I only have one -

-its partner must have walked away!

0:04:240:04:28

-This is my son's first shoe.

0:04:280:04:31

-Your shoe and your son's shoe

-are very similar.

0:04:320:04:36

-I want you to show you

-one more item in this wardrobe.

0:04:380:04:42

-This.

0:04:420:04:43

-A real bargain.

0:04:430:04:45

-I only paid five pounds for it.

0:04:470:04:49

-People have stopped me in the street

-asking where I got it.

0:04:490:04:54

-Do you tell them it cost a fiver?

0:04:540:04:55

-Do you tell them it cost a fiver?

-

-No, I say it's an Armani.

0:04:550:04:57

-I wear colourful evening dresses

-because they catch the light.

0:05:030:05:07

-Lighting is great at night.

0:05:080:05:10

-Look at all that material!

0:05:150:05:17

-Yes and look at all the textures.

0:05:170:05:21

-This is lovely!

0:05:240:05:26

-Yes, it is nice.

0:05:260:05:28

-Satin and so tiny!

0:05:300:05:32

-Yes, considering its price tag.

0:05:320:05:34

-The smallest item in the wardrobe

-was also the most expensive.

0:05:340:05:39

-Isn't that terrible?

0:05:390:05:40

-Isn't that terrible?

-

-No, it's fine.

0:05:400:05:42

-It's great with long boots,

-for the men.

0:05:420:05:45

-I hope my husband likes it!

0:05:470:05:49

-It's great. It's like a corset.

0:05:490:05:51

-It pulls you in.

0:05:520:05:53

-Zip it up and your tummy is flat.

-It's fantastic!

0:05:530:05:57

-I think

-that's why it was so expensive.

0:05:570:06:00

-What do we have

-in the next wardrobe?

0:06:000:06:03

-Wow!

0:06:040:06:05

-These are fantastic.

-They're very comfortable.

0:06:110:06:14

-Are they new?

0:06:140:06:16

-Are they new?

-

-Yes.

0:06:160:06:17

-I wore these

-with one of those shirts...

0:06:240:06:26

-..and my granny said,

-"Julie, you look like my mother."

0:06:270:06:31

-I thought, "Oh, gosh!"

0:06:310:06:33

-She told me not to take offence.

0:06:330:06:35

-She remembers her mother wearing

-high collars and boots like these.

0:06:360:06:41

-Cute!

0:06:410:06:42

-Isn't that fantastic?

0:06:450:06:46

-I stayed at the Sanderson Hotel,

-London last year...

0:06:470:06:50

-..and they had a sofa

-shaped like this.

0:06:500:06:53

-I walked in clutching this bag.

0:06:530:06:56

-It was funny.

0:06:560:06:58

-The staff noticed

-that my bag matched the furniture!

0:06:580:07:01

-It was hilarious.

0:07:020:07:03

-You must get one of those sofas.

0:07:040:07:06

-It's Kookai. It wasn't expensive.

0:07:060:07:08

-Crazy.

0:07:090:07:10

-Your clothes are colourful.

-Do they reflect your personality?

0:07:130:07:19

-Yes, I hope so.

0:07:200:07:22

-I think it's a crazy wardrobe!

0:07:230:07:25

-Would you describe yourself

-as crazy?

0:07:260:07:28

-Yes.

0:07:290:07:30

-Crazy and proud of it.

0:07:300:07:31

-Crazy and proud of it.

-

-Absolutely.

0:07:310:07:33

-What will happen next?

-Your wardrobes are full.

0:07:330:07:37

-Do you have another wardrobe

-waiting to be filled?

0:07:370:07:41

-No. I think Dad

-will have to build me a new house!

0:07:420:07:45

-A new house

-with built-in wardrobes.

0:07:460:07:49

-You'll keep buying clothes?

0:07:510:07:52

-You'll keep buying clothes?

-

-Yes. Perhaps I'll cut down a bit.

0:07:520:07:54

-Dad always tells me

-to pay off my mortgage.

0:07:540:07:57

-My father is a very sensible man,

-unlike his daughter!

0:07:580:08:01

-You're not likely to be sensible?

0:08:020:08:05

-You're not likely to be sensible?

-

-No. Sorry, Dad!

0:08:050:08:06

-I've never

-liked to be part of the crowd.

0:08:340:08:37

-I like being different.

0:08:380:08:40

-Arwel Wyn Jones is

-a film and television art director.

0:08:410:08:45

-His recent credits include Dr Who.

0:08:450:08:48

-His wardrobe is unique.

0:08:480:08:50

-You grew up in Llandwrog.

0:08:510:08:53

-When did you first

-take an interest in fashion?

0:08:530:08:57

-I don't know when it started...

0:08:570:08:59

-..but I do know

-I caused my mother endless trouble.

0:08:590:09:03

-Most lads my age were into football

-and they wore Pringle jumpers.

0:09:040:09:09

-They wore old men's clothes,

-rather than fashionable clothes.

0:09:110:09:15

-I wore a lot of black.

0:09:160:09:17

-I would wear my granddad's

-old coats and waistcoats.

0:09:180:09:21

-Anything that was

-out of the ordinary.

0:09:220:09:24

-I didn't want to be

-part of the big, boring crowd.

0:09:250:09:28

-What influenced you?

0:09:280:09:30

-Film stars? Music?

0:09:300:09:32

-Who are your heroes?

0:09:330:09:35

-I'm not sure.

0:09:350:09:36

-Film has had an influence

-on my whole life.

0:09:370:09:40

-I've loved films

-since I was a child.

0:09:400:09:42

-That's why I do what I do.

0:09:460:09:47

-The films I loved as a child

-had a massive impact on me...

0:09:480:09:52

-..as you'll soon discover.

0:09:520:09:54

-Film definitely influenced

-my choice of clothes.

0:09:540:09:58

-I own a few items that you won't

-find in anyone else's wardrobe...

0:09:580:10:03

-..unless they're into

-the same films as me.

0:10:030:10:06

-The best thing about this shirt

-is where it was bought.

0:10:140:10:18

-I found it in a gift shop

-at Euro Disney.

0:10:180:10:22

-I'd always wanted to own a shirt

-like that, so I snapped it up.

0:10:220:10:26

-It's perfect.

0:10:270:10:28

-The cuffs tie, like so.

0:10:310:10:33

-Do you have trousers

-to go with this shirt?

0:10:330:10:36

-I had the trousers

-before I found the shirt.

0:10:360:10:39

-If you want to go the whole hog,

-you need leather trousers.

0:10:410:10:46

-Do you open them a little

-and show some leg?

0:10:470:10:50

-No, I'd never do that.

0:10:500:10:51

-Let's take these off the hanger.

0:10:520:10:55

-They're pretty special.

0:10:550:10:57

-I rarely wear them these days.

0:10:570:10:59

-I think

-I've probably outgrown them.

0:11:000:11:03

-Outgrown them

-physically or style-wise?

0:11:040:11:07

-A bit of both, perhaps!

0:11:070:11:09

-These aren't trousers

-for a shrinking violet, Arwel!

0:11:090:11:13

-I bought that in a second-hand shop.

0:11:220:11:24

-I still buy things

-in second-hand shops.

0:11:250:11:27

-I found it in a 1970s shop

-in Newport.

0:11:280:11:30

-It's quite unusual.

0:11:300:11:32

-Do you like the idea of wearing

-something someone else has worn?

0:11:320:11:37

-I don't really think about it.

0:11:370:11:39

-If saw that shirt and I liked it.

0:11:390:11:41

-It's unique.

0:11:420:11:43

-I've washed it!

0:11:450:11:46

-This is my oldest shirt.

0:12:040:12:06

-It's my old school shirt.

0:12:060:12:08

-You kept a school shirt?

0:12:080:12:09

-You kept a school shirt?

-

-Yes and it still fits me!

0:12:090:12:11

-It's old, so it's more

-of a work shirt than anything else.

0:12:110:12:16

-This is velvet.

0:12:190:12:21

-You're fond of texture.

0:12:220:12:24

-Yes - any excuse to have women

-want to stroke me, like a cat!

0:12:240:12:28

-I was about to ask you

-if people stroke you.

0:12:290:12:32

-I really wanted a leather,

-biker jacket for years.

0:12:480:12:51

-That's what my parents gave me

-on my 18th birthday.

0:12:520:12:56

-I wore it until it fell apart.

0:12:560:12:58

-Day in, day out, for every occasion.

0:12:590:13:01

-Someone stole it

-and that's a real shame.

0:13:020:13:05

-If that jacket could talk,

-it would tell my life story!

0:13:050:13:09

-Arwel still likes leather.

0:13:100:13:12

-This coat wasn't used but

-it was bought for the Dr Who series.

0:13:120:13:16

-I bought it for a knockdown price.

0:13:170:13:19

-It looks like

-something from the Matrix.

0:13:220:13:25

-This is the Matrix coat.

0:13:260:13:28

-This was my Christmas present,

-two years ago.

0:13:300:13:33

-My girlfriend

-was working in Morocco...

0:13:340:13:37

-..and she went to a shop,

-where they make things from scratch.

0:13:370:13:41

-She found a man in the market

-who was the same size as me...

0:13:430:13:47

-..and dragged him in there

-for three fittings!

0:13:470:13:50

-Does it fit perfectly?

0:13:500:13:52

-Does it fit perfectly?

-

-Almost.

0:13:520:13:54

-He must be slightly taller than me

-because it's a touch too long.

0:13:540:13:58

-You need a pair of Cuban heels.

0:13:590:14:01

-I can't help but notice

-this collection.

0:14:100:14:13

-Arwel, this is great!

0:14:150:14:18

-I've always

-had a weakness for watches.

0:14:180:14:22

-Is this a family watch?

0:14:220:14:23

-Is this a family watch?

-

-Yes, it belonged to my great-uncle.

0:14:230:14:26

-It once belonged to a ship's captain

-who lived in Llandwrog.

0:14:260:14:31

-As you can see,

-it's worn almost right through.

0:14:310:14:34

-The chain damaged the ring.

0:14:350:14:36

-I like items

-with a history behind them.

0:14:370:14:39

-Do you wear it?

0:14:400:14:41

-Do you wear it?

-

-No, I wouldn't do that.

0:14:410:14:43

-It's too much of a risk.

0:14:430:14:44

-From your teenage years to your

-mid-20s, you try to find yourself.

0:14:490:14:55

-What you wear is an integral part

-of your voyage of self-discovery.

0:14:580:15:03

-I think

-I'm closer to finding myself.

0:15:050:15:08

-I buy new outfits and ring

-the changes from time to time...

0:15:080:15:12

-..but generally

-I stick to my basic style.

0:15:310:15:33

-Megan Williams is a dressmaker...

0:15:370:15:40

-..and that influences

-every item in her wardrobe.

0:15:400:15:44

-I live and breathe sewing

-and sewing keeps me alive.

0:15:440:15:48

-I sleep and eat sewing.

-I really do enjoy it.

0:15:490:15:52

-My mother was interested in it.

0:16:100:16:13

-She wasn't an educated woman.

-She stayed home on the farm.

0:16:130:16:17

-She always helped me

-with knitting and sewing projects.

0:16:170:16:22

-She'd make alterations to clothes

-and make garments from old clothes.

0:16:220:16:27

-I saw this

-and it sparked an interest in me.

0:16:270:16:30

-I left school at 16 and I decided

-to pursue a career in dressmaking.

0:16:310:16:35

-I took up an apprenticeship.

0:16:350:16:37

-I wanted to learn to make clothes

-the old-fashioned way.

0:16:380:16:42

-What was the first item of clothing

-you made?

0:16:450:16:48

-It was a skirt.

0:16:490:16:50

-Just a simple skirt.

0:16:510:16:52

-I thought the world of it.

0:16:550:16:56

-I was as proud as punch

-because I'd made it myself.

0:16:570:17:00

-I then moved up a gear

-and made a blouse.

0:17:000:17:03

-I had to make a sleeve and a collar.

0:17:030:17:06

-I then graduated

-to making a dress.

0:17:060:17:08

-Megan is a first class dressmaker.

0:17:110:17:13

-She's won many competitions

-and awards for her work.

0:17:140:17:18

-She's one of Britain's

-leading dressmakers.

0:17:190:17:22

-These are some of the clothes

-in my wardrobe.

0:17:270:17:31

-I've never worn them...

0:17:310:17:33

-..but I look after them

-and they mean the world to me.

0:17:330:17:37

-These are my prize-winning clothes.

0:17:370:17:40

-The standard of competition work

-must be spot-on.

0:17:470:17:51

-You make a special effort with every

-stitch to ensure a perfect finish.

0:17:520:17:58

-I'm very attached to the clothes

-I entered in competition.

0:17:580:18:03

-The quality of Megan's work...

0:18:060:18:08

-..means she's in demand

-as a wedding dress maker.

0:18:090:18:12

-There are two special

-wedding dresses in her wardrobe.

0:18:120:18:16

-These are

-my daughters' wedding dresses.

0:18:170:18:20

-Manon, my eldest daughter,

-wore this 15 years ago.

0:18:210:18:25

-The shoulders were padded,

-which was the fashion then.

0:18:270:18:31

-She also wore this handmade headband

-but modern brides wear tiaras.

0:18:330:18:38

-Something simpler, in essence.

0:18:390:18:42

-Loops and buttons are my trademark.

0:18:420:18:45

-I really like to see them

-on wedding dresses.

0:18:460:18:49

-Long sleeves, loops and buttons.

0:18:490:18:52

-Each button opens.

0:18:520:18:54

-Sioned, your other daughter,

-got married in this dress?

0:18:570:19:01

-Yes, this is Sioned's wedding dress.

0:19:010:19:04

-Sioned got married

-five years after Manon...

0:19:050:19:08

-..and this has a more tailored look.

0:19:090:19:12

-The back of the jacket

-is interesting.

0:19:130:19:16

-It's very important because

-the dress falls below it, in pleats.

0:19:160:19:22

-It's fortunate

-you have lots of wardrobes...

0:19:250:19:29

-..because your daughters

-left their dresses here!

0:19:290:19:33

-They know you'll look after them.

0:19:330:19:35

-They're happy their wedding dresses

-are in Mam's house.

0:19:350:19:39

-Do you make clothes for yourself?

0:19:470:19:49

-Yes. I wouldn't dream of going out

-and buying an item of clothing.

0:19:490:19:54

-I make everything.

0:19:540:19:56

-I'm short and I must

-choose my clothes carefully.

0:19:560:20:00

-Colours can cut me in half and

-my clothes must fit me really well.

0:20:010:20:06

-That's especially true

-when it comes to trousers.

0:20:080:20:11

-I doubt I'd be able to

-buy a pair of trousers to fit me.

0:20:110:20:15

-I save vast amounts of money

-by buying a metre of fabric...

0:20:150:20:19

-..to make my own clothes,

-rather than buy them.

0:20:200:20:24

-Do you buy material and keep it

-for a long time, before using it?

0:20:260:20:31

-Yes. I have a chest

-jam-packed with fabric.

0:20:310:20:35

-When I need something in a hurry,

-I dip into the chest.

0:20:360:20:40

-I find a suitable piece of fabric

-and I make an item of clothing.

0:20:400:20:45

-Megan, this has caught my eye.

0:20:560:20:58

-It's lovely.

0:20:580:21:00

-That was one of the first coats

-I made.

0:21:000:21:03

-I made it in the early 1980s.

0:21:030:21:05

-It's a full-length, leather coat.

0:21:050:21:08

-I enjoyed making it

-and I also enjoyed wearing it.

0:21:090:21:13

-It's so soft, isn't it?

0:21:130:21:14

-It's still soft.

0:21:150:21:16

-It's still soft.

-

-Yes. Leather improves, with age.

0:21:160:21:19

-It's been in the wardrobe for years.

0:21:190:21:22

-It's still going strong.

0:21:230:21:25

-Yes and if you want to get rid

-of it, you know where to come.

0:21:250:21:29

-What do we have in this room?

0:21:300:21:32

-These are the clothes I wear,

-at the moment.

0:21:320:21:36

-I'm a suits, coats and

-matching trousers type of person.

0:21:380:21:42

-I'm very, very fond of this.

0:21:430:21:45

-Feel it.

0:21:450:21:46

-This is cashmere.

0:21:460:21:48

-It's soft and it's a joy to wear.

0:21:490:21:52

-The trousers are in plain grey.

0:21:520:21:55

-I used pieces of the cashmere

-on the side of the leg.

0:21:560:22:00

-These are bootleg trousers.

0:22:000:22:02

-I love my black, suede coat.

0:22:060:22:08

-This is a really handy coat.

0:22:090:22:11

-I can accessorize it

-with black or brown.

0:22:110:22:14

-It's very flexible.

0:22:150:22:16

-It's warm

-and it's suitable for all occasions.

0:22:170:22:20

-I enjoy working

-with waterproof fabric.

0:22:210:22:24

-Did you make those raincoats?

0:22:270:22:28

-Yes. I send away for the fabric.

-It comes in a range of colours.

0:22:280:22:32

-I love working with it.

0:22:320:22:34

-I made this last year,

-to take on holiday to Patagonia.

0:22:410:22:45

-That's wonderful.

0:22:460:22:47

-It kept you warm.

0:22:470:22:49

-Yes. It's light

-and I could carry it in my bag.

0:22:490:22:52

-It's part-lined with fleece.

0:22:530:22:56

-The sleeves

-have a light, satin lining.

0:22:560:22:59

-It folds away neatly and I could

-pop it on, whenever I felt the cold.

0:22:590:23:06

-It was very, very handy.

0:23:060:23:07

-Have you considered

-expanding the business...

0:23:090:23:12

-..and producing

-a range of fleeces and coats?

0:23:120:23:16

-No. I enjoy making one-offs.

0:23:160:23:18

-I wouldn't enjoy doing

-the same thing over and over again.

0:23:180:23:23

-I like looking at clothes.

0:23:340:23:36

-I enjoy seeing people

-wearing clothes...

0:23:370:23:40

-..especially

-if they look good in them.

0:23:410:23:44

-I'll make a mental note

-of the style a person's wearing.

0:23:440:23:48

-I sit down and I try to recreate

-the style I've seen someone wear.

0:23:490:23:54

-D'you steal ideas wherever you go?

0:23:560:23:59

-Yes, I'm a terrible one

-for stealing ideas!

0:23:590:24:02

-If someone has a garment I like,

-look out!
