-I hate looking like everyone else.

-I'm a hairdresser

-and I like to think I'm unique.

-I've been here for five years.

-Everyone tries to outdo each other

-in the fashion stakes in Liverpool.

-Everyone dresses up to go out.

-That happens a lot more

-than in other cities.

-Men are as fashion-conscious

-as women here.

-I have my own salon and being

-a hairdresser is all about image.

-Nobody in the shop wears a uniform.

-They wear their own clothes.

-What you wear should reflect

-the kind of person you are.

-I like to be bright,

-so I don't wear dark clothes.

-I like reds and blues.

-I love to stand out.

-I think it reflects who you are.

-What you're wearing

-expresses how you feel that day.

-I'm wearing grey!

-What does that say about me?

-Watch it!

-This is where I keep my T-shirts.

-They're colour coordinated.

-When I get up in the morning,

-I choose which colour to wear.

-I have loads of T-shirts

-with cartoons on them.

-I have ones

-with logos printed on them.

-This Coca-Cola T-shirt

-is quite retro.

-I have a Mr Incredible shirt here.

-I hear your bed linen

-is incredible, too!

-Yes, a glow-in-the-dark

-Mr Incredible duvet set.

-I bought it in Hong Kong.

-# Where does your trip begin?

-# Trying things

-which aren't available

-# It's part of your life

-but it wasn't part of the plan... #

-I really like 1980s stuff.

-A lot of fashion disasters

-happened in the 1980s...

-..but we now look back and see

-that some things were cool, too.

-I look at pop music, bands

-and fashion.

-Everything goes around in cycles and

-1980s trends are making a comeback.

-Those are great! I really like

-these fantastic trainers.

-They're so colourful.

-They're so colourful.

-

-I love trainers and I live in them.

-That's why I own

-so many pairs of them.

-I had these made for me

-at Nike Town in London.

-You can

-design your own trainers there.

-You choose the style

-and the colours.

-That's so cool!

-You chose all of this?

-Yes, I chose all of it.

-You choose your colours and they

-send it to you within a month.

-Your name's on them!

-That's handy if you leave them

-at the swimming baths!

-I have a thing

-for Reebok Pump trainers.

-I have three pairs of them.

-These are

-the Miami Vice special edition.

-You put them on, then pump them up?

-You put them on, then pump them up?

-

-Yes, they support your feet.

-Do you need three pairs?

-Do you need three pairs?

-

-Yes, and they're all from eBay!

-Male fashion and male grooming have

-changed a lot in the past decade.

-Men feel similar pressure to women.

-The designers now produce

-a lot more men's clothes.

-Louis Vuitton make man bags.

-Everyone's spotted a new market.

-They're pushing it.

-There's pressure on men

-to look the part.

-I'm happy with the way I look.

-I'm happy with my body

-and with the way I dress.

-I now tend to buy classic designs

-which are made to last.

-Are those bags genuine or fakes?

-They're genuine

-and they cost a fortune!

-My one bag a year treat.

-Which is the newest of them?

-The Fendi weekend bag,

-which I bought last Christmas.

-I love that bag but I love

-my Louis Vuitton bag even more!

-I bought it in Milan

-and it's one of the collection bags.

-I adore it!

-How much did it cost?

-How much did it cost?

-

-Over 1,000.

-Honestly?

-Aren't you scared to take it out,

-in case someone grabs it from you?

-No, I hold on for dear life!

-I like going to vintage shops

-in Liverpool and in Camden.

-I know where to go

-to get what I want.

-I bought most of these shirts

-in second-hand shops.

-I've bought some really nice shirts,

-like this one.

-The cowboy style!

-This is second-hand.

-The shirt I'm wearing

-belongs to my dad.

-It's around 40 years old.

-Fred, the Homepride character.

-I can't believe it's so old.

-I can't believe it's so old.

-

-It's amazing.

-What are those red trousers?

-I bought them years ago.

-They're Gucci jeans.

-I bought them over six years ago.

-I don't wear them any more.

-How much did you pay for them?

-How much did you pay for them?

-

-Around 180.

-You've had good wear from them.

-You've had good wear from them.

-

-Yes, I've worn them six times!

-Have you found a place

-where you're confident and happy?

-Yes, I'm happy because my style

-isn't expensive to maintain.

-I do buy stuff

-from second-hand and vintage shops.

-You blow the savings on bags!

-You blow the savings on bags!

-

-Yes, on bags and sunglasses!

-My wardrobe is full of dresses.

-I don't really wear jeans.

-Dresses are so easy.

-It's a single item and you don't

-have to match it with anything else.

-You can glam it up with jewellery

-or a nice pair of shoes.

-Dresses dominate my wardrobe!

-I don't know if it makes me boring

-but I like pretty, girly things.

-I've never veered towards

-any other style.

-People say your clothes

-reflect your personality.

-Yes and I think that's true.

-My wardrobe is colourful

-and I'm a lively person.

-Wearing bright colours

-brightens up my day.

-I hope it cheers up

-other people, too.

-This flowery dress

-is definitely one of my favourites.

-It's such fun!

-I bought it a month ago

-to go on a girls' holiday to Turkey.

-I wanted something comfortable

-and fun.

-I love the elastic

-at the bottom of the dress.

-It complements my shape quite well.

-This print and these colours

-are very fashionable.

-Yes. These are pretty colours.

-This dress worked really well.

-It's good for clubbing

-and as daywear, too.

-Yes, I wore it with flat sandals

-during the day.

-I like to keep everything.

-I hate throwing things away.

-I don't wear the clothes in the

-left hand section of my wardrobe.

-My mother goes mad and she asks me

-to have a clearout once a year.

-I like to keep things

-in case they come back into fashion.

-This green dress was given to me

-by my grandmother.

-My grandmother bought it

-to go to a party...

-..but, for some reason, she ended up

-never wearing this dress.

-She gave this dress to me

-and I think it's really pretty.

-I'd wear it with a belt and

-a pair of flat gladiator sandals.

-I'd even wear it with leggings

-to modernise it.

-You'll take this dress to a party

-on behalf of your grandmother!

-I study Theatre Design

-at Nottingham Trent.

-It's a creative subject.

-Costume design

-is one of my strong points.

-Theatre costumes

-must be big and dramatic.

-The audience

-must be able to see everything.

-Small, pretty details are pointless.

-The opposite of the dresses

-you wear every day!

-Yes, it's the opposite of my taste!

-I go for simple, pretty things you'd

-never wear on the theatre stage.

-This is

-a theatrical-looking garment.

-This is the dress I made

-during my Art Foundation course.

-I took Blodeuwedd as my theme.

-I screen-printed trees

-along the bottom of the dress.

-I needed another layer, so

-I borrowed my grandad's waistcoat...

-..and I printed

-a picture of tree on it.

-Your grandfather and I

-dress similarly!

-I can't help but notice

-this lovely pink skirt.

-Your room is pink, your wardrobe

-is pink and this skirt is pink too!

-We had to design a garment

-as part of our GCSE course.

-I decided to make this tutu

-because it's fun...

-..and I wanted to work with net.

-I used a couple of layers of net.

-It must be hard work to create

-something with this many layers.

-It's quite thick but I managed

-to sew it in the end.

-You'll never get rid of this.

-How do you see your style developing

-as you get older?

-I can't see it developing at all!

-I'll always buy nice little dresses

-and ignore jeans and trousers.

-I don't think I'll change much.

-Clothes give me confidence.

-If I feel good about myself...

-..I'm a better mother

-and a better wife.

-I'm a better everything!

-You have six children, you work

-full-time and you look fantastic.

-You look too young

-to be a mother of six!

-Thank you, Nia.

-Have you always

-been interested in clothes?

-Yes, I've always

-been interested in clothes.

-I started to take an interest

-in myself after I had the children.

-I started to take more of an

-interest in clothes and my image.

-I didn't want to let myself go.

-That's interesting.

-Most people who start a family...

-..find they have less time

-to spend on themselves.

-You must have made a huge effort.

-Yes, I did. You're quite right.

-It was important for me to feel good

-when I was with the children.

-I wanted to feel good about myself.

-Having children changed me.

-How much of a say does Dewi, your

-husband, have in the way you look?

-When Dewi first saw me...

-..he wasn't very impressed

-with the way I dressed!

-He said to himself,

-"She's got a pretty face.

-"I can do something

-about the clothes!"

-He tried to change me, Nia,

-and it helped me.

-He thought I was old-fashioned.

-You married him regardless!

-You married him regardless!

-

-Yes. What a fool!

-This is a leopard print dress.

-I wear this when I want to feel

-like me, like Linda...

-..not simply someone's mother.

-I'd wear it

-on a weekend away with Dewi.

-I like the fabric

-and I love the figure-hugging style.

-There are no big slits in it,

-so it's a nice dress.

-I look forward to wearing it soon.

-I love an excuse to dress up.

-Do your daughters

-have an opinion about what you wear?

-They tell me if I wear

-something that's wrong for me.

-I have a pair of check trousers

-which they hate!

-When I wear them, they say...

-.."Mum, don't wear

-those farmer trousers to school.

-"Anywhere else but not to school!"

-Do you wear them?

-Do you wear them?

-

-Yes - I ignore them!

-How important is it for you

-to be smartly dressed...

-..when you're conducting a choir?

-It's very important.

-I buy something really nice

-to wear at the Eisteddfod each year.

-The Eisteddfod

-is very important to me.

-I go to Manchester

-to find something nice.

-Is it superstition?

-Is it linked to luck?

-No, it gives me self-confidence

-and I feel good.

-My pupils like to stand there

-and see Mrs Morus dressed nicely.

-They enjoy it, too.

-My clothes budget varies

-according to the occasion.

-I bought this

-for this year's Eisteddfod.

-I wore it with these shoes.

-They were

-a big hit with the children!

-Weren't you scared of falling?

-No, the platform

-makes them comfortable.

-I thought it was a brave choice!

-Are designer labels

-important to you?

-Not at all.

-I love this dress, for example.

-I paid

-something like 10 for this one.

-I really love to wear this dress.

-It depends on the occasion.

-Are you aware

-of the attention you get?

-Yes and I love it!

-I really enjoy wearing

-figure-hugging dresses to go out.

-Why not?

-Tell me about your make-up.

-You like make-up, don't you?

-I know I wear too much make-up

-but I love it!

-I'll never leave the house

-without make-up.

-When I'm swimming, I hold my head

-above the water to save my lipstick!

-That's me

-and I won't change for anyone.

-There's a lot of pressure on women,

-more so than men, to stay young.

-There's pressure

-to get rid of wrinkles.

-Yes but I have no money

-for things like Botox!

-Women are undeniably under pressure.

-Women are undeniably under pressure.

-

-Yes, that's definitely true.

-It's hard when you have a job

-where people look at you every day.

-I stand in front of a class

-and in front of choirs.

-I don't mind, as long as

-I feel happy in my clothes.

-I'm 45 and I'm edging closer

-to the big five-oh!

-I may be panicking a little!

-It hit me like a brick

-when I was 40.

-It was a terrible feeling.

-I now have a greater awareness

-of clothes and of myself...

-..than I had in my 20s and 30s.

-What about

-when you reach your 50th birthday?

-I'll be terrible! Don't mention it.

-You'll throw a big party

-and wear a new dress.

-No, I'm really dreading being 50.

-Will you change your look again?

-Yes, I'll have to change my look

-when I'm 50.

-I'll definitely be in the suits

-and the linen jackets.

-I'll have to make the most of now.
