Republica's Saffron, after recording their latest single, gives her style tips
I LOVE Conscious Earthwear. It is really well made: beautiful fleece jackets, trousers with skirts attached - all a bit sci-fi, but great fun.
My favourite item of the moment is a big red parka-style coat from them, with fake fur trim on the cuffs and hood. I shop at Plum in Soho or Selfridges for their stuff.
I'm not really a "big designer" person and I like to mix things up, say an old T-shirt with something by Versace. Versace is the only big designer I like. I've just got a Versace leather jacket, which is very classic and understated.
Dr Martens are my favourite shoes just now. I've about five pairs with "buzz" soles, which are really springy, and great for jumping around on stage.
I'm a ridiculous shoes person, and DMs, DC trainers and "brothel creepers" are my kind of shoes. Never high heels.
I also like suits, mod-style in dark colours or pin stripes, like those in Quadrophenia.
Adams on the King's Road is great for them. I only wear boys' suits, though, never jackets and skirts.
One of my worst mistakes was performing in a little tartan kilt; I just thought, "what am I doing?"
Skirts make me feel really disempowered, and I'll only wear them over trousers.
Shopping is a bit like a supermarket sweep for me, rushing around grabbing anything. If there's time when touring, I really like Glasgow and Manchester for great little designer and second-hand shops.
You find things you wouldn't in London.
Being a bit of a magpie, I've kept everything from when I was a teenager.
I'm still the same size, so once in a while I'll come across something from years ago and I'll still be able to wear it.
