Celebrity Q+A Grace Woodward

Fresh from Britain's Next Top Model is the straight-talking Grace Woodward. Her edgy style has made her a favourite with the likes of Florence and the Machine and leading fashion magazines Elle and the Sunday Times Style. And now her famous spectacles are just waiting to glance over the hopefuls for Wonderbra's Full effect your life competition.

1. How would define your own fashion style?

I'd probably say somewhere between bonkers and safe.

2. What was the first designer item you brought and how much did it cost?

I had just graduated from London College of Fashion and I bought a McQueen suit and a pair of shoes from Browns. I spent all my student loan on them and they were worth every penny.

3. What one item of clothing could you not live without?

My Chanel pumps.

4. What are your favourite current high street stores?

My favourites at the moment are Whistles and House of Fraser.

5. Who are your current favourite designers?

I have worked with Richard Sorger for a while now and I adore his creations. I'm working with him at the moment on the Wonderbra 'Full Effect Your Life' campaign so I get to work with him out of his studio and give some very lucky girls the chance to win some fashion prizes. Other designers that I like at the momet are Yang U and Medham Kircher.

6. Who are you past and present celebrity style icons?

Elizabeth Taylor, Monica Bellucci, the late Isabella Blow and Daphne Guinness. All strong, striking women.

7. What budget busting advice would you give to shoppers with limited funds?

I'd say get to a store called Bang Bang and swap the clothes you are bored with for great unique pieces. You can find a lot of designer stuff in there and at other Designer Swap Shops. Bang Bang is definitely the best though.

8. What's the best fashion bargain you ever brought?

The best bargain I have bought was a recent purchase from vintage shop, Black Out 2. I bought a gorgeous two piece suit that could pass as Prada. Its gold, raw silk with some lovely beading detail and it was only £90. I'm going to team it up with a sheer blouse and my Wonderbra Full effect bra for a fantastic hint of cleavage and glamour.

9. Shoes or handbags?

Shoes, definitely shoes.

10. Finally, do you have a fashion statement you live by? (i.e. dress to impress, invest in classic pieces etc)

I think creativity is key when it comes to fashion. You don't have to be loaded to look great, go to vintage shops, charity shops or even steal things from your Nana's wardrobe!
