Peaches: ‘I’m not trying to be sexy’

Posted by Jane Murphy

 

Unstoppable fashionista Peaches Geldof has been speaking to The Times about her signature style. And frankly, if that isn’t enough to get you dribbling with excitement, there must be something wrong with you…

So what’s it all about, Peaches? Tell us! Tell us! “It’s obvious I’m not dressing for men,” she insists. “I don’t want to be sexy. I’m, like, covered in tattoos. I have piercings.

“I’m just grungy and weird and not what is socially accepted as beautiful, and I think that’s cool.” Hey, if you think it’s cool, we think it’s cool, Peaches!

So which modern-day style icons does Ms Geldof admire? “The women who were championing things that were different,” she explains. “I loved Winona Ryder in her Beetlejuice and Heathers era - and even when I saw Angelina Jolie on the red carpet, like, years before that Hollywood makeover, and everyone was so weirded out because she had long, weird nails and a long, weird dress on.

“And that’s what I think is amazing. Anti-beauty. I don’t want to dress for men. I think it’s almost, like, a feminist thing.”

So are you impressed with Ms G’s, like, attitude - or do you, like, remain unconvinced? Tell us here.
