Fashion stylist Rebekah Roy loves playing tourist in London and chilling out at her Fulham home

Where do you live and why? 

Fulham. It’s quite convenient for me and it’s close to my agency.

What’s in your secret west London address book?

I love Suzannah [6 Bristol Gardens, W9]. She makes beautiful clothes that are so easy to wear. Milletré [15 Victoria Grove, W8] has so many great designers and offers a wonderful service. I really love shopping in boutiques and there are so many great ones in the West End. Also, my favourite hair stylist, Tim Furssedonn, is at Toni & Guy [21 Gloucester Road, SW7].

What’s your favourite late night hangout?

I’d rather be cosy in the house, watching films, but I do love breakfast at The Botanist  [7 Sloane Square, SW1].

What’s been your most unusual styling job?

Pet-a-Porter for Harrods – it was quite fun with so many cute little dogs to dress up.

How would you describe your style?

I love a mixture of vintage and edgy shoes and handbags.

Do you have an outfit made to shock?

I don’t, but if I did it would be from House of Harlot.

Any favourite local designers?

I love working with Jasper Garvida, William Tempest, and Stefán Orschel-Read.

Any fashion no-nos?

No, not really. Sometimes less is more and sometimes more is better. You just have to try different things and see what works.

What were the last three places you went on holiday?

I don’t remember the last time I went on holiday, but I never feel desperate to go on holiday. I love just wandering around markets and hanging out in cafes for inspiration, playing tourist in London.

What do you miss when you’re away?

I travel quite a bit with work, but I don’t tend to miss places or things.

What’s your philosophy on life?

Stay hydrated.

What is your extravagance? 

Ice-cream.
