We invited our twitter followers to interview singer and front row favourite Paloma Faith - here's what she had to say on everything from fashion inspiration to her hidden talents...
Q: @FallenToGrace #askpaloma Do you choose clothes that reflect the tone of a performance or are the clothes more of an addition to a show?
Paloma: Usually show clothes that reflect the mood that I wake up to in the am. The foundation of any outfit is lingerie so always start with this! Shape Sensation is the best!
Q: @sexypuss #askpaloma where do you get your fashion inspiration from?
Paloma: Marilyn Monroe, Marlene Dietrich, couture designers like Christian Dior, Galliano, Alexander McQueen
Q: @TweetieKaz @Palomafaith I love that you support and collaborate with new designers. Do you find them, or do you find you? #askpaloma
Paloma: Usually my stylist has his finger on the pulse
Q: @Charlotteduck Tell us about your role in the Triumph Supporting Women in Making campaign? #AskPaloma
Paloma: I am part of a collective of well known women (pictured below) who work in a variety of creative disciplines in a celebration of true craftsmanship and expertise. We are acting as mentors to a collection of real women Triumph are championing to help start up and support their businesses. These real women include an illustrator, mosaic & multi-media artist, furniture designer, jewellery designer and a chocolatier; all of whom Triumph are allowing retail space in 'Maison Triumph' which is on 57-59 Monmouth street Covent Garden until January 2014. It's amazing!!
