Clare Press is a fashion writer, blogger, and former Voguette. She has just written a book for Penguin which comes out next year. She loves a good vintage (that would be wine and women of substance, as well as clothes). She loves 1930s silk chemises, French knickers, fragile kimonos, champagne breakfasts and ancient lace. She loves books and words, and 50s fashion illustrations, and marzipan.

She loves scents and sensibility, and dressing tables covered in little glass bottles.

And a good chic sleep. Oh, and she loves Mr. Press, of course..
