Clothes Quote by Emma D'Arcy
“I get excited when I feel that I'm trialling personas, and thinking about how certain types of clothing interact with certain types of space. But in my day-to-day life I wear clothes primarily from charity shops, which I find very comforting. I like the idea that someone's worn them in for me.”
