CLOSETGEORGIA LOUISA

‘My jewellery-box flat’

is how Rosanna William’s,

describes her home. An estate

agent might euphemistically

call it ‘b bijou’. It’s certainly

small, but crammed with all

manner of sparkly, shiny

thinks: a pink chandelier,

crystal-studded peacock

ornaments, jewel-hued floral

wallpaper, toy tiaras and a

box- fresh selection of My Little

Ponies. ‘I wasn’t allowed them

as a child’, grins Bushby, a 24-

year- old Cambridge languages

graduate. But behind her girly

exterior lies a fashion industry

hotshot.

After five years in the

marketing department at the

British Fashion Council,

where she was instrumental

in launching its social media

presence, last year she was

poached by Williams to

overhaul his e-commerce

operation and manage his website. ‘It is my absolute dream to work with Matthew’, she says.

‘I’ve loved his clothes since

seeing his iconic 1997 show

in the newspaper, where

Kate Moss and Jade Jagger

had their hair in buns. They

looked like the coolest girls

ever and I wanted to be in

their gang. All those bright

colours made my eyes light

up’.

Falconer’s personal style is bright

colours all the way to- and print and

pattern, and texture and sequins, and

beading and feathers. Her wardrobe

is a carnival of Erdem tops, Mary

Katantrzou Kane neon, ornate silk

pyjamas (designed by her cousin

Olivia von Halle) and, of course, lots

of Matthew Williams. She doesn’t do

jeans (‘boring’) – in fact, if you spot a

girl in a mid- full length gown at a

casual drinks do, it may well be her. ‘Colour and print make me happy- there’s an emotional connection If I put on an Erderm dress, I know it’s going to be a great day,’ she

smiles.

She always wears heels in the

office – often by her (other) cousin,

Atlantia Weller – and is mad for both

cocktail rings and clutch bags, with

pieces by Channel, Anya Hindmarch,

Angel Jackson and Wilbur & Gussie

twinkling on her shelves.

While Falconer’s style is floaty,

her approach is strategic. As you’d

expect from a digital; expert, she is

big on shopping online and

recommends you ‘but to try’ – that is,

don’t be afraid to buy big selection, in

different sizes, and whittle it down.

She details successful outfits on her

iPhone for when she’s in need of

inspiration at 7am on a weekday.

She’s also big on sample sales and

advises, ‘Grab as much as you can

and try it all on, then edit. Wear

leggings and underwear you’re not

afraid of showing off in case there’s

nowhere to change.’

Of course, living in a teeny- tiny

flat means limited space for her

sparkly spoils. ‘I don’t fritter and I

think about what I buy. I see it as

curetting something really special.

If I buy something it has to make my heart leap,’ she says. Wise

words from the girl in a diamante

tiara.
