A WEEK IN CT #6 with Antonia O'Brien

This week we had A Week in Charlotte Taylor with a difference as we went on the road with fashion writer and presenter Antonia O'Brien, visiting her all over London as she wore her favourite pieces from the SS13 collection.

Job title: 

Fashion writer and TV Presenter 

  

 What's the best bit about your job?

Presenting live from the red carpet at the BAFTAs and Oscars; once you're live that's it, the adrenaline makes is brilliantly scary and exciting. 

  

 Favourite London haunts?

For delicious coffee and brunch, Providores on Marylebone High Street is perfect. For pizza and a killer Bloody Mary, go to Pizza East in Shoreditch, the only place to go on Sunday with a hangover.  

 What's on your iPod right now?

I've got both  Aluna George and Flume on repeat. 

 What's on your wishlist?

Shiny foil and metallic separates from Christopher Kane's A/W '13 - both chic and sci-fi.  

 Summer plans? 

I'm currently developing a TV show which will be going live in summer, so watch this space, and then Sonar festival in Barcelona with my boyfriend and friends. 

 What would you call a pet penguin?

Spiderman 

  

 And finally, what is your favourite piece from the CT SS13 collection?

I love the blue and white marble print mini skirt - such a cool flared cut.
