Lev Tanju loves to shop, though he’s trying to stop. Recent purchases have included a S/S 2015 Chanel satchel adorned with badges and peace signs from an LA consignment store (‘to me, it’s better than a painting’), a vintage Chrome Hearts belt (the brand is a current obsession), clothes to play golf (‘weird vintage knitwear and Gore-Tex’), and Charvet slippers from Paris. The Croydon-born designer admits he needs to ‘minimise’ and have a wardrobe clear-out. ‘I probably have around 200 T-shirts, then wear the same three every day. I buy things because I love them and never wear them. But I still appreciate them being there.’
