The weather was my enemy growing up. My health condition, sickle cell anaemia, is massively affected by the cold. When other kids wore cute cotton gloves to school, my mum made me wear leather gloves. I remember thinking, if I have to put on this armour every day, let me be good at it.
People just think I’m an immaculately dressed babe in the cold. But my winter style is more established than my summer style because I had to learn how to create outfits to keep me warm.
