Annoushka Ducas:
I am Annoushka Ducas, and welcome back to
My Life in Seven Charms. For me,
there
are so few things which can evoke a memory like a tiny detail
charm. In this new series, I'll be
meeting
seven extraordinary women and hearing their stories through this very special 18 karat gold
biography.
In today's episode, we'll be meeting stylist and thrifting pioneer, Bay Garnett.
Bay Garnett:
I was on the Upper East Side in New York and I went into my favourite cancer care,
and
on the rail to go was this amazing banana print top with big leaves, and to cut a long story short,
I
used that top on Kate Moss, and Juergen Teller shot it. So, that banana top, when we talk about
stories,
it's had a real story.
Annoushka Ducas:
Today I'm in West London, which I'm really excited about, because I'm going to
see
Bay Garnett, and I'm not going to do it on Zoom, so I'm really looking forward to meeting her. Bay
is a
stylist and creative director, who has been called the Queen of Thrift. Long before the fashion
industry
woke up to sustainability, she was a trail blazer, rebelling against the fashion establishment by
combining second hand finds with couture. She has that most unusual quality, the restless eye of a
maverick. Welcome, Bay, to
My Life in Seven Charms.
