Style Icon and music presenter Lauren Laverne is soon to be helping to find some of the country's best unsigned acts. She talks to FemaleFirst about her new projects, why she thinks of fashion being like food and the day she learnt how to pronounce Moet correctly!Hi Lauren, How are you doing today? I'm great thanks, how are you?

I'm good, just falling apart at the end of the day you know!

Ahh, I see!

Anyway, what have you been up to recently?

Working as hard as ever and you know managing to have a life too, and yes I've been working on my radio show and I've been working on Orange Unsigned Acts for Channel 4 and some other projects on BBC too. This really cool thing for BBC 4 which will be on in January called Style ion Trial and it's about finding out which is the ultimate decade is ever for fashion.

Ooo, that's a toughie!

Yeah, it's a real toughie. I mean the 50s and 30s were awesome, but luckily we've narrowed it down to the 1940s to the 1990s so it will be easier for us.

So how was the Scottish Style Awards?

It was tremendous fun, ridiculous and obviously very stylish and the place it was in was just incredible and it was in jaw-dropping surroundings. It was just really good fun, I loved it, you know. Got to wear a bit of Christopher Kane, the catwalk show was amazing, all the models all looked fantastic. They were all swigging Moet (says it very poshly) yes, Moet! (I continue to giggle) Do you know what, I actually found out that is the correct pronunciation, because they sponsored the event and you can't call it Moet, you have to call it... (posh voice again) Moet. So I've learned how to pronounce it properly and how to drink it quite fast.

Who were the style winners and losers of the night, in your opinion?

Shirley Manson was on my table and she looked incredibly glamorous and everyone just looked good. I've got to say most people looked very very stylish, I didn't really see anyone looking bad. They were all quite well turned out.
