Peaches Geldof

Peaches Geldof has revealed all about her fashion disasters in her monthly column for US fashion mag, Nylon.

19-year-old Peaches has broken down key fashion moments in her life, and enlightened her fans as to exactly what was going on her head with certain outfits.

Some of our favourite lines from the style icon's column include: "Growing up, I was never a casual kind of girl. As early as age 9, I preferred to wear garish, ill fitting ‘80s prom dresses over jeans - usually to disastrous results."

"When I was around 16, I was alternating between mod and hippie, a schizophrenic approach to dressing that ended up yielding fairly fashion forward looks and required the ransacking of vintage stores for the perfect fringed waistcoat or woven headband..."

We're glad to see she's moved on with her style then, especially if her next exciting tidbit is anything to go by: "But in 2007, at age 17...it was the birth of Nu Rave... I woke up one morning in Ibiza clad in a baby blue spandex bodysuit and smiley face necklace."

Peaches then goes on to describe how she literally invented the dark romance trend. Well, maybe not in so many words, but she does give the impression that she and she alone went through the goth phase!

"Then last year, I started listening to Post Punk. I was uber goth.  I wanted to be Morticia Addams mixed with Siouxsie, but since I'm so pale, I just looked like a vampire," she writes.

For those interested as to where Peaches finds herself at now, she's now focusing on timeless colours and taking fashion inspiration from whichever era takes her fancy.

We particularly like her philosophy for wearing what the hell she likes though, commenting "Sure, I may look like a total idiot at times, and to the delight of many, some of these moments have been immortalized on film. 

"But fashion should be funny and silly, joyful and irreverent. So when I look at those priceless photographs, I too can't help but smile."

We couldn't agree more Peaches!
