I adore this woman for three reasons: she loves Ashish. She rocks a pom pom like no other. She has amazing red hair (she’s basically an improved version of me). Paloma, I think I’m in love!
Seeing her perform at Shepherds Bush Empire in 2010 is when I first fell for her. Evolving in front of our eyes like a tropical bird, not only can this lady belt out a tune but she has enough chat, charisma and charm to keep you hooked from the start. (Her cover of Akon’s, ‘Sexy Chick’ was utterly hypnotising.) Yet it is her statement in fashion which speaks volumes. Without looking too try hard or contrived, Ms. Faith can pull off a look with the flick of a roller and as Louis Walsh would say, “Really make it her own”.

Her background at
Central Saint Martins, working in Agent Provocateur, as a burlesque performer
and magicians assistant has helped channel her retro sound and look, yet with
enough pure- bred Hackney vibe thrown in to not look like another ‘vintage’
Shoreditch t***.
From being a
constant figure on the FROW at all major fashion weeks, performing at Bestival,
appearing on political shows or being dressed head-to-toe in next season
D&G, the jazz-husked singer and actress takes it all in her stride. Never appearing to
take herself too seriously, she rocks a headpiece like no other, giving Anna
Dello Russo a serious run for her money.
Her latest album
may not be up there with, “Do You Want The Truth Or Something Beautiful” but
who really cares- I could spend all day perving over her photos on instagram
and still have time for more. Infatuated? You bet.
