Have you been to The Dublin Castle before?
I’ve actually been a few times. It’s an iconic pub, and they pour a good Guinness.
It's historic — I heard Amy Winehouse would occasionally pull a pint there. How did it feel to perform at the venue?
It felt great, especially because most of the people in the crowd were my mates coming to support. It’s also fun performing in an intimate venue like The Dublin Castle, makes it more special.
Do you have a favorite memory of going out in North London?
It’s hard to pin down just one, North London has the best pubs.
Yeah, now is the best time to be inside at the pub. How would you describe London winters?
Wet.
Tell me about your band, Automotion.
We’re currently on our European tour which has been a lot of fun. Our music video for our new single, "Inferno," has just been released and we have some cool stuff coming up too, but you’ll have to wait and see.
What artists are influencing you right now?
At the moment, I’d say Black Midi. I’ve always enjoyed their music, but now they’re on repeat with Duster.
You get that from your sound and style; what’s the best outfit to wear for a show?
Leather trench coat, always.
You've always been into fashion, and you recently got to model alongside your mom, Patsy, in Napapijri's new campaign. What did working with the brand mean to you and your family?
It was fun to see each other working in a professional setting, so I guess it gave us both an insight into a work perspective of each other's lives which we don’t normally get to see.
Is there a moment from the shoot that stood out to you?
Probably the shots were my mum and I had to look at each other with serious faces. Was hard not to laugh, but we managed to keep it together
Do you have a favorite piece from the "Future Heritage" collection?
I’d have to say the 1990 Anorak, it’s a classic.
What fashion traditions have persisted in your household?
I think it’s always about being comfortable in what you wear. It’s a cliche but I’d say comfort is key.
