This week’s AnOther Lover is Laura Edwards, who works at Alexander McQueen as a design assistant for McQ. Her choice of Wes Anderson’s offbeat comic drama about an eccentric family of child prodigies The Royal Tenenbaums proved the most popular of the week. We caught up with Laura to talk about dalmation mice, wooden fingers and Hello Kitty...
Why did you choose The Royal Tenenbaums?
I pretty much love every Wes Anderson movie but The Royal Tenenbaums is my favourite, every single shot is so considered and beautiful. I love the house, the cast, the music. The dalmation mice, the emergency drills, the tracksuits and especially Gwyneth Paltrow's character Margot. Her hair, eyeliner, polo dresses, fur and wooden finger are all just perfect. I could watch it over and over.
What's the last thing you bought?
A post work bottle of wine for myself and a Hello Kitty art set for my niece. I was trying to find her a Fashion Wheel but couldn't get my hands on one.
What's your most treasured possession?
I have a beautiful Lanvin ring which was a gift from my boyfriend. That sits on my most treasured list alongside my photographs, my books, my chesterfields, my grandad's cardigan and my mum's engagement ring.
What's your favourite online shop?
Probably AbeBooks, there are so many lovely old books on there and I always find what I’m looking for. I am more of an online browser than shopper so whilst I spend hours trawling I am rarely filling my basket!
