Patrick Benjamin talks fashion with Suede frontman, Brett Anderson, who was in town last month.

What is style?
It’s really a big f*cking joke but aren’t some folks suckers for it. I could never understand why.

What can you not do without?
Throat Coat tea and ear plugs. I reckon they are more essential than posh togs.

Who are your style icons?
I don’t really have one, but if push comes to shove, my choices are Charlie Chaplin and a fat dominatrix.

Can money buy style?
Absolutely not. But it can buy you a stylist.

High street or haute couture.  
Why bother? You are all gonna die anyway, maybe a nice suit to meet your maker.

Favorite fashion tip?
Never follow fashion. It’s more pointless than wonkily dubious spiritual books.
