Mirror Mirror: Stooshe

Mirror Mirror: Stooshe

Alex Buggs, Courtney Rumbold and Karis Anderson aka Stooshe have just released their new album and single Slip and took time out ahead of touring the UK to talk chain-mail dresses, Minnie Mouse and The Goonies...

Karis

When I look in the mirror I see... one third of Stooshe. My own worst critic and just... me!

If I were stranded on a desert island with only one dress it would be... one of my fun William Wilde latex dresses so that I could play dress up and make myself laugh.

When I was at school I wanted to be... in a girl band, of course. How cringey.

My biggest style triumph was... I loved the Craig Lawrence chain-mail dress I wore for the Brits 2013. We were nominated for best UK single for Black Heart. It was the perfect dress!

If I could be any character from film or literature I would be... Minnie Mouse. I've always loved her since I was a little girl. I would always dress up as her for fancy dress parties. She's such a lady and I just love all the different variations of the spotted dress she had. She's a cartoon style icon.

Alex

When I look in the mirror I see... a woman who I am proud to have grown into today.

If I were stranded on a desert island with only one dress it would be... my Jean Paul Gaultier vintage green dress. I love it! It's three quarter length with a big zip running down the middle, so if I got too hot I could just unzip it and leave it open.

When I was at school I wanted to be... a performer. I would watch artists and musicals imagining I was taking their place on stage, but in reality I was SO scared of singing in public that I kept it quiet for years.

My biggest style triumph was... The Brit Awards this year and the Roland Mouret blue dress I wore. It was beautiful.

If I could be any character from film or literature I would be... Effie White - Jennifer Hudson - from Dreamgirls. I love singing and I know most of the words to all the songs, I'm basically ready for the part now!

Courtney

When I look in the mirror I see... me! A member of Stooshe and the baby of the group.

If I were stranded on a desert island with only one dress it would be... can I have trainers instead? I'd take all my Jeremy Scott colourful ones. They all have different crazy patterns so I could blend into all kinds of scenery.

When I was at school I wanted to be... doing something that I loved and being creative. I suppose I haven't done too badly!

My biggest style triumph was... I loved my suit which was made especially for me for the Brit Awards. I loved the colour and the little bespoke detailing that made it very me.

If I could be any character from film or literature I would be... well, The Goonies is my favourite film so I would have loved to have been part of the Goonie crew. I would have definitely taken Sloth home to be part of my family!
