DIY fashionAs a teenager I went to the Venice Carnival. I made a mask out of a paper plate, got a metal coathanger and bent it into horns around my head and draped a black tshirt over that. At the time I thought I looked really cool, but thinking it over...
Tell us about your own oh-so-cool fashion innovations.

I still think I looked pretty sharp11 years old on the end of school year outing to Thorpe Park.
My style icon was Vyvian from The Young Ones.
So I turned up wearing a man's denim shirt (that I hoped to pass off as a denim jacket)from a jumble sale with the bottom 6" and the cuffs cut off as it was too big.
And le piece de resistance? A length of plug chain stapled from shoulder to shoulder.
Said jacket was confiscated by a teacher. I asked if it was because I could use the chain as an offensive weapon? "No, you just look like a berk"
Said by a man who was the spitting image of Derek Smalls & wearing a Norwich football shirt
