Lily Allen wanted to open fancy dress shop
October 28th, 2010 - 1:30 pm ICT by IANSLondon, Oct 28 (IANS) Singer Lily Allen had plans to open a fancy dress shop before she settled for a vintage store.
The “Not Fair” singer, currently expecting her first child, recently opened a vintage clothing store with sister Sarah Owens, reports contactmusic.com.
“When I got pregnant, I decided to wind down a bit. So Sarah and I thought it would be a good moment to open the shop we’d been thinking of doing for years. Originally, it was going to be a fancy dress shop but because of our passion for vintage clothing, we thought this would work better,” said Allen.
She says the decision to open a high-quality vintage store came after she saw many girls dressed like her.
“One of my ‘light bulb’ moments came when I went to a Christmas party and five people had the same high street dress on as I had. Plus the quality doesn’t compare,” she said.
