Charli Howard

How did you come up with the idea for this charm? 

I love being a woman and I love my curves, though it took me a long time to feel comfortable having them. I wanted to design a charm that was cute, fun and that represents women everywhere. 

What Charity did you choose and why?

I've chosen ABC (Anorexia Bulimia Care) - their founder, Jane, was pivotal in my recovery from eating disorders and continues to be a support to this day.

Friendship is… ?

Someone who brings out the best in you, and who you’re not afraid to be honest with or take criticism from.

What inspires you?

Old Hollywood, vintage Playboys and strong, successful women.

Home is… ?

In-between London and Brooklyn, New York.

Best piece of advice?

"This too shall pass".

Last movie you saw?

The Joker - it might be the best film I've ever seen.

Most played tune?

It's a toss-up between 'This Charming Man' by the Smiths and 'Feeling Good' by Nina Simone.

Most treasured?

My signet ring. I never take it off (and never will!).

Most evocative scent?

I’m not sure about evocative, but the one I get the most compliments on is Glossier’s ‘You’.

Tell us a secret?

I can’t whistle!

First thing you do when you wake up?

I have to start the day with two cups of tea. The day just feels ‘wrong’ otherwise.

Most unexpected coincidence?

I’m constantly bumping into people I know in random places. A few weeks ago, I was stood in a crowded subway carriage in New York next to a girl I’d lent my fake I.D to one night when I was 17 (and hadn’t seen since). I believe everything happens for a reason!

If you could change the world?

Where do I begin?
