Created by stylist, Sinead McKeefry, Claudia’s Traitors look takes traditional country staples - tweed jackets and coats, fairisle and chunky knits - and mixes them up with more than a splash of gothic glamour, to create striking, fresh, edgy yet wearable looks that work for all ages.
Sinead shares details of Claudia’s outfits on Instagram. She has previously described the inspiration behind them as “Ronnie Corbett meets Princess Anne meets Madonna (the Guy Ritchie days)”.
Knitwear is a key element - Sinead has an MA in Knitwear - as are tweeds, and favourite brands worn by Claudia on The Traitors III include Brora (which has a shop in Harrogate); Purdey; Johnstons of Elgin; Barrie; Jigsaw; Dr Martens; Holland Cooper and The Vampire’s Wife (now sadly no longer with us although its genius lives on in many wardrobes, including Claudia’s).
Looks for The Traitors III so far have ranged from the country-style breakfast look to the round table gothic glam look.
And it’s not just about Claudia, because contestants of all ages have been showcasing their own take on British country style. Ordained priest Lisa has been wearing Yorkshire brand Rydale, and looking very natty, too.
The Traitors III finale is on BBC1 tonight, Friday, January 24, from 8.30pm.
