Steal his style: Andrew

Dianne Bourne
10/ 6/2008

EVERY week we're out on the style scene scouting out you fabulous fashionistas. This week Diary editor Dianne Bourne caught up with ever-dapper celebrity chef Andrew Nutter, 36, from Rochdale, to find out about his look.

How would you describe your style?

I'd say my look is kind of slick with simplicity and formal lines. I like a classic silhouette.

Where did you buy tonight's outfit and how much did it cost?

Jacket: Moschino one-off, £400

Shirt: D&G, £30

Trousers: Slaters, £30

Shoes: Ikon , £40

Who is your style icon?

Mark Ronson.

Name your favourite shops.

I like Selfridges as a mass of all the ranges I like to wear, like Versace and Moschino. I try to mix and match between the ranges.

What's your best ever buy?

A shirt that I bought when I was in Las Palmas in Spain. I got absolutely plastered with a group of mates and I happened to venture along the boutiques in the afternoon, I spied this shirt and I thought I want it, I don't care how much it costs. The girl refused to serve any more of my mates with it, because she wanted it to be a one-off thing for me. It's a shirt with three colours and every time I wear it people ask where it was from. I've also got a shirt with ants running all the way around it. That was a Moschino one from Sunday Best in Rawtenstall.

What's your biggest fashion mistake?

It's quite a big mistake - it was a completely see-through Emanuel Ungaro shirt that cost £189, probably the most I've spent on a shirt, and I did it as a bit of a bet with a mate. Basically we both started to get a bit of bellies and as the shirt is completely see-through you can literally see every single contour of the body. We had a bet that whoever gets slim enough to have the nerve to wear this shirt, they can keep it - but to this day it is still in its box!

How much do you usually spend on clothes each month?

I go on binges, in one day I might spend a stupid amount of money, because I don't get a lot of time to shop with my schedule. But then I'm quite thrifty a lot of the time with my money.

What item of clothing can't you live without?

Well, I would say my chef's whites because I'm never out of them! But probably a pair of Umbro trainers that are great for wearing to go out with jeans. They are the most comfortable thing - and are a whitish colours with a red stripe for England down it.
