Each week, we quiz a prominent person about their style and the inspiration behind it. Ahead, radio presenter Dee Salmin.

How would you describe your style? It’s a confused combo of beach, slutty grandma, BCF and eshay. It changes depending on my mood, but I’m always wearing something that’s vintage or thrifted; I haven’t bought any clothes that aren’t second-hand in 15 years.

What’s the oldest thing in your wardrobe? I have a 1920s wedding dress and an old Russian hat from the Soviet era. I also love finding things in op shops in small country towns, like hand-sewn 1940s nighties I never wear but hang on my wall because they’re so beautiful.

And the most recent addition? My housemate Brendan made matching T-shirts for himself, my boyfriend [AFL player Darcy Moore] and me with our names on them.

What are the three essentials in your wardrobe? A long, flowy, black satin skirt, band T-shirts and a denim bag with diamantés on it.

What would you wear … on a first date? I wear the same ’90s purple dress with black roses on it on every first date. It takes the mental load off … on a plane? Trackies, jumper, hoodie … on the red carpet? I have a loophole for wearing new things to events like the Brownlow Medal and NGV Gala where I’ll work with a local designer or artist. For the Brownlow its Naarm designer Poppy Templeton. I bought my shoes from Depop.

What’s your favourite fashion era? I love the 1970s hippie, Woodstock era for the flowing dresses and skirts, florals and Penny Lane coats.

Who are your favourite designers? I love jeweller Millie Savage’s pieces. Also, my friend’s label Clawdi for beautiful jackets made from second-hand woollen blankets, and my sister’s label, Baddi Bags.
