Neon likes this video for two reasons.

The first is that it is filmed in an old house in Princelet Street, we are guessing it is number 19, a Huguenot master silk weaver’s home with a synagogue in the garden. Neon are lucky to work in this area, there is a fascinating amount of local history thanks to Spitalfields being a home to immigrants from refugee French Protestants in the 1600s to today’s Bangladeshi community – each new nation leaving its mark on the place. Dennis Severs House famously brings the area to life in his physical recreation over 4 floors and historical guided tours of the area walk through streets with frontage that still bear strong resemblance to their past.

The second reason we like this video is that Daisy Lowe appears honest and is interesting to listen to, removed from her perceived media persona. She speaks frankly about why she became a model, who her influences are and what she likes to wear; an honest insight into one of today’s trendsetters.
