This week I’m joined by Sabry El Klifi (@sabryelklifi), Brighton-based fashion lover, model, stylist and content creator. To talk about style, confidence and why fashion is so much more than just clothes.

We chat about how we met over those glasses, building a personal brand on Instagram, and the love, hate relationship with social media. Sabry opens up about growing up in France, moving to London and then Brighton, and how fashion became his daily therapy and creative outlet, helping him through low moments, breakups and rebuilding confidence.

We talk about main character energy, compliments, not fitting in, buying with a vision, and why feeling sexy is an energy, not how much skin you show. And of course, we finish with my signature questions, including what makes him feel sexiest (spoiler: an oversized blazer).

⚠️ Content warning: Adult themes, sex and sexuality, body confidence, social media pressures.

This week I’m joined by the incredible Katie France London, the designer behind the iconic heart bags you’ve seen all over Instagram, including my own blue & orange one-off piece.

We talk about how her brand began with kids’ clothing, how inclusivity led her to designing bags, and why accessories were can be the first tool for confidence when clothing didn’t feel available. Katie opens up about imposter syndrome, the power of colour, building confidence through dopamine dressing, and how she grew her loyal community online.

We also talk about content creation, small business collaboration, vintage fabric sourcing, and how her bags have found their way onto the runway at London Fashion Week.
And of course, we finish with the classic questions.

⚠️ Content warning: Adult themes, discussions of body confidence and sexuality.

In this episode, I’m joined by dancer, fitness instructor, and Brighton icon Luke Haley, who opens up about finding their people through dance, discovering their identity, and building confidence through performance.

We talk about Luke’s journey from growing up in a conservative area to training at the BRIT School and Laine Theatre Arts, coming to terms with being non-binary, and finding freedom in Brighton’s queer scene.

From go-go dancing and thrifted fashion to sex, self-expression, and body confidence, Luke embodies what Fashion Is My Foreplay is all about: owning who you are and turning it into art.
