Skins Costume Design
The props department at Skins
Okay. So remember I said I was keeping a secret from you? Well, I can know let you know what I was upto! I’ve been involved with viceland.com (along with lots of other fashion bloggers i’m sure you’ll be familiar with) in writing their fashion blog which can be found here.
Vice sent me backstage at E4’s Skins to chat to their Costume Department to find out who’s wearing what and why. Plus, I videod it, so you can see Carrie in real life (please ignore my Somerset accent!). Check out the article here!

Awesome! Off to check out the article. I’m so happy for you hun ^_^ You get to do what you love. This is so fabulous! And you look stunning as usual
January 26th, 2009 at 2:40 pm

i’m not a fan of skins but i’ll watch the vid.
and speaking of asos your skirt looks like it’s from there, gorgeous.

January 26th, 2009 at 3:09 pm
Carrie that’s wicked! Must’ve been so much fun. And I went to uni in Exeter, so I loved your accent! Really well done, it was a great interview!
January 26th, 2009 at 3:18 pm
Be proud of your west country accent, I’ve learnt to be!
Great article, I love Skins. I well up with pride everytime I see my hometown on the small screen.
January 26th, 2009 at 4:11 pm
Wow - now that’s something!
It must have been a lot of fun!
January 26th, 2009 at 4:12 pm
wooow! you look very professional! good job!
x!
January 26th, 2009 at 4:24 pm
wow, you’re so lucky. you’re pretty and have this wonderful taste in… everything? and now you’ve been somewhere near ’skins’, like the best show ever. so… i’d rather stay anonymous after this confession x)
January 26th, 2009 at 4:47 pm
hahaha, that’s so wierd,
i was looking at that viceland thing a couple of days ago and i thought i recognised the interviewer, as if it was you!
and the fact that INTERVIEWER: CARRIE H scrolled up on the screen and i didn’t even notice? as if.
did you get to see all the clothes?
did you steal some?
thats kind of morally wrong (well, a lot morally wrong) but i’d be like a child in a sweet shop if they let me ANYWHERE near those wire baskets.
x x x
(i dont think you’re accents that strong, by the way)
January 26th, 2009 at 5:04 pm
I’m soooo jealouse! Tah’s so cool the only person I interviewed were actors from White horse theater (I think they are quite famouse in britain). And your accent is sogreat… I love the british accent
January 26th, 2009 at 5:13 pm

Aw bless. I had spied your post about bows already on Vice, so I thought that might’ve been your secret project, hehe. You sound different to how I expected, even though I knew you had an accent!
Well done though my love!

OH MY! What an amazing opportunity. I mean, I’m not that big a fan of skins, but to look around the costume department is amazing. Wonderful interview Carrie!
P.S. You really don’t have much of an accent… now, if you were to hear mine, you’d hear some Brummie twinges in it… ack.
January 26th, 2009 at 9:22 pm
ohh carrie I love your accent! and the voice! aw! but I must say I imagined it a little bit more thin
anyway I hope you have a lovely week.

SKINS is one of my favorite series so far. That’s so cool.
Well, let me just say that I understand you really clearly and It’s super hard to understand the other guy for me… I’m really not used to hear ‘real’ english.
Anyway, this was really cool. I loved it!
January 27th, 2009 at 6:40 pm

I’m so envious of you right now! For some reason, I didn’t imagine your accent to be that thick, but I like it! Wish I had one!
January 28th, 2009 at 2:59 am
Sooo cool. You look great, love all the black & red!! Rock On!

What Somerset accent? You mad woman. My boyfriend is from Devon and he has no accent at all, neither does my Mum who is also from Somerset. But their families have BROAD accents. Anyway, awesome interview! I have run myself out of compliments on Vice so take a look at the comment there
Good on you girl!
