DIARY 8

Five minutes with Fella;

Anais Gallagher

Grab your glass of wine & read on for our next Five Minutes with Fella interview, where we virtually sit down with the women who inspire us, and talk about things that are inspiring them, from home.

This week we speak with one of our favourite UK Fella Muses, Anaïs Gallagher — keen photographer and daughter of legendary rocker, Noel Gallagher.

WHERE ARE YOU FROM? WHERE ARE YOU BASED?

London born and bred baby.

WHAT DOES THE NOTION OF 'HOME' MEAN TO YOU?

Home to me, is somewhere you can exist in solitude drinking a cup of tea reading a book and then the very next day sit around a table eating lots of great food, entertaining family and friends. It’s the combination of both, that makes a home so special.

WHERE IN THE WORLD IS YOUR FAVOURITE PLACE TO SWIM?

A little spot on the Jurassic coast in England. You have to abseil down some rocks to get there.

IF YOU COULD TRAVEL ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD RIGHT NOW, WHERE WOULD YOU GO?

Somewhere in Northern Italy, Circa 1983.

TO ME, SUMMER FEELS LIKE...

Long lunches that turn into dinners, hot sun kissed skin under warm showers, and ready salted Lays with Fanta lemon.

We have all been spending more time at home than ever. Have you perfected any recipes of late, and if so, would you please share your favourite with us?

I do feel like I’m cheating a bit since my boyfriend is a chef so I haven’t been doing MUCH cooking at home myself… BUT one recipe I absolutely adore is a good Tiramisu! I’ve become quite competent at making my own one as well.

HOW DID YOU FIND YOURSELF WORKING IN YOUR INDUSTRY?

Photography is something I’ve always been drawn to. It’s more than a career path to me, it’s one of the great loves of my life.

WHERE DO YOU FIND INSPIRATION?

Just about everywhere. But mainly my gorgeous friends.

CURRENT BOOK, PLAYLIST OR PODCAST?

Book: The Pursuit of Love - Nancy Mitford.

FAVOURITE LOCAL SPOT?

The National Gallery in London.

BEST PIECE OF ADVICE YOU'VE EVER RECEIVED?

It’s better to be hated for who you are than loved for who you’re not, i.e. just be yourself baby!

Your favourite male name for future Fella style name inspiration.

Slightly bias, but… Julius.
