Susie Allen, curator

The look: This lavender kimono raincoat is from NU and my glasses are from Auerbach & Steele. I’m quite large, which can be difficult, but I always try to be different and take inspiration from myself. The shoes I purchased on the internet with the sole purpose of matching my orange hair. I’ve dyed it every single colour under the sun; it’s something that makes people smile and I really enjoy that. The art: I’m a big admirer of Tracey Emin. She has a show at White Cube that is unbelievable and now to be showing here at Frieze, too. She’s quite an extraordinary woman.
