Jonathan Ross: from Womble jeans to Jean Paul Gaultier

Who Are You Wearing?

TV icon Jonathan Ross is Kiri's first guest. Fashion-obsessed Jonathan tells us where it all began, from the orange flares of his childhood, to seeing the Sex Pistols on TV and making his own clothes as a teenage punk, to using his chat show wardrobe budget to buy his first designer suits. Jonathan recalls the magic of shopping in Seventies London, and takes us through his ever-growing collection of designer and vintage.
