Obsessions: Val Garland On The Thrill Of A Car Boot Sale

This week we're joined by the absolutely ICONIC Val Garland. The legendary makeup artist and judge of Glow Up is chatting to us about her many obsessions and what they mean to her. From vintage dolls, to car boot sales, Royal Worcester china and her penchant for a good jug. We discuss how to avoid cursed dolls and their negative energy when antique shopping, Val's brief stint as a car boot vendor, her top tips for the car boot, and why she keeps her work space and her home completely separate. Val also tells us how her love of collecting informs her makeup artistry, why the way we seek inspiration is changing, and whether the internet is homogenising our creative references.

Every other week we'll be picking the brain of a different creative about something they admire that has nothing to do with how they generate their income.
