Quirky Paloma doesn’t do tame – you may have noticed – whether it’s performing onstage or pounding the pavements looking for that next great vintage find the girl wears it well… as she shows us here.

Says miss Faith “I am never what you think. The mundane can be beautiful. So can the extraordinary.”

Her speedy rise to stardom took a massive leap last year when her debut single ‘Stone Cold Sober’ was brought forward a month because UK radio had leapt on it with such fervour that they couldn’t be stopped from playing it. New York and the title track Do You Want the Truth or Something Beautiful? And Upside Down quickly followed.

“It’s been an amazing year,” she giggles. “I’ve been so fortunate”. Well done you funky femme! and keep those amazing vintage fashion shows coming…
