I arrive for my interview with Chloe Kelling and I'm asked to wait in the garden. I hardly have time to start looking round at the carefully tended flowerbeds when Chloe appears. Every bit as tall and striking as I'd epected, Chloe emerges from the house wearing an oversi!ed man's "acket, a delicately patterned top and  "eans. Chloe is known for her slightly #uirky sense of fashion and, of course, she looks great as she makes her way towards me through the flowerbeds.

work for a short period, but felt very homesick at first, she recalls. $It was very demanding work and, though I met loads of nice people, it was too much to take in at nineteen . if I&d stayed longer, I might have settled in  better. (longside the modelling, Chloe was also beginning to make contacts in the music business. $I&d been the typical kid, singing with a hairbrush in front of the mirror, dreaming of being a star one day, she laughs. he "oined a girl band which $broke up before we got anywhere, before becoming the lead singer with the  band hoosh, which which features on a best-selling clubbing album. nusually though, Chloe also sing with two other bands, one based in weden and another in %ondon, and each of these has a distinct style. It was her work with hoosh that originally led to Chloe&s link with weden. he was offered offer ed a songwriting "ob there with a team that was responsible for songs for some ma"or stars, but gradually became more involved in writing music for her own band. (lthough she now divides her time between %odon and weden, her first stay there turned out to be much longer than she&d bargained for. $7he rooms are very tall over there and so people have these rather high beds that you climb up to, she eplains. $I fell as I climbed up the ladder and craked three ribs. (lthough the people at the hospital were very kind, I was stuck there for while, which was very frustrating. nee!ing and laughing were so painful at first, let alone singing) It was while recovering from her in"uries that Chloe hit upon the idea of staging what she calls vintage fairs $It was snowing in weden and I wanted something nice to look forward to. Chloe had always loved vintage clothes, particularly from the js, and decided to stage an event for others who shared her passion for these. qinally back in England, she began turning her  plans into reality. 7he first fair was held in her home village and featured stalls selling all sort of clothes and crafts dating back to the js. It was a huge hit, with  people turning up. $hen I had the idea of the first fair, it was only meant to be a one-off, but we had so many compliments, I decided to go ahead with more, say Chloe. 7here&s something for all ages and people find old things have more character than stuff you buy in modern shops. It also fits perfectly with the idea of recycling&. %ooking round Chloe&s caravan, I can see what she means.
