Caroline's stylist spills the beans on her killer wardrobe
CAROLINE Flack is the host with the most enviable wardrobe on TV.
And the Love Island star, 38, has been using her lust-worthy clobber to send viewers secret signals her stylist Nisha Grewal has revealed.
Nisha, who works with Girls Aloud, Poldark’s Eleanor Tomlinson and Game Of Thrones’ Rose Leslie, has been sneaking love-related symbols into her stylish outfits.
"I’m constantly trying to sneak in a heart or a love element into Caroline’s clothes," Nisha told Fabulous Online.
"Her striped promo outfit shoes were from Dune; they had ‘love’ written along the sides.
"She also wore a diamond encrusted ‘loved’ charm necklace from Lola Rose with a pink Zimmerman dress on one of the Aftersun shows, and it sold out."
Caroline has also rocked black heart-shaped Accessorize sunglasses, and a bright red waist belt – all of which are in keeping with the lurve theme.
Nisha, 36, from St Albans, added: "I like to align her outfits with the location she’s filming at so if it’s a recoupling in the villa, it’s always bright and summery. I love bold prints.
"Flowing fabrics are always good too, mainly because it’s so hot in Mallorca at the moment.
"For Aftersun, it’s filmed in a studio so we like to go a little more glam."
Caroline and Nisha have been working together since last year after meeting on a magazine shoot.
Nisha said: "I’ve always been a firm believer that your personality should be reflected in your style choices. It’s very collaborative with Caroline.
"She’s a cool girl and lots of fun to be around. There is always music on in the dressing room and her laugh is infectious."
To devise Caroline’s Love Island wardrobe, Nisha goes on a mammoth shopping spree.
Her favourite shops are Selfridges, thanks to the array of brands available, and River Island.
Nisha said: "I shop daily! We work directly with designer and high-street brands, who kindly loan us their current collections.
"Once I have everything in, I create a rail of favourite looks for Caroline to try," she said.
"The rail is then separated in to villa appearances, day and night walk-ins and, of course, the studio looks.
"Fittings take place in my central London office, the Aftersun studios or at home with Caroline. We just have a big try on where we can!
"This is usually when we talk about customising pieces and work closely with my seamstress.
"Everything is meticulously organised, it has to be – there are a lot of looks to work through."
Standout outfits from the past eight weeks include a £140 skin-tight tiger print dress by Realisation Par, a £25 customised palm-print jumpsuit by Boohoo and pink retro River Island playsuit, priced at £50.
Nisha loves customising Caroline’s clothes in order to flaunt her best assets.
"Caroline has got amazing legs so why not show them off?!" she said.
"Sometimes if we find an outfit that we like the look of but could see it working better, we give it the chop.
"I don’t like to rule anything I love out just because the cut or style doesn’t fit immediately – you can always reimagine a garment, alter it and make it work.
"If we shorten a dress or transform a jumpsuit into a playsuit, it’s quite a cool way for Caroline to have a unique look and show off her legs."
The Flack is "open to trying lots of colours and prints” but likes to keep her style “fun and accessible".
Her fashion vice his high heels. "The higher the better!" joked Nisha.
"Caroline laughs at me because I always have so many options at fittings – we could easily open a shoe shop. At the moment she has over 50 pairs to choose from in her Love Island wardrobe."
adorned pair she wore in the first episode with a yellow Alice McCall jumpsuit caused a frenzy.
Nisha said: "I had hundreds of messages about them.
"This Morning even called them a trend for the summer after seeing them on Caroline."
"Caroline loves a pair of Louboutins, but she’ll happily wear a full high-street look.
"She loves River Island and has her own collection with them, which is really cool."
Nisha says Caroline – famed for her love of playsuits and jumpsuits – knows what works for her.
"She dresses for her body shape. Everyone is different, everyone has curves in different places.
"She loved the Rixo polka dot I dressed her in so I think we’ll try out spots again."
But there is one thing Caroline has refused to wear.
Nisha confessed: "A lemon-print playsuit. It’s become a bit of a joke between us. I love it – she’s not so keen."
