Five things I know about style: Tracey Emin

1) My taste is strange and quite maverick. I don't know anyone (except for old ladies) who has the same taste as me. I have lots of antiques and strange collections of things, like teapots, that I cherish. 2) I like furry people – men particularly, women not so much. I like men to be comfortable with their body hair – none of that waxing stuff. I think hygiene is important – they don't have to look clean, but they have to be clean. 3) Feminine and quite classic is how I'd describe my style. Day to day, I like to wear short-sleeved shirts, shorts from Kathmandu, cowboy boots and either a Vivienne Westwood or Yves Saint Laurent jacket. At night I usually nearly always wear Westwood, and sometimes I wear Stella McCartney jackets. 4) I hardly wear make-up. I have only started wearing lipstick since my dad died, because my dad liked lipstick and he liked me to look as pretty as possible. When he died I bought some lipstick and now I wear it for him. 5) I'm relatively comfortable in my own skin. Having had a breast reduction I'm much more confident – and everyone goes to me: "Oh, you look so well" – it's because, before, I was struggling with these humongous tits that were weighing me down. Tracey Emin's Walking Around My World exhibition, in collaboration with Selfridges, runs until 31 July
