For the launch of our new collection, 2001, we get nostalgic with London-based singer-songwriter and model, Chi Virgo, who makes us feel like we are reliving the Y2K era with her iconic looks and style inspired by the noughties. We asked her 20 questions about some of her best, worst and weirdest things about the era.
