ISLAND LIVING: QUESTIONS FOR SUSANNA


SHE WAS THE FIRST ALIX OF BOHEMIA BRIDE AND IS CURRENTLY ONE OF OUR FAVOURITE ACTRESSES. WHEN SHE ISN'T ON SET OR TRAVELING, YOU CAN FIND SUSANNA IN HER SOHO KITCHEN, COOKING UP AN ITALIAN-VEGETARIAN FEAST (SHE MAKES A SERIOUSLY GOOD RISOTTO). WE'RE CURRENTLY EXCHANGING LETTERS, GOOD WISHES AND CLOTHES VIA POST. HERE, THE ITALIAN BEAUTY, 34, SHARES WITH US HER HOLIDAY SNAPS AND A FEW OF HER FAVOURITE THINGS:
CURRENT LOCATION: London.
CURRENT STATE OF MIND: Busy thinking of too many things at the same time.
BREAKFAST: Toasted spelt bread with one avocado and cherry tomatoes.
HOLIDAY DESTINATION: Treasure Beach, Jamaica.
FLOWERS: Cherry, almond and peach blossoms. 
CLOSET STAPLE: ALIX of BOHEMIA white swiss dot Camelia Blouse.
HERO OF FICTION: Arturo Bandini
PARTNER IN CRIME: Scott, my husband.
STYLE ICON: I don't have one.
FAVOURITE BOOK: La Coscienza di Zeno, Italo Svevo.
EARLY CHILDHOOLD MEMORY: Climbing the tall trees in my garden, pulling my mum's skirt whilst she was cooking, the sweet afternoon summer light coming through the shades when I was forced to nap in the afternoons.
MUSIC: Motown, Country, Folk, Pizzica, Indie Rock, Reggae.
COCKTAIL: Gin and tonic.
WHO YOU WERE IN A PREVIOUS LIFE: A debauched lady. Maybe. Or maybe I was an early feminist activist. Who knows? Did we have a life before this one?
