Considering she is both a music and style icon, we had to ask Khan about what items she collects most in her wardrobe. Unsurprisingly, it’s footwear. “I buy shoes that are like pieces of art—I’ve never worn them,” said the singer. “I just moved into a new house, and I had boxes and boxes of shoes.” She loves Giuseppe Zanotti and Tom Ford heels. As for clothing, she prefers more of a DIY approach. “I’m not a designer chick,” she said. “I like getting my stuff made, and I design it.
As for what inspires Khan’s style on the daily? Surprisingly, it’s not music. “When I’m home, I don’t listen to music, because its my job—it’s what I do for a living,” she explained. Instead she finds inspiration in the macabre. “I mostly like watching TV—Ifor years.” Ryan Murphy, consider this your hint to cast her next season.The insider’s guide to what to shop and how to wear it.
