- No clutter.
No one's allowed to bring anything here.
Even if they're meaningful to you,
they're not meaningful to me, so...
[chuckles] I'm a nightmare.
[bright music]
Hi Vogue.
I'm Edie Campbell.
This is my house in glamorous Northamptonshire.
I'm gonna show you some of my favorite objects.
[bright music]
I moved in six months ago.
Nobody know where Northamptonshire is
because it's of so little interest to anybody.
Even English people don't know where Northamptonshire is.
When I first came here, the whole kind of land,
the whole property was being run as a fishery.
So like where men go on the weekend
and put their rods in and eat sandwiches.
My mum designed the house, she's an architect.
I quite like minimal spaces,
which is good 'cause that's what my mum does.
It's a bit humorless,
so I wanted to inject it with a bit of kind of joy.
This is a gorgeous lamp [chuckles].
I just wanted things that were cartoony, and kind of gloopy,
and sort of bodily in a slightly grotesque way.
Made by an artist called James Shaw.
James makes things out of waste plastic.
It's got a sense of humor.
It's got a weird face
like a little antennae [chuckles].
And then these guys,
I wanted some tables that could go
wherever I wanted in the room.
And I quite like, this is sort of a drinks trolley.
It's also known as the Grog Log
because that is a term for booze in English,
in English-English.
These lights were made by my best friend,
Christabel Maccgreevy.
And I wanted something really kind of silly,
and funny, and weird.
She designed these and they're all different, which I like.
So there's not kind of uniform,
different in shape and in color.
They're made out of Jesmonite,
which is kind of like plaster, and then you mix dye in.
They're just quite weird and wonderful and not tasteful.
Which is important to me.
Okay, so we're gonna now meet
the most important object in the house.
This is Pammy.
She's my girlfriend's dog, but she's mine now really.
She's just so cuddly, she's a cushion on legs.
And also you can really do whatever you want with her
and she will gladly do it.
She's such a people pleaser,
which I would hate in a person, but in a dog,
it's the nicest thing.
I'm completely obsessed with Pam.
She's so sweet.
She's a really good dog.
The goodest, aren't you?
Okay, so now that we've met
the most important person in house,
we can move on to some less interesting inanimate objects.
My mother is incredibly overbearing
and she is a dyed-in-the-wool minimalist.
So I really couldn't help but become one myself.
But the one thing I will have
is a lot of candles and candlesticks.
This guy down here
was made by an artist called Kate Mary.
And she's called Sally Fall.
Sally Fall was I think a Cornish witch.
And yeah, you can see a sort of trend appearing.
I like blobby slightly formless objects
in my like extremely angular house.
I also like texture-less food.
So maybe it is all kind of the same psychosis.
Blobby food, blobby things.
I'm not into scented candles.
That is too much decoration.
I like purely aesthetic.
It's just acid colors.
Anyway. Okay, so.
Onto another thing for establishing order
in the chaos of life.
A Dymo label maker.
Which has really transformed my life
and my ability to know exactly where everything should go
and where it should be.
I don't really know what kind of,
the demi-gods of minimalism would say.
But I find it incredibly reassuring
to keep order in my chaos.
I really just to need know where everything is
'cause otherwise it's a nightmare.
So the most anally labeled part my house
is actually in the bathroom.
And if you follow me,
I can show you fruits of my laboring labor.
[soft music]
- Okay, so the ultimate snooping in someone's house,
for me personally,
is always looking inside their bathroom cabinet
'cause I feel like you really learn about people.
And for me, you will see that I am extremely anal
about labeling things.
So all of my makeup has been organized and labeled.
If I'm looking for example, for a pink or nude lipstick,
I know that it's going to be in the pink slash nude section.
Or if I'm looking for a new mascara, here we are!
Every day is a day to label your cosmetics.
Can't just put them all in willy-nilly.
I'd never know where anything was.
So I think that is enough bathroom activity.
We can carry on and go and have a cup of tea.
[groovy music]
Okay.
In a nice continuity
from the time we just spent in the bathroom together.
It's toilet teapot.
It is currently broken,
but soon to be fixed.
And she's, I just,
I really like her.
She's a nice toilet.
The kitchen is the room I've spent the least time.
I'm really a lazy chef.
Well not really a chef at all, actually.
But let's carry on to my bedroom,
where a holy man is waiting.
Bedroom.
Where the magic happens.
But also home to the decapitated head
of St. John the Baptist.
I just sort of like the idea of sleeping
under like quite a gruesome picture.
And also sort of feels right, somehow,
to have a tiny picture on a big wall.
Good energy.
Murderous energy.
It is probably one of my,
yeah, probably my favorite room in the house.
It's got the best view.
It's just really nice to lie in this bed
and look at the water.
Okay, so another thing I obviously need
a fair bit of room for in my life is my clothes.
I have to have a bit of a one-in, one-out policy on clothes
'cause otherwise it just becomes overwhelming.
But it is organized chaos,
doesn't look like it.
But we're actually looking for my favorite shoes.
Okay, here.
These rocker atelier, fantastic, glam-rock,
apple-green boots and their non-identical twin.
They're like sharp yellow with green lace variation.
And I wore them to the Met Ball, when the theme was camp.
I just love them
and I wear them to every party pretty much
because they're just fantastic.
What more could you want from a shoe?
We're done with small things
so we should move on to some big stuff.
[upbeat music]
So we're going to go see
the most important things in my life.
The horses.
This is Ed.
He likes to have his chin scratched.
He's been in my life for five years, four, five years
He's really the Ferrari of the horses.
I mean, that's why I ended up here.
At least I have my horses on my doorstep.
Their needs a paramount, really.
They come before everyone else.
I've got six horses at the moment.
And the newest addition is Delta.
He's here.
Come say hello pal!
He's four. He's a little baby.
Doesn't know anything about the world yet,
but he's very sweet and cuddly.
I'm a little bit addicted to horses.
Don't think you can ever have too many horses.
So actually going to see another horse I might buy, now.
So Toodles!
[bright music]
I'm Edie Campbell.
Those were my objects of affection.
And I'm off to buy a horse.
[engine revving]
