What does it take to create an iconic character...and how much of that character is actually you?

In this episode of Who Are You (Wearing?), Alice Cruickshank is joined by character actor, comedian and creator Selina Mosinski, best known for bringing the unforgettable Charity Shop Sue to life.

Selina takes us behind the look that made Sue an internet sensation, including the story behind her famous hair and how much of Sue's wardrobe came from Selina's own clothes. She also talks about the process of building a character through costume, personality and attitude, before revealing how different her own style is these days.

The conversation moves from Charity Shop Sue to Selina's love of minimal, structural, Asian-inspired fashion, as well as some of her favourite vintage looks and why Bananarama remain a style inspiration.

Selina is currently bringing her new Edinburgh Fringe show, Puss in Boots: A Working Class Fairytale, to the stage. Drawing on her own journey from strip club to performer, the campy and absurdist show explores late 90s and 00s ladette culture, third-wave feminism, early 00s tabloid culture and the experience of being a woman in the public eye.

It's a conversation about character, identity, ambition and the complicated relationship between who we are, who we're seen to be and what we choose to wear.
