ITV.com

Agyness Deyne, the international catwalk model/budding pop star, has just released her very own festival fashion guide on ITV.com where she outlines her top five must-have essentials for any festival go-er. Her list includes: Wellies; an over-sized Kaftan; an across the shoulder bag, important because then it's hands-free (although I doubt we can all afford the Chanel Union Jack bag like Agyness!); a pair of Ray Bans and some red lippy to convert your daywear into nightwear.
