Los Angeles, March 13 (IANS) Actor Dominic Cooper loves following fashion, but doesn’t enjoy fancy dress parties. He says that he loves “anything vintage”.

The “Need for Speed” actor favours casual clothes when he is not working and hates socialising at parties where he has to dress up as a character because it reminds him too much of his work.

“I love anything vintage, a good quality suit, scruffy jeans and my trusty leather army boots. I like being casual. As an actor, I’m in costume all the time. That’s why fancy dress parties are my idea of hell,” contactmusic.com quoted Cooper as saying.

The 35-year-old is, however, an avid follower of fashion and takes an interest in emerging trends.

“I can’t believe how easily fads come back into style, like skinny jeans. But I’ve always loved fashion. It influences generations and reasonates with a moment in time. I love seeing what designers come up with, especially young designers. I think they’re artists,” he said.
