You have an increasing presence in the fashion world. Have you always been enamoured by clothes?

Not when I was young. My mum used to dress me in lime green leggings and a lime green jumper. As I got to 11 or 12 and boys started to become important, I felt like I needed to dress up for them, and then it became more experimental for me. I would find myself for hours trying on different things in front of the mirror. But I would never have the guts to wear those outfits out any more.

Nicolas Ghesquière, the creative director of Louis Vuitton, is a big sci-fi fan. Do you have geeky chats with him about Game of Thrones?

I think Nicolas’ inspiration for a lot of his collections is warrior women and that’s why he likes me [Turner starred in Louis Vuitton’s a/w 2017 campaign]. I spoke to him about Stranger Things the other day because he’s obsessed and I was like, “You should’ve grabbed Millie Bobby Brown before she got that Calvin Klein [campaign]!”

What are you most looking forward to over the next few months?

I’m excited for the new Spider-Man movie. I’m excited to have a week off to spend time somewhere I love, like New York. I’m excited to celebrate all my friends’ 21st birthdays and I’m excited for the political movement that I feel is impending.

I’m also looking forward to being booked up with work. I have to keep myself busy. You can only university hop for so long!

Game of Thrones is on Sky Atlantic at 2am on 17 July, repeated at 9pm.

Sophie Turner is funny, fearless and finding her voice
