As they lounge on a crumpled doona, eating choc-chip cookies, Kathy Lette chats with her friend, pop princess Kylie Minogue, about home, hearth and her latest venture.

Kylie Minogue loves to turn the other chic — she is constantly reinventing herself. The woman is style personified.
I first met Kylie 12 years ago at a dinner at the home of the late Michael Hutchence and Paula Yates. We’ve been friends ever since, despite our differences — if life were linen, Kylie would be a king-size satin top sheet and I’d be a single flanelette countour bottom. Kylie and her sister, Dannii, regularly descend on me for riotous dinner parties. In exchange, they teach me dance moves and update my prehistoric music collection.
Today, as we lounge on my crumpled doona, devouring choc-chip cookies baked by my daughter, Kylie’s mission is to revamp my decrepit boudoir with her new range of luscious bedlinen, Kylie At Home.
Until I saw your scrumptious collection, my only criteria re sheets is that they be flame-retardant. Not any more — I want them all! What inspired you?
I collated a lot of photo references of all kinds of things, including a lot of fashion.
Your gran is pretty crafty (and I don’t mean a card-sharp). Can you trace your passion for fashion back to her?
Everyone thinks of you as a workhorse, but are you secretly one of those people who like to get up at the crack of noon?
