Bestley: Have you met your new favourite DJ?
The Royal Borough of Kingston-upon-Thames is not where you might expect London’s hottest DJ to have grown up. “It’s a lovely place,” Bestley, 31 and ruler of the capital’s club scene, says drily. “Provided you’re cis, white, het [heterosexual], have 2.4 children and a dog.”
They — Bestley goes by everything, but they and them are the preferred choice — are sat cross-legged on a leather couch in a slim-fitting Vivienne Westwood rugby shirt, blue and white stripes with the sovereign orb sewn into the top left. They are gender queer, acerbic and hilarious. I couldn’t love them more.
Whether Bestley is spinning decks at a fashion week in Mayfair (of which plenty next week) or at an art school hoedown
