British singer/songwriter Kate Nash will never put her name to a fashion or perfume range like her contemporaries Lily Allen and Britney Spears – because she’d hate to be associated with a mainstream brand.

The Foundations hitmaker, 20, insists she won’t accept freebies from companies, or endorse a clothing brand, because she would feel insincere.

She says, “I got asked to model for a store for lots of money but there’s no way I’d do that. I buy clothes from charity shops. I’m always being offered free laptops and things. I turn them down because I’m trying to get people to think about what they do and stand up for being an individual.”
