Straight-A aspiring vet Em is half of a queer holiday romance that comes about in a wholesome, organic way. "Her priorities are just different," Buxton says, revealing she and production designer, Luke Moran-Morris, set on purple as Em's colour.
"She dresses like a queer, 16-year-old London girl. She has a more stylish, hippie vibe" compared to her friends, Buxton explains. "She wears Doc Martens and socks, has beads in her braids, and her rings look like the ones you might get in The Lanes in Brighton," where the costume designer is from.
"How to Have Sex" is in UK cinemas now.
