Q&A
Q: What are your current Top 5 fashion items you can’t live without?
A: ​
-
My Gucci horse-bit leather gloves (especially this season) I’m currently obsessed with accessorising with gloves.
-
My Louis Vuitton keep-all, it’s the perfect travel bag, overnight bag and sports bag all at the same time. I appreciate the convenience it provides.
-
Loafers, I have 2 pairs that are currently on high rotation from Witchery and Zara. They complete my dressed down moments and add a bit sophistication (styled with ribbed/sheer socks)
-
My oversized grey knit coat from ASOS with barrel arms is the coolest item in my wardrobe this winter.
-
My ballet shoes, I’ve recently joined ballet classes. I must say I sometimes find myself styling my ballet shoes with everyday outfit.
Q: What’s the story behind one of your favourite pieces - why is it meaningful to you?
A: It will have to be a couple items that were bought for me by my mom and sisters, I’m blessed with very attentive and intentional women in my life who show love through gifting. And because they understand how much fashion means to me, they know exactly how to melt my heart.
​
Q: How would you describe your personal style in three words?
A: Laid-back, Off-duty model and sophisticated.
​
Q: Where do you usually discover new fashion or trends?
A: I discover new fashion through culture, everyday lifestyle, travel and tv shows.
​
Q: Who or what influences your fashion choices the most?
A: My fashion choices are mostly influenced by my body shape; I really stick to what works/ looks more flattering on my body, then trends.
​
Q: What advice would you give someone trying to find or refine their personal style?
A: I’d advise them to spend more time with themselves so that individuality can show in their style sense, know their skin undertones to know which colors work best for them, get a personal tailor for well fitted clothing and to build a capsule wardrobe for everyday wear.
​
Q: Is there a fashion trend you’re loving right now - or one you’d love to bring back?
A: I’m currently enjoying how we’re going back to basics in terms of fashion right now… I mean the fact that being fully dressed/covered is appealing again makes me so happy.
​
Q: If you could collaborate with any designer or brand in the world, who would it be and why?
A: It would have to be Schiaparelli, I love that the brand is owned by a woman and her designs having an artistic flair and surrealism to them keeps me so intrigued.
​
Q: What’s one fashion rule you love to break - or think we should all ignore?
A: ’Keeping up with trends’ I means it’s fun and all, however it keeps people away from fully being authentic plus it’s not sustainable long term.
​
Q: Where can our readers follow your fashion journey next?
A: They can follow me on IG and TikTok
