Q&A
You never leave home without…
My phone.
What inspires and influences your style?
The people I see on the streets. I learn so much from them even though they don’t even know me. I look at people and places for fashion inspiration. Right now, I’m all about Italian fashion and culture. They’re amazing!
What are 3 basics you must always have?
Leather jacket, trendy sunglasses and a well tailored white shirt.
How would you describe your personal style?
It changes a lot depending on where I’m at. But I always stick to the same colour palette: grey, black and white. I would say I’m a minimalist. I’m all about the ‘key pieces’ and ‘quality over quantity’.
You always splurge on and you always save on…
I always splurge on haircuts and nails, but I blow-dry my own hair. I guess that makes it even.
Your fashion spirit animal would be…
The white fox.
What is your favourite outfit you have ever worn?
I don’t think I have one. I think it depends on time and place.
Your fashion motto is…
If you don’t like it, change it.
Your #1 style tip is…
Be yourself. Don’t try to be somebody you’re not.
