What’s the best thing about your job? Having the freedom to develop and execute my own ideas and see them come to fruition.
What’s your favourite piece of clothing? The flavour of the month at the moment is a cropped Isabel Marant black ruffled vest. I absolutely love it because I can wear it over an evening dress or even team it with jeans, flats and a floaty shirt (like today!).
What’s your favourite accessory? My ‘Willow’ lace-up, thigh-high, grey leather boots.
What’s the most expensive piece of clothing you’ve ever bought? A Prada wool jacket covered in gold rivets. It cost small fortune but it is absolutely divine – classic and timeless yet with an edge. Definitely the one piece I will hold onto and pass down to future generations!
What’s your worst fashion Faux Pas? Thinking back… probably wearing printed leggings, chunky socks and a baggy jumper in grade 6 – but surely it was fashionable at the time, right?!
Market or Malls? Both, for different finds. I love scouring markets just for fun and it’s so rewarding when you find that one gem, but I would probably do the bulk of my shopping in boutiques.
What do you love most about the world of fashion? It is so subjective and so I love seeing people’s interpretations of it. I also love how what you wear has the power to dictate your mood and change the way not only others see you, but how you see yourself. Fashion to me is like an un-spoken personal statement.
Any tips for students wishing to start their own business? As cheesy as it sounds, go with your gut and don’t be too scared to take some risks! Otherwise, you may always wonder “what if?”
