What is your go-to everyday outfit?
At the moment, a baby tee and denim jeans!
What does your daily beauty and exercise regime look like?
I have a 5 step skincare routine which differs morning & night that I combine with various supplements and liquid collagen. It's something I really enjoy doing! Exercise is a different story...I have not moved a muscle since November 2021 haha. I've been away a lot and find it really hard to be disciplined with this whilst travelling! Once I am out of my 14 day home quarantine, I'm hoping to get right back into reformer pilates, daily walks and yoga.
What are your favourite beauty products / what are your essentials?
Ultra Violette 50+ Sunscreen, Dior Lip Oil, Hourglass Blush, Refy Highlight, Klorane Dry Shampoo, and Tanologist Face and Body Drops.
Who are your favourite fashion designers?
At the moment I am obsessed with Kim Jones at Fendi / Dior, Simon Porte at Jacquemus, Marcleo Gaia at Mirror Palais, and Valentina Muntoni from Rat and Boa.
What has been the highlight of your career so far?
Working with high end luxury designers always feels like a dream. So far I have been able to work with brands such as Dior, Bvlgari, Louis Vuitton, Fendi, Bottega Veneta, and YSL. I don't think I'll ever get used to the feeling of working with such incredible product.
What are your top 5 wardrobe staples?
It depends what season we're in...but generally speaking denim jeans, white tee, black blazer, trench coat, black turtleneck.
What does a day in your life look like?
Every day is so different for me, but I love to wake up around 5am to give myself at least 2 hours in the morning for self care and to set up my day. Depending on what I've got on I alternate between shooting content, collaborating on creative projects, events, and working on a business I'm aiming to launch at the end of the year. In the evenings I love cooking, spending time with family, and going out to dinner with friends.
What is one piece of advice you would give to someone wanting to start their career in fashion?
Network! Like any field, it's important to work for free initially not only to gain experience, but build connections. Focus on networking, and creating genuine, long lasting friendships and relationships. Regardless of where you want to be in the industry, you will be surprised how many people will be willing to help you get there.
