A: I think almost every girl is interested in Fashion from childhood but I began my obsession slowly. I started to notice how much time I spent drawing outfits in my notebook in the middle of classes from the age of 12.
I never studied it professionally but all of a sudden it was all I saw and all I thought about.
Q: Who are your favourite style icon(s)?
A: Rihanna and Grace Jones purely because of their ability to push the envelope and explore sexuality in fashion.
Tilda Swinton because of her androgynous and artistic look and style.
