Q: How would you describe your personal style in 3-5 words?
A: Easy, clean but not boring.
Q: Where do you shop? Luxury or high street? New or vintage? Boutiques? Online?
A: I usually shop on high street, but I also enjoy browsing through vintage places as well.
Q: If you had $300 for a shopping spree, how many items would you buy?
A: I would probably buy a couple of more expensive quality things and another 3 or 4 smaller things like accessories.
Q: Do you prefer street style fashion or runway fashion?
A: I think I prefer street style because I can apply it to myself more... well at least for now.
Q: What do you splurge on? Skimp on?
A: I usually spend most on shoes and skimp on basics.
Q: When and how did you become interested in fashion, and where do you find your inspiration?
A: I can't say that I remember when exactly I got interested in fashion, but I had my first 'fashion show' when I was twelve ;D.
I usually look for inspiration on runways and think of ways I can use it for myself. I also love Pinterest, where I also store my ideas and inspirations.
Q: Who are your favourite style icon(s)?
A: I'd say it has to be Victoria Beckham, I love how confident she is and how anything and everything works for her. I also love Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's off-duty style.
Q: What are your favourite fashion blogs? Magazines?
A: I follow Susie Bubble: http://www.stylebubble.co.uk/
A Swedish blogger Angelica: http://angelicablick.se/
For magazines I have to say that I love i-D, Elle, Harpers Bazaar and of course Vogue.
Q: What do you love about fashion? Not love?
A: I love how it's so fast paced and hard to predict. It's just great how talented are the people that create it.
The thing I don't like is how it affects the younger generation...
Q: Your favorite designers & brands?
A: That's a tough question...well, I love Diesel for jeans and i appreciate good quality, Allsaints is my eye and hand-candy (I am that kind of a touchy person ;D)...although they don't use much colour I really appreciate all the textures and techniques they're using. I also like Zara as they change their stock very often and get the fashions of the runway down to the high street fairly quickly and the quality is not as bad as other affordable fashion retailers on high street.
If I think of runway fashion I'd have to say that one of my favourites would be Valentino as their collections have this royal vibe about them. I think BCBG Max Azria did a great job on their SS15 Ready-to-Wear, I love how ethereal the gowns are. Lucas Nascimento caught my eye after the LFW with his asymmetrical silhouettes, I'm looking forward to what he's going to bring next.
Q: Do you follow fashion trends? Which ones?
A: I am not too crazy about trends and fads which go away very quickly.
Q: Do you have any fashion rules when putting an outfit together?
A: I don't wear baggy on baggy or skinny all the way (unless it's a fitted dress).
Q: Which would you be best at? Worst at? (Stylist, Designer, Photographer, Buyer)
A: I imagine that I could be quite a good buyer as I am quite into the technical side of the fashion, but I wouldn't say that I would be a very good designer, I think I would enjoy buying. I also could be a photographer, I think.
Q: What is your dream job?
A: Well for now I think that I would like to help young emerging designers to break through to the fashion world, but we'll see what life brings.
Q: What are your other interests? How do you spend your spare time?
A: I am much into DIY (do it yourself). I enjoy editing my wardrobe, creating accessories and interior details. I feel good when I wear things I made myself, makes me feel proud.
