TAKE A SHINE TO IT

Lit dresses in the literal

sense of the word

When model/DJ Harley Viera-Newton started

her clothing label, HVN, this year, fellow It-girls

like Alexa Chung and Margot Robbie flocked to

her silk slips and tea-dresses – and that was

before the self-confessed sparkle enthusiast

released a holiday collection in disco-shiny

metallic. Here, she chats New Year’s, the

perfect party outfit and hangover quick-fixes

DOLCE & GABBANA

the hvn girl

The dresses are made

to be worn to work, then

updated for evening with

a swap of accessories,

makeup or heels that she

has stashed in her bag.

favourite hvn

holiday piece

The Morgan Dress in silver

[below] because I’m a sucker

for anything that sparkles.

party dressing

I definitely have

fun with it. Even if

I’m wearing a day

dress, I’ll add

earrings, a bright

red lip or give my

hair some attention

(which is rare).

dj-ready shoes

When I first

started, I used to

give super-high

heels a go. Now

I’ve gone down

a couple of inches

and I’m all about

a block heel.

after-dark face

I love M.A.C Lipstick in

Ruby Woo – it goes with

everything. Or a liquid

cat-eye with glowy skin.

own too many

Knee-length dresses. And

too much gingham print.

wish list

Anything with Dolce &

Gabbana’s Bengal cat print

• I have a Bengal kitten
  and am a crazy cat lady.

label go-tos

Absolutely anything

Valentino. My friend has

a great label called Staud

that I love. Also, Trademark

for incredible accessories.

Le Labo Rose 31.

worst dj requests

“Can I charge my

phone on your laptop?”

while I’m DJing...

using my laptop.

dancing hotspot

Recently in Paris we went

to Le Montana, which was

loads of fun. And in New

York, there’s a party called

Tiki Disco that’s great.

best night to dj

New Year’s is always really

fun because everyone is

in the mood and we’re all

in sparkly dresses. It’s like

forced fun in the best way.

new year’s eve outfit

There’s a firework print

in the collection that I really

want to wear. I might have

to do some outfit changes

throughout the night to

show all the colourways.
