Hong_Kong_Tatler_September_2017

What do you always travel
with in fashion month?
Slouchy trousers by Haider
Ackermann. They double up as
travel and work-wear.

What is the fashion city to
watch?
Hands down, Los Angeles. It’s
incredible how much talent is
coming out of there right now.
Adaptation, Re/Done, Building
Block, Simon Miller, Nick
Fouquet, The Elder Statesman—
the list is endless. I’m also really
into South Korea at the moment
and I can’t wait to visit later
this year.

What on-screen aesthetic do
you love?
Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me
by David Lynch. I love how the
styling of the original series is still
relevant today.

If you could raid someone’s

closet (dead or alive), whose

would it be?

Stevie Nicks or Anita Pallenberg.

What advice do you have

about packing for fashion

month?

Plan ahead of time. I always try

not to over-pack, but this means

making lists prior to the start of

the season of what looks are

coming in and then coordinating

them beforehand.

What’s the one fashion rule

you always follow?

Make sure you can walk in heels

before you buy them—there’s

nothing worse than seeing

someone walk awkwardly in a

pair of stilettos.

What’s a fashion rule you like

to break?

I’m not sure what the rules are

these days but I’m a big fan

of clashing and mixing things

up—be it prints, colours or an

awesome skater-style hoodie

paired with big, bold

crystal earrings.

What item

can’t you

stop buying?

Inappropriately

high and very

colourful shoes.

What would you like to

change about the fashion

industry?

The ratio of female CEOs

to male.

What item of clothing would

you save in a fi re?

My grandmother’s old

Chanel jackets.

INSTAGRAM

ACCOUNTS

TO FOLLOW

TOP TREND FOR

FW2017?

The return of over-the-top

embellishments. Particularly at Mi Mi.

What is the shoe

of the season?

Those insane Saint

Laurent crystal

slouch boots.

If you could only

buy two items

this season, what

would they be?

A Sies Marjan pink

jacket and a Prada

feathered skirt.

Which collections are you coveting from FW17?

Calvin Klein, Halpern and Prada.
