What is the one piece you're most excited to wear this season?
“I'm loving these Rue du Mail furs that I have. They're just so beautiful and special and I've never worn anything so beautiful — it's like art. So for me, it's about these Rue du Mail pieces.”

You have a lot of special designer items! Do you only wear a designer's current season, or do you not care about that?
“No, I don't believe in throwing away fashion, which is why I like designers like Céline and Rue du Mail, and I feel like there's a lot of longevity in pieces and I really love pieces that still are really bright colors but I'm not at all interested in like, just throwing it away every season; I find that to be so wasteful. For me, I love pieces that you can mix in season after season and play around with new things and vintage things — see a lot of the pieces I'm wearing here are from last season and I just like to mix it up. But I think it's really about confidence and that's maybe why I love those young girls because I think you can make anything look amazing. I don't care if you're wearing Prada or Primark (you don't have Primark here, but it's like Forever 21), if you feel really amazing in that piece, you can wear it time and time again in different way and I think that's what's exciting about fashion.”

Describe your style in your own words.
“Classic with a twist, with a pop of color. Like, for instance, that Christopher Kane, I love that it's a super beautiful classic cut but then it's neon. So I love classic cuts, but with a pop or a twist, like a really eccentric or loud shoulder, like a fur or a big, colorful hat — but keeping it always quite classic and clean. I like intelligent-sexy dressing.”
