Fashion statement: The rules don’t apply.
Describe your personal style: Still figuring it out but generally, it’s a mood, an attitude… and based on whatever’s clean at the time.
Fave buy of the past month: Easy! These crazy fluffy Topshop heels – they make me look like I have moustachioed feet (but in a stylish way, if that’s possible)
What are your fave stores in the UAE? Zara, H&M, Uterque, Nike… but I really like traipsing through old souqs and places like Global Village and Dragon Mart for stuff I know no one else will be wearing. Lately, as I’m so picky, I am making my own clothes.
Does the UAE have style? Sure, it’s getting there.
Do you have any fashion pet hates? When it’s blatantly clear that you’re trying too hard. Let loose – style should be easy and effortless.
