Fashion statement: “Mostly black with a hint of black and Dr. Martens”.
“Clothes are a real expression of the person and my mood gets affected by what I wear which is why you will rarely see me out of dark tones. I feel really awkward in colours.”
Personal style: “James bond fighting Sid Vicious over Gwen Stefani”.
Favourite buy of the past month: “Black military jacket from Max. I bought three of the same one to be on the safe side.”
Favourite store in Abu Dhabi: “I think if you know what your style is, it’s easy to shop anywhere from H&M to Hamdan centre… or even Giftworld. So long as you are selective, expensive doesn’t always equal good.”
Does Abu Dhabi have style? “Style over here seems to be only influenced by exactly what’s in the shops. There’s not much interpretation, although I think that’s changed in the 14 years I’ve been here. There are now a lot of people who have style and who like to mix it up a little.”
Fashion pet hates:
“Crocs, wide ties, t-shirts (with insane social comments printed on them), polo shirts, cycle shorts, women who buy the wrong size jeans, anything yellow or turquoise. Anything Versace or Cavalli.”
