When did your interest for fashion start? Mhmm, I have always loved fashion. I always wanted to dress myself since I was a little child. Fun fact is that I loved to wear jeans underneath my skirts as a little girl - which now is a huge trend, haha.

In what way does your mood affect the way you dress? It affects my style a lot. Some days I just feel like hiding under a cap and wear yoga pants with my boyfriends bomber jacket, and then I'll just do that. Sometimes I actually think it looks quite cool, haha.

When did you decide to study fashion? Studying fashion was a dream I had from a young age. I wanted to learn more in depth what the business existed of and all the hard work within the industry. A successful women within the industry of fashion told me that if I studied fashion I could almost do whatever I wanted in the industry. She convinced me and I decided to move to London and follow my dream.

Key item for this season? Pink and colorful straps for my bags! I was a girly-girl when I was younger. I always wanted a pink room and all I wore was pink at that time. I love that the colour is back for real now! My favorite is to mix it with leather pants and biker boots or fury loafers - the combination makes me feel much cooler. 

What trends and colours do you believe in for SS17? Pink, natural makeup and I love waist belts over jumpers and coats. Highlights your waist which I think looks beautiful and feminin.

Flats or heels? Flats!! I am a short person and I prefer keeping it that way. And I love strolling around so it's more comfy.

 Favorite items in your closet? Leather pants and definitely my bags. I adore my new edgy leather pants from Mango and Balenciaga. Whenever I put them on I always feel right dressed wether it is for a dinner out, grabbing a coffee or a day at the library. They are so comfortable, feels like sweatpants - wohoo. And well, my bags are my babies.

What do you never wear? Floral print. I love flowers, but on clothing I think it looks so cheap.

Where do you collect your inspiration? I collect a whole lot of inspiration trough my neighborhood in London and when I travel, witch I love to do. I love to mix styles from different cultures, and I must say Instagram is a huge inspiration as well. It's about combining your inspiration and making them your own.
