The biggest piece of advice I’d give my younger self: Less is more! *** My favourite era for design is – hands down – the ‘60s *** For a warm weather trip, I’d recommend lots of bikinis, beach kimonos, a sturdy beach bag, sunglasses and plenty of sunscreen! *** When it comes to changes in the fashion industry, I’d like to see more diversity in models, where agencies replace the clones of the past with a different roster and include people of all sizes, heights, and races. *** My style icons include Kate Moss, Twiggy, Audrey Hepburn and of course, Jackie O! *** Every woman should invest in statement jewellery. It is often the part of your outfit that most effectively conveys your distinctive style. *** I’m dying to splurge on more bikinis and swimsuits—I can’t get enough! *** The most treasured item in my wardrobe is a gorgeous linen boho poncho designed by Alekai that I purchased from Goa.
