How would you describe your style? Classic and timeless. As I get older I find myself going back to classic items,like a little black dress with a blazer thrown over it,rather than following trends. My wardrobe is filled with pieces in neutral colours that I can mix and match. It’s about time management! But for special occasions I’ll go for a pop of colour,like a fluoro mini dress.
What are three essential items in your wardrobe? A black mini dress – I designed one with Atoir a couple of years ago that I wear to death. A black Wardrobe.NYC blazer. And Christian Louboutin “So Kate” stilettos;they’re a killer to wear but they make any outfit.
Who are your favourite designers? I love Camilla and Marc,Viktoria&Woods and Scanlan Theodore. We’re spoilt for choice in Australia.
What’s your favourite fashion era? Tom Ford for Gucci in the 1990s – it was simple,sexy and effortless. I love the blue silk shirts and that iconic red velvet suit Gwyneth Paltrow wore in 1996 and again in 2021.
What’s the oldest thing in your wardrobe? My J’Aton wedding dress. The oldest thing I wear would be my first luxury bag purchase – the Chanel “Wallet on Chain” bag. They’re both about 10 years old.
And the most recent addition? An ivory suit by Polish designer Magda Butrym – it has relaxed pants,an oversized blazer and bikini-style top. I’m a sucker for anything tailored.
What would you wear …
… on a first date? A black mini dress,boxy boyfriend blazer and strappy sandals.
… on a plane? I dress for comfort;I have worn denim and it doesn’t work. I love the Wardrobe.NYC leggings with the splits – they’re comfortable but you look put-together – worn with a T-shirt and a pair of Chanel “Dad” sandals.
… on the red carpet? Either Tom Ford or Mugler.
