What do you want your style choices to say about you?

I want my style to say that I’m confident, creative and never afraid to take up space. That I know quality but don’t take myself too seriously. That I can spot a diamond in the rough — just like in my career as a model scout — and make it shine. My choices reflect a personality that’s bold, flexible and unafraid to evolve. I dress to express and impress, and every outfit tells a story, usually with a little twist.

What piece or item that you own is your favourite?

A vintage black leather army jacket I scored in Paris in the ’90s at the Clignancourt [flea] market [shown above]. It’s worn, weathered and completely iconic — like it’s lived a few lives before finding its way to me. That jacket sums up my style: rooted in history, a little rebellious and totally one of a kind. I love pieces that have a story, and I wear them like armour — with attitude.
