Style according to you is...

A reflection of the self. Your style is essentially who you are and what sets you apart from others.

Five items in your closet you can’t do without

A white cotton shirt, blue denims, a printed Azara scarf, cotton vests and leggings.

Most extravagant buy

An antique neckpiece set with polkis, emeralds and rubies that I bought as part of my trousseau.

What do you like to mix and match?

I love the combination of two extremes. I enjoy mixing the quirky with the simple, pop colours with neutrals and structured with soft silhouettes.

Your favourite shopping destination

Hong Kong and Milan are clear winners.

If money were no object, what would you add to your closet?

An unending supply of shoes from Jimmy Choo and Christian Lou-boutin along with all of fashion brand Lanvin’s latest.

The trend you are sporting at the moment

Military chic is the watchword for me.

Did you ever go through any wild fashion phase?

Oh yes, in college. It was a crazy phase of oversized shirts and skinny jeans and yes, bandannas. What was I thinking?
