“Learn to forgive yourself. Strength is about letting go and moving on.” – Ezzati Amira
Ezzati Amira wears her heart on her sleeve, and marches to the beat of her own drum. She’s the first Stylish Woman to rock up on set on day one– “If you go first, you’ve got to set the bar high!” she exclaims– in rock-star shades and trackies, and her transformation from street-style cool to a vision of Schiaparelli’s elegance is effortless. The 29-year-old’s masculine approach towards femininity stems from her own defiance against the status quo. “As a woman and a designer, it’s important to have your own voice and know your self-worth,” she comments. “I’m always battling my own emotions, energy, and responsibilities, but I realise that it’s never about winning– it’s about embracing yourself.”
