Describe your style in 3 words

Cool, effortless, and unexpected.

What’s your go-to festival look?

I always go for something cute! Recently, I’ve been loving Kogal, which is a Japanese fashion culture style that involves girls and women wearing Japanese school uniforms. So, I’d definitely go for something cute and unorthodox like that for any kind of festival. It’s a perfect blend of innocent and promiscuous.

Who do you normally look to for inspiration?

I love looking through my Instagram Explore page to find inspiration. I even look at some of my favourite brands such as @nii.hai, @openyy_official, and @sculptor_worldwide.

What’s one fashion item you must have to complete your summer festival outfit?

A necklace is a must-have for me. At the moment, I’m loving necklaces from @gummedobeads – a brand I just collaborated with. 

What should people steer clear of when styling their outfits?

Personally, people should steer clear of anything knitted. If you’re thinking of going for long-sleeves then I’d suggest mesh as an alternative. Your outfit choice should be something you feel comfortable in and something airy because it does get a little humid and hot at these festivals.

Who do you normally look to for inspiration?

Kendall Jenner – I love how she wears clean silhouettes, but still slaying. She’s more into the “less is more” look and I’m here for it! I’m definitely into timeless looks but with added edginess.

What’s one fashion item you must have to complete your summer festival outfit?

Definitely a good pair of comfortable shoes! I’m a sneaker girl for life, and you’re gonna be doing a lot of walking and dancing on the festival grounds. So, comfort is key!

What should people steer clear of when styling their outfits?

I believe that individuality is important especially when expressing yourself through fashion. Fashion has no right and wrong, as long as they feel confident and it projects their character and personality – you’re winning.
