 My look tells about my personality in terms of confidence, refinement, and iconism. The way I present myself through my style exudes confidence, as I believe in embracing my unique fashion choices. Refined is another aspect of my style, as I gravitate towards polished and sophisticated pieces that showcase attention to detail. Lastly, my style can be described as iconic, as I aim to incorporate timeless and statement-making elements into my outfits.

What are the essential qualities when it comes to a “timeless” fashion piece?


I believe a timeless fashion piece encompasses simplicity, comfort, and enduring quality. It should also have lasting quality, allowing you to dress it up or down as you please while still looking effortlessly elegant. By embodying these key qualities, it can truly withstand the passage of time and become a beloved part of your wardrobe.

 

How do you define whether a piece is comfortable, e.g. material and cutting?


I feel like the material of a piece really affects how comfortable it is. It shouldn't be tight or restrictive but should give a laid-back and cozy fit instead.

In my everyday life, I make sure to choose cruelty-free items so that no animals are hurt or mistreated for my clothes and accessories.
