TV personality and host of Project Runway Middle East shares her does and don’ts when visiting the city.
What is the key to looking confident in front of the camera?
Think about something that makes you happy for a natural smile and always have great posture. Finally, know the good angles of your dress!
What is your everyday uniform?
I have a favorite pair of J Brand jeans that I like to wear with a a white or black tee shirt and throw on a leather jacket on top.
2016 was …..for some reason stressful for all (it was a great year for me!)
What is your 2017 style resolution?
Wear more layering! I love simplicity but I’ve decided to be more experimental in 2017 especially with layering of corsets and shirts.
What is one trend you are excited to see take-off in 2017?
I’m loving the new trenchcoats – oversized with big buckles.
Your favorite new emerging designer (from LVR)?
How can I choose one? I love N21 for their jackets, Delpozo’s fitted coats, the rebellious VETEMENTS and L.G.R for sunglasses
One highlight from your time in Florence?
That would definitely be sitting on the same table as Andrea Boccelli and his wife at the gala then watching him perform one of my favourite songs ever live. A childhood dream come true!
I am currently listening to …
Losers – The Weeknd (feat. Labrinth)
Human – Rag’n’Bone
Friends – Francis and the Lights (feat. Bon Iver)
