LuisaViaRoma caught up with Romania’s biggest fashion influencer on the streets of Florence to discuss all things fashion, beauty, and music.
What inspired you to start blogging?
To be honest, my blog started in college as a homework assignment when I was studying communication and PR, but it was always bound to happen. It was the perfect space to fuse together my two biggest passions – writing and fashion. Even before my blog was born I was an active user of sites like Lookbook, Chictopia, and Polyvore, all beautiful online fashion communities that encourage you to follow your passion.
What are your favorite brands and why?
Some of my all-time favorite brands are Saint Laurent, Alexandre Vauthier for the strong broad shoulder aesthetic and impeccable cuts, Versace for prints, and Balmain. I’ve recently fallen in love with Fanny Schiavoni’s metal mesh dresses for the party season.
What are your top 5 most played tracks?
Lenny Kravitz – Low
Depeche Mode – Enjoy the Silence
Michael Jackson – Liberian Girl
Drake – Passionfruit
Lana Del Rey – Summertime Sadness
What’s one city you’d love to live in?
Los Angeles, which I hope will be the next stop.
What’s your perfect outfit for a date night?
A little black dress, matte red lip and a-barely-there black sandal.
What are the must-have items for Fall Winter 2018?
An animal print floor-length faux fur coat, everyday wide-leg tailored trousers with a high waist (bonus points if they’re plaid), anything metal for the holiday season, sporty sunglasses and a knitted turtleneck.
What are your three favorite things about Italy?
That’s easy! The food, fashion, and breathtaking landscapes.
How and why did you decide to launch your swimwear brand?
INFSD swimwear was born out an elemental need for something more than just a triangle and a bikini to wear to the beach. I teamed up with my best friend and we dreamt of creating high-quality items that sculpt the body but can also be worn year-round with jeans and skirts. We’ve been designing swimwear for two years now, so it’s really been a dream come true.
What’s one beauty item you can’t live without?
My Foreo cleansing device. It changed my skincare routine and the way I cleanse. My life will never be the same!
