Tell us a bit about you
I’m a freelance fashion stylist, designer, and content creator with over 14 years of experience in the industry. My work is deeply rooted in creative expression, blending styling, design, and storytelling to bring unique visual concepts to life.
What are your favourite fashion trends for 2026?
I’m loving the shift toward texture and fabric play—elements like lace and fringing are really standing out. These have always been a source of inspiration for me. I’m also drawn to the resurgence of 1920s-inspired silhouettes, which bring a beautiful sense of structure and elegance to modern styling.
Are you a silver or gold girl?
Can I say both? I love using silver to add an edge to a look, while gold brings a softer, more feminine feel. It really depends on the mood and styling direction.
Favourite jewellery trends for winter?
I’m really enjoying the move toward chunkier pieces with interesting cuts and sculptural forms. The use of natural stones is also a standout—it adds depth, texture, and a sense of individuality to each piece.
What is the best jewellery styling tip you can give our audience?
Use jewellery as a way to elevate a minimal outfit. It’s the perfect tool to add interest and personality. Don’t be afraid to stack pieces to create boldness and showcase your creativity.
What is your signature jewellery look for a night out?
For a night out, I like to keep things refined by focusing on one statement piece—either bold earrings or a standout necklace—while keeping everything else simple and understated. This approach always creates a polished, luxe finish.
