Briefly describe your personal style evolution.
When I was younger, standing out was important to me but now I want to invest in timeless, comfortable and epic pieces.
What was that moment when you knew that you were a stylist ?
I’ve always known I had an eye for it. I was the kid in school with the “s trange” out -fits but very proud of myself.
What are your tips for translating personal style for the off ice?
Be yourself but be respectful of the environment.
How can one channel their favourite celebrity’s style for events?
I don’t think people should. People should be comfortable in their own style and work on that. Celebrities themselves are styled and curated by a whole team.
Who is your favourite local designer and why?
I love Rich Mnisi, NicholasCoutts, Lukhanyo Mdingi, Thebe Magugu … I’m really enjoying the new generation and very proud of them.
