Aptly blending high fashion and art, Dina Broadhurst’s glamorous walk-in-wardrobe offers the very best of coveted couture and must-have accessorie­s where colour, compositio­n and cuts must always make a statement. Lined with the likes of Louis Vuitton, Michael Lo Sordo, Bottega Veneta and vintage Prada, Dina’s daily outfits are as extra as they are expensive, with just the right amount of skin on show. My favourite style takeaway? All white shoes! A clever way to ensure your accessorie­s always match.
