The one thing I can’t leave home without is my Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso watch. It was a gift from my father as a reminder that time is limited and to think big. 2 My all-time favourite fashion film has got to be Funny Face. I adore Audrey Hepburn’s mix of show-stopping red gown, high-neckline wedding dress, and classic 1950s skirt suit and jacket combos. 3 When it comes to my everyday look, I tend to go for a natural approach with blush, mascara, and a soft pink lipstick. My must have make-up product is the MAC powder blush in Melba, for a pop of colour. 4 I swear by Nars Powermatte Lip Pigment because it stays on longer than any other matt lipsticks I’ve tried on. The Rich Berry Pink shade is highly pigmented and glides on smoothly on my lips. 5 Barcelona is my most favourite city in the world. I enjoy its insane diversity of culture, food, people, architecture, and entertainment. Above all, I love the breathtaking La Sagrada Familia. 6 I’m really into this season’s throwback to the ’60s and ’70s. As a vintage collector, you’ll see me wear streamlined suits, big sharp-collared shirts, and funky prints. 7 My current fashion obsession is a Balmain green sequin cut-out piece. The new take on its design with sequins just elevates the entire piece. The highlight? Its waist-high leg slit. 8 La Mer The Revitalizing Hydrating Serum is my holy grail as it is super hydrating for my dry skin. 9 I’m drawn to Lanvin Eclat D’arpege Eau Spray, a best-kept secret of mine since I was 16. The fragrance is both sultry and sweet which lasts all day. 10 A designer that I admire is none other than Han Chong, the founder of the label Self-Portrait. His creations make for a fantastically feminine and elegant style but always with an element of surprise.
