“My OOTD (Outfit of the Day) is characterized by being vogue and fashionable. It is a type of statement to make oneself look smart and striking. I love colors which are not extravagant, something that relates to being casual in a not-so-casual way. My wardrobe is a symbol of style. I make a statement of my own by the clothes I wear. Most of the time, I create my own fashion style. I do not follow traditional norms and make a path for myself. The unconventional form of art leads me to innovate and tap into very many interesting trends in fashion.”

Here are Maria Paula’s style tips:

■ The sphere of fashion is filled with different styles and trends to choose from. You should make use of these and help yourself stand out in the crowd.

■ Explore your style and bring it out for people to see and find out who you really are and what your personality is.

■ It is more interesting if someone has a mix of styles, rather than just one style. You could have one main style, and then add elements from various different styles in subtle ways to your main style.

■ Make sure to choose well-tailored and stylish designs that are classy.

■ Show off your best features.
