BRAND
Heidi Slimane whether he is at Dior, YSL or Celine. He has the perfect cuts. For the basics I go for Acne.
FAVOURITE CITY
Part of my heart is in Italy, so Rome would be one favourite city. I often visit Paris to see my family, and always enjoy going to New York to get some inspiration. I spend my days walking around to see the different galleries and art shows.
