Describe your style.
My style depends on my mood. It’s very simple but I always add things to make it different, like accessories. The whole point is to be different and not follow trends.
What do you have on now?
Well, today I’m pretty simple. Usually, I would wear something pretty flashy or something that doesn’t match perfectly. I bought the sweater and the leggings [in Montreal] but the boots I ordered online from New York.
Where do you shop?
I like ordering online. There is a website in Europe called asos.com. And in the States it’s shopbop.com. In Montreal, I really like Influence U on Mackay and Ste. Catherine. They carry everything. There is also BluMarine on Greene Avenue.
Piece of clothing you can’t wait to buy?
A beige winter jacket in a nice peacoat style.
Piece of clothing you can’t wait to throw out?
You don’t have to throw out everything, but don’t wear white pants after Labour Day!
What do you consider a fashion faux-pas?
Matching too much. When your shoes match your purse and your jacket [and so on]. When it’s all black it’s fine but otherwise…
What’s your fashion philosophy?
Just dress how you feel.
Do you have style icons?
Well, I like 1960s clothes a lot but for now, I would say Kate Moss.
