MY STYLE
I like stylish yet practical pieces as I might have to be at a few different malls around the island on a workday. to me, retail is about the details and it has to be relevant, fun and interesting; I go for the same qualities when I pick out pieces. I appreciate playful details that pop and I would jazz up a corporate suit with statement shoes or a belt.
TRENDS I’LL BE TRYING
I’m inclined to be adventurous with textures and silhouettes, and will be on the lookout for wearable outfits in satin, silk, leather and pinstripes.
NEW AND NOTEWORTHY
Collaborations are a great way for businesses to reach out to larger audiences and increase their market share. Fortunately, the popularity of collaborations shows no sign of slowing down in the fashion world. In the past year, many innovative products have been released, and I look forward to more in 2020, particularly the capsule collections of Louis Vuitton and NBa (pictured, right), and Jordan Brand and Dior.
TREND THAT MUST END
Overly distressed jeans.

MY STYLE
Minimalist and functional. Black makes up 80 per cent of my wardrobe and the rest of it is navy, grey and, occasionally, white. I have more than 40 black t-shirts – I like the idea of a uniform.
