*Describe your personal style
I’ve lived in the same pair of Levi’s for almost a decade. I make it work with the shoes. I‘m practical like that. I like prints and flowy tops. No baby tees, I feel trapped in the 90’s. And I constantly hide behind huge sunglasses.
*I build my daily look around the person that I’m going to meet/probably bump into.
At work however I live and breathe black and grey pants with black/grey/brown/white shirt. Even my baju kurung for work has to be in somber colors.
I meet people all day long. It’s hard to be taken seriously when you are probably dressed like;
1. Their moms going to kenduri kawin;
2. A sixteen year old.
I dress to avoid distraction. No bling or labucci or loud print tops. Tapi kan…I find that now I draw more attention as I’m the one in black top to toe five days a week.
*Personal Style quirk
Quirk? No quirks.
*Favorite designers
Azzedine Alaia
*Most cherished item
Jimmy Choo bag Mummy bought me.
*I feel best wearing?
A crispy white shirt and killer heels. Pants are optional.
*The first thing I look at in another Sartorialist’s outfit...
No first thing. I soak in everything at first glance. I remember what Sweets wore the first time I saw her. I have the same top.
*I always break this fashion rule...
Are there rules in fashion? I mean Carrie Bradshaw wore a bird on her head for gossake.
*I never break this fashion rule...
No rules.
*Never caught wearing?
Carrot cut jeans/Bleached denim
*Most underrated item in menswear/womenswear?
Socks. I love socks. I have a whole drawer of socks.
*Dress to impress who?
You know when people say the dress up to impress men? It’s a lie. They dress up for other women. They undress for men.
*Shine your own shoes?
Nope. If they don’t shine, it’s time to get new ones.
*Favorite stores?
Guess? boutique.
A cheaper version of the designers. If Gucci has it, you can bet Guess? has it.
*Your next “must have” purchase?
Jill Stuart sunglasses.
*I only buy __________ in Europe.
what is cheaper over there.
I’ve been there twice y’know?
*I skimp when buying …
Clothes for vacation. They probably go missing anyway. Or ruined.
*I splurge on…..
Shoes and bags.
*Favorite item of clothing
Those jeans.
*Guilty pleasure
Expensive shoes I don’t need that leave me broke. I have never bought one pair of shoe. I always buy at least two. I have no idea why. I don’t feel happy with just one pair.
*Cologne, skincare
I have three dozen fragrances on rotation. I wish for Crème Brule by Laura Mercier.
My entire skincare is an Indonesian product recommended by my auntie living over there. There has been no turning back.
*Most stylish city (Milan, Paris, London, New York, other)
I’ve only been to Milan, Paris and London. I’ll decide when I’ve been to New York.
*When I was high school I wore?
Uniform. Only splurged on bags. The entire school was into UCB and Guess?. The entire collection was on display at our school. I had 2 UCB and 1 Guess? bag during my entire high school career.
*Sports?
No thanks.
*Favorite fashion magazine?
I love the fashion magazines D brings home. Eclectic and almost filled with thrashed. And a lot of nudity.
*Favorite vacation spot?
Capetown, South Africa and Dahab, Egypt.
*Favorite neighborhood restaurant?
Restaurants in my neighbourhood suck. I drive out a bit for some good food.
