Vanessa loves a balance of colours that pop with the right focal accessory. The neutrals, paired with the chartreuse and red, give her charm, which she always resonates. -
This is a hyper-styled look that plays with complimentary colours, with a mini purse that doesn’t take away from the feel of it all. Vanessa imagines herself in Amsterdam with this look, projecting her deep love for Dutch design. -
arianne_pollet-brannen-4 -
Arianne is one quirky lady and her drama is a careful balance of “almost over the top” meets “of course this makes sense.” The barrage of patterns all comes together in layering, sandwiched between the neutral top and focal shoe. It is always about the shoe with Arianne. -
Arianne is one quirky lady. Her drama is a careful balance of “almost over the top” meets “of course this makes sense.” This is a statement piece with its brilliant colouring and structure, balanced with a basic top. -
matt_lu-4 -
Matt Lu is a clean cut, classically styled gentleman. He loves his basics, inspired by Club Monaco and Calvin Klein. This look is perfect with its pop-colour belt, simplicity with clean lines. -
Matt is a clean-cut, classically styled gentleman. The gradient layering of deepening V’s paired with a basic denim and plaid jacket makes this look easy to throw together. -
matt_peach-4 -
Matt is a confident style master with charisma to pull off the most daring looks. Here, street style meets high fashion: The patent teal shoe and bright blue socks compliment the McQueen cotton print scarf, against the tie-dye skinnies. -
Matt Peach is a confident style master with charisma to pull off the most daring looks. This revised take on a classic Edwardian look just had to be re-created, because he already had these items in his wardrobe. That is serious dedication to building a wardrobe. -
julia_grummitt-4 -
Julia sheepishly mentioned her secret love for Sex and The City. The giant flower headband, which we devised, paired with the vintage parasol and cape brings out her inner Carrie. -
Julia has a natural flare for effortlessness in her style. Throwing together varied colours, neutralized with the solid accessories, makes a look that channels boyish charm.
