“This look is an ode to my inspirations: Kenzo, Galliano and Lacroix. I’m wearing a bustier I picked up at a dress sale at Les Rotondes, paired with a Japanese pleated underskirt by IYD, a nod to the audacity of Comme des Garçons, and a Moroccan caftan in homage to my origins. A vintage pearl bag and Christian Lacroix pumps complete this elegant silhouette.”
Business

“Mixing prints is a real game for me. I combine a Japanese jacket, a Karl Lagerfeld shirt, a 90s tie and a black skirt, all enhanced by my transparent mesh Louboutins. The centrepiece? An extravagant vintage bag, which really works like a telephone. Once again, all the pieces that make up this look are secondhand, except for the shoes: one of my best investments.”
Party

“For me, a party rhymes with glitter! My choice? Marc Jacobs leather shorts, a Sisley jacket and a necklace with a gold bib from Lisbon. My transparent Azurée ankle boots add a touch of glamour, as does the velvet bag from the 1970s. An outfit that’s true to my mantra: cheap but chic.”
Casual

“I call it my ‘effortless, but flirty’ outfit. Even for a quick jaunt, I never go out without a touch of colour. Most of the pieces in my wardrobe are secondhand, which allows me to support small local designers, like this kimono by Pièce Unique, a talented designer from Metz. In a nod to my lazy day, I’ve turned the belt into a turban to tame my hair. I completed the look with vintage Levi’s 501 jeans--an essential in my wardrobe--velvet ballet flats, a leather mini-bag and a plexi earring for the finishing touch.”
Afterwork

“Chic, fun, colourful and full of joy, this outfit is totally in my image: an iconic 501 from a give box, an Escada sun-blazer from PardonMyCloset, an XXL shirt from the Philharmonie and a wax tie from Saladany in Esch. I love these Carven pumps, which I found on Vinted. With the exception of the jeans and tie, everything is secondhand--proof that you can’t put a price on elegance!”
