I try to find the good fashion shows during various fashion weeks, but when I can’t make it to shows, I actually [laughs] spend a lot of time on Vogue.com, going through all the amazing runway photos that they have. I also follow my favorite brands on social media—and what was the second part of the question? Just going back to the brands—I mean, I’m excited to see new brands coming through. I’m excited for young up and coming entrepreneurs and designers, for people who are putting sustainability at the forefront, for young Black designers that perhaps in the past were overlooked, and for young British designers. I’ve also been plant based for the last six years, and I know that not every brand in the fashion space is environmentally conscious—the industry as a whole is still quite a big contributor to pollution.
For me, though, fashion is about freeing yourself—it’s about self expression it’s about you it’s about slowly, over time, evolving and learning more about yourself and what you like and how you want to show up—how you want to be seen. What makes you feel great? It’s a great feeling when you put on a piece of clothing and throw your shoulders back and are just like I feel great today. That’s what fashion does. Chanel’s two tone pumps have stood the test of time. First introduced by house founder Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel in 1957 – who described the footwear as “the last point of elegance” – the style remains a firm favorite among the fashion set more than 60 years on, as proven by Rihanna, who recently wore a pair for an outing West Hollywood.
