What key style lessons did you learn from working as a fashion editor for 15 years?
That you will always look better in something if you feel comfortable in it. Also, personal style doesn’t mean slavishly following trends—it’s about having the confidence and the choice to decide how you wish to present yourself. And if you feel great, that’s never wrong!
Do you have any rules when it comes to posting on Instagram?
I post once a day, usually in the evening. But I’m interested in starting conversations or having something to say, so I try to make sure there’s a reason for me posting something.
You’ve addressed the issue of body image in your posts before. What advice would you give to women who are struggling with this?
There’s real power in accepting who you are right now—not the person you’ll be if you put on weight, lose weight, tone up, grow your hair or straighten your teeth. It’s also important to remember that no one’s life is as perfect as their Instagram!
