I’ve been having so much FUN getting to know this lady. She has been so a delight to talk to and get to know through fashion. This Serbia Native has a sense of style that ranges from the UK to Greece. She is not only a fashionista but beautiful!!!! We were able to talk fashion through article because she is overseas but that didn’t stop her from taking the time out of her busy schedule to speak to me. Here is our interview.
1. How did you get into Fashion Industry?
I got into fashion accidentally . I have always been interested in fashion , mostly because of my grandmother who has been fashion lover, herself. Since I was a little girl she was styling me , later on dad continued to be someone who is picking out the most elegant clothes for me , and someone who has huge influence on my taste for fashion , even today… I got noticed by some people who work in fashion , through social media , and had offers to do styles for events and photo shoots. Some of them were from US , and since I’m based out in Europe-Serbia , we did online styling.
2. How do you describe your style of fashion?
My personal style I would describe as very simple , but elegant. I like blazers very much , which can make a simple outfit look elegant , and simple dresses that compliments women’s figure.
3. Who inspires you in the fashion industry?
There are very few people in the industry who inspire me , and who’s fashion ideas I can say that I like all the time. One of those very few people are Victoria Beckham , Kim Kardashian (her stylist Monica Rose ) and a woman ,which I consider one of the best dressed women , is definitely Jelena Karleusa. I’m guessing most of the people do not know who Jelena is , but in last few weeks all world media were talking about Kim K copying her style. I would not really agree with those “copying” rumors , but there are definitely , a lot of similarities in their style.
4. Because you are in the UK what styles that you see that trend both in UK and in America?
The latest fashion trends are trending in both UK and US, but also in Serbia as well. Edgy, R&B type of style is one of the styles that you can see a lot in both countries…Also , two pieces style… I feel like that is taking over the world lol.
5. What is the difference in style between UK and America?
Styles in Serbia and America at the same time are very different , but then again very similar. I would describe style in Serbia as more simple and less experimenting , but trendy. Variety of clothing stores and labels in USA , which we do not have here , allows people in the USA to be much more different and edgy. Also, the amount of people who listen hip hop and rap music, for example, is a lot smaller , so automatically , you will not see many people who dress in that type pf style.
When it comes to the style in UK , I must say that UK style is one of my favourites. They like to experiment a lot , to be edgy , to wear pieces that in theory are not matching at all , and make it look simple and fun to wear. To me , London is one of the best places where you can shop. UK is very expensive , but then again when it comes to shopping , there are so many cool affordable stores, with many interesting pieces.
6. As a fashion stylist, do you feel that there is a drought in creativity in styling?
I think that at some point every person that is creative will run out of inspiration , but that is nothing big or serious that can cause a drought in the process of making. Personally , I have days when I’m not 100% sure which items and how , would I want to style, I do not get a vision of finish product right away , which creates a mess in my head and billion styling options ,which I end up hating , so the best cure is just to step away for a minute , and it will all become clearer.
7. What is the difference between a stylist & a fashion shopper?
There are a lot of jobs that stylist in fashion, can do. You can be personal stylist , wardrobe stylist , fashion stylist… Fashion stylist is someone who supplies the clothing for photo shoots or videos , often borrow clothes from designers, style models , do fittings , etc… Personal shopper is someone who usually works for a store , and help you pick out clothes to buy. Also, sometimes they will prepare items in advance for you , so you can arrive to a full dressing room.
8. When you take a personal day for yourself what is your go to clothing to relax in?
The clothes that I feel most relaxed in , are definitely some nice pair of comfy leggings and some oversized,cute sweater or a T-shirt.
9. What is your TOP 5 fashion stylist that you look up to?
My #1 must be Monica Rose. I also like style of , Louise Roe, Ty Hunter (Beyonce.’s stylist) , Anita Patrickson and Mel Ottenberg (Rihanna’s stylist).
10. How can people contact you in the UK for styling tips or personal styling?
