Eventually An Epiphany. I Wasn't Meant To Follow Everyone Else

'When I was young, I was awkward, overweight and insecure. I always quietly admired and envied all girls around me who were thin, fashionable and so confident. When I matured I worked on myself, lost weight and slowly gained the courage to try some of the current trends. I found myself disappointed that I still didn’t feel as confident as all the other girls...

Eventually an epiphany; I wasn’t meant to follow everyone else. I cleaned out my closet, purchased some budget friendly basics, invested in some higher-end timeless pieces and filled in the rest with some fabulous thrift finds and slowly found my style.

Style, to me didn’t come easily. It was a challenge, and well worth it. It shows others that you're a person of interest and that life is worth making the effort for. Style is inspiring.'

It Represents The Ebb And Flow Of The Piece

'Fashion is an extension of me, my mood and emotions so when I pick out my dresses for piano recitals and concerts it represents the ebb and flow of the piece. The pleats, folds, layering, stitching and color choice are extravagant, classy yet with punch and sensuality. The dress was made on the spot whilst doing the photoshoot for the front cover of my most recent album. The designer (Andrzej Pytel) brought down 40 metres of silk and started wrapping, folding, stitching, rouching and bunching with effects from where the wind blew until it became what it was.'

'As a young woman, I feel it's important that a dress should be tight enough to show your curves but loose enough to show you're still a lady. Fashion is more then being creative, it's a daily lifestyle that displays our personality and character. I always feel it's important for ladies to conduct themselves with class. My mood, my behavior and personality contribute to the level of class I display in what I wear. Fashion is meant to be creative, not competitive. Wear what you want, display how you feel, and live to inspire :-).'
