If you could dress anyone in the world, who would it be? I've thought about this question a lot, and there isn't one person who I can single out. I admire so much about so many people (the glass is always half full).
What is the most treasured item in yourwardrobe? The definition of item means three separate ones, right?! An amazing vintage aviator jacket that is an ochre suede with silk lining and a cream shearling collar, which I found for $38 at a secondhand store; my vintage black aviator leather jacket - also secondhand for $52, and an oversized burnt-orange anorak with a black waist cord. I'm a jacket kind of gal.
What is favourite item from your current collection? The adjustable apron dress. It's simple, classic, easy to wear and the minimalist design is perfect for layering. Throwing on over simple tunics or even over trousers with a plain tee - its adjustable shoulder straps give more variety for styling options, whether they're worn crossed over or straight. This dress teamed with classic red lips is my definition of a million dollars.
What did your school report card say? "Brooke is a cheerful student. Brooke shows great empathy towards her classmates. Brooke would do well if she applied herself more in class. Brooke is disruptive to the class. Brooke shows great enthusiasm towards class discussions when she comes to class."
Growing up excruciatingly shy, with no confidence and a somewhat insane drive to become all things great, made me determined to do what I wanted, and do what I wanted all of the time!
