Unlock your style with Reserve Citrine & Canary.

Can you share your earliest memory that made you realize, "I want to be a stylist"? Was there a particular experience that confirmed this was the right career path for you?

My first styling assistant job was with Givenchy and BSTROY and it really made me realize I wanted to be a stylist - being under pressure and in a stressful environment invigorated me. I love seeing my mental visions come into a physical space, bringing a vision to life is very fulfilling. I love being in a collaborative space and working with people and helping my clients feel confident.

How do you differentiate between style and fashion, and how significant is each to you?

I think style is inherent and personal - it is also strategic. Fashion is very broad and can be perceived as anything. Your fashion might not be my fashion and we all have our personal style.

What was your creative process when styling and curating the looks for Reserve Citrine and Canary? What do you love most about these watches?

I love the pigmentation of the diamonds - they were super yellow and orange, it helped me gauge how to style the rest of my outfit. The watches were so bright and so I wanted my outfit to match their eccentricity. Kai and I both wore a lot of color.

What's your next goal in the world of fashion?

I really want to help style and design a look for the Met gala!
