Who is your favorite fashion designer?
I am hugely bias to New Zealand designers. We are spoilt for choice and the fabrics are beautiful. I love: RUBY, Stolen Girlfriends Club, twentysevennames, Miss Crabb, Kate Sylvester and Juliette Hogan.
What is your favorite food?
I am a massive foodie. Anything fresh, organic and locally sourced. I love seafood. I could eat fresh oysters everyday of the week.
What is your favorite song on the radio right now?
Adele just dropped her new tune ‘hello’ and it is phenomenal!
Tell us about your favorite shoes?
I own far too many pairs of ankle boots. They are my staple piece with every outfit and can be worn causally or more formal.
Tell us about your personal style, any signature pieces?
My go to pieces are always good underwear and a good pair of ankle boots. I build on an outfit from there. I dress dependent on how I am feeling and often change outfits two to three times a day. I have always been this way because often what I choose in the morning is no longer reflective of how I’m feeling in the afternoon. Also, the weather in Auckland where I hail from is insane. There are always four seasons in a day so it is habit.
What is your favorite movie?
I have so many, it is always difficult to choose one! Once Upon a time in the West is certainly one of my favorite films and I am currently about to direct my first film, which is a Western, so am feeling very influenced by that film as of late.
Do you know any god Game of Thrones Gossip?
No. They’d have my head!
Tell us about your most memorable day on the set.
My first day was so nerve-wracking and exciting. I am such a huge fan of the show so was just blown away by the fact that I was there. The cast and crew were so welcoming of us and I am so happy to be apart of such an epic show.
Any words of wisdom for the RUNWAY readers?
Make sure you like you first and foremost, the rest will fall into place. Eat a balanced diet. Laugh with loved ones. Smile and try not to be an asshole.
