How many pairs of shoes do you own?
This is such a hard question! I never really count my shoes buy maybe around 50 pairs? That includes sneakers and sandals too!
What part of your job do you enjoy the most and why?
I get to meet people from around the world. Looking back 5 years ago, I wouldn’t imagine having friends around the world. I feel this is a very rare opportunity and I cherish this deeply!
What does fashion mean to you?
It is a way to express oneself. It is a media to showcase your taste and style to the world.
What were the highlights of your trip to Madrid?
Flamenco dance! It was my first time in Spain and obviously my first time watching a flamenco performance in my whole life!! It was such an amazing experience.
How would you compare fashion in Madrid to fashion in Jakarta?
The difference would be the cultural background behind our countries. It always affects how people dress up in a particular city or country. I love how people in Madrid always dress up nicely but at the same time look very effortless!
