@P@ 1 THE TREND TO DITCH: “Cut-outs are lovely (sometimes) but tricky. Wearing them around your upper midriff and décolletage is great, but the ones on the love handles: only 0.01 per cent of us are going to rock that. Especially if you’re going out for dinner. Any trend where you can’t have a three course meal and seven tequilas, I’m not that interested in. I want to be able to have fun in my clothes.” WHO’S GOT THE KILLER WARDROBE? “Victoria Beckham – I reckon she shops a lot and has vintage [ designer] Alaïa. Nicole Richie has some edgy pieces, I don’t know if I could rock it but I admire it.” WHO SHOULD WE FOLLOW FOR #FASHSPO? “Bloggers like Margaret Zhang and Sara Donaldson from Harper & Harley. Designers, too – [ local designers] Dion Lee, Manning Cartell – and I’m not just saying it because I’m in Australia, I am genuinely obsessed.” WHAT WILL WE BE WEARING THIS YEAR? “A lot of trends are carrying over – the ’90s is still big, so keep buying your Levi’s and chopping them up; white sneakers, too. I thought neon was gone, but it’s not – look to Mara Hoffman and go a little tribal-inspired. Hats are huge – whether it’s your summer boater or a straw hat. And finally, pompoms! On bags, shoes or hats – you can clip them on and update what you already have in your wardrobe.” Dress: $799, Manning Cartell (manningcartell.com.au). Top: $449, Manning Cartell (manningcartell.com.au). Pants: $79.95, H&M (hm.com/au). Shoes: $259, Senso (senso.com.au). INTERVIEW BY MEL EVANS. STYLING BY CHARLOTTA BACKLUND.
