What does style mean to you?
Style is more than what you wear, it’s a way of life and how you communicate your personal story with the world. Style gives me the energy and confidence to express myself and be who I am.
How often do you update your wardrobe?
Probably every 6 months. I wear my outfits more than once. I mix vintage fashion trends with current trends.
Do you select slow over fast fashion?
Yes!. I always prefer quality over quantity and sustainable clothing which can last for a long time and has minimal impact on the environment. ‘Buy less, choose well’ is my motto when it comes to buying clothes. Maria FernandoA fashionista inspired by Melbourne’s art and culture scene
