I’m really loving fashion editor for Wonderland magazine Julia Sarr-Jarmois. She recently gave some styling advice and more to Top Shop, let’s check out what she has in her ipod,clothing style and more!
My style signature is… mixing loads of different things together, textures, prints, colours. I like looks to be bold, but still fun.
The SS12 show that blew me away was… Meadham Kirchhoff, the collection was beautiful and there were dancers that made the whole thing feel uplifting. I smiled the whole way through.
The one piece I saw on the SS12 catwalks that I have to have… are the Prada flame sandals. They’re amazing. You couldn’t help but smile when you caught a glimpse of your feet in them.
For a piece to be chosen as part of my EDIT… it has to be fun! I like colours and prints to be bold and unusual, even exaggerated, matched with interesting or unexpected textures.
My biggest influence right now is… Romy Schneider. I’ve been researching a lot of old films recently for an upcoming shoot, and I’m obsessed with Clouzot’s L’Enfer, and more specifically Romy’s character, Odette.
If I could go back to any era… I’d love to live in ancient Egypt. I could definitely hang out with Cleopatra, wear lots of gold and have lots of cats.
Growing up I wanted to… run a sweet shop
My earliest fashion memory is… attending a Chanel couture show aged 13. A family friend invited me, knowing how much I loved fashion. I’ve still got the invitation.
My all time favourite designers are… Azzedine Alaia, Miuccia Prada & Elsa Schiaparelli. Alaia’s clothes are amazing. When you wear one of his pieces you instantly feel like a 90s super model. I was lucky enough to visit him in his studio in Paris and he’s a real artist.
Julia’s SS12 Styling Tips…
Clash your stripes!
Layer different shade of pastels.
Wear bold statement shoes.
Go for bright and printed socks.
Invest in accented accessories.
