What role does travelling, writing & fashion play in your life?
Traveling is a big part of my life because it’s a big part of my job. Currently I’m living between New York and Amsterdam, and do quite a lot of traveling in-between for jobs and meetings – it’s by far the best part of what I do, I love it so much! Writing is also a big part, because I do so every day on my blog. I love sharing my thoughts and inspirations! And in the end it all comes down to fashion, it’s what I love doing, it’s why I started all of this in the first place.
How did you start your website? What do love most about your job?
I started my blog as a side project a few years back. I was working in fashion, but not with fashion – and I felt I was missing something. One of my friends just started a blog and sort of convinced me to start one too. And so I did, very hesitantly and scared of what was gonna come because I didn’t know the blogging world at all. I never knew about the possibility of this growing into a fulltime job, but here I am!
What was one of the most exciting projects you have worked on so far?
I loved working as an ambassador for a few brands like Topshop. Also, I’ve recently worked with one of my faves in NYC: Calvin Klein. It’s a fantastic feeling to work with all those people you’ve been admiring for years.
TNC Fashion pick #2: Filippa K sweater www.thenextcloset.com
‘I’m all for wearing color these days, and this pretty number ticks all the boxes.’

Who or what is your source of inspiration?
Traveling mostly, I see so many different places and meet so many different people. Apart from that I also love flipping through magazines and attending fashion shows.
TNC Fashion pick #3: Kenzo skirt www.thenextcloset.com
Size: 38 Price: €115
How would you describe your style?
It’s a mix between the edgy New York style and the laid-back LA vibes. I dress to my mood, so it really depends on how and where I wake up, under what circumstances.
Ultimate dream?
To move to New York. It’s closer now than ever, and I’m already halfway there. Currently flying back an forth every month, working on my visa as we speak!
TNC Fashion pick #4: Balenciaga sneakers www.thenextcloset.com

Favorite Fashion Designer?
Nicolas Ghesquiere.
In what way are you conscious about recycling or sustainable fashion?
I love buying vintage, I absolutely don’t feel the need to buy something new every day. And I try not to buy at the big high street stores, since you never know where the clothing comes from and where they were made. Apart from that I do also give away a lot of my clothing.
If you could steal someone’s closet, who would it be?
Probably Olivia Palermo’s, she’s always on point.
Who would recommend for the next ‘Curated by’?
My friend Andy Torres, uber blogger and so inspiring and fun to hang out with.
