Can you tell us about your role at the company and how you got started in the fashion industry?
I am a stylist and client development assistant at Parlour X. My passion for fashion led me to pursue a Bachelor’s degree in Fashion Business with a focus on Global Brand Management. That career journey began with a 10-month internship at Christian Dior while completing my degree. After graduation, I sought a full-time role in the luxury space where I could deepen my industry knowledge, which led me to Parlour X!
What inspires your personal style and fashion choices in the workplace?
My style is heavily influenced by my French heritage, reflecting a classic and sophisticated Parisian aesthetic. I gravitate towards a lot of black and timeless silhouettes, often enhancing simple pieces with statement accessories like bold shoes, bags, or belts. Working with unique fashion pieces has encouraged me to experiment and step outside my comfort zone, broadening my style perspective.
How do you navigate the balance between expressing your personal style and adhering to the company dress code?
I maintain my personal style at work by incorporating pieces I enjoy wearing outside of the office. I favour suits, elegant ensembles, and often opt for heels, ensuring my professional attire reflects my individual taste while aligning with the company’s dress code.
Can you share any go-to fashion staples or pieces that you rely on for a polished and professional look?
Essential pieces for my polished look include a classic black blazer and a golden chain belt, which I often layer over trousers or dresses to add a refined touch.
How do you transition your outfit from a day at the office to a work-related evening event or function?
If I’m heading out to a dinner or soiree after work, I typically elevate my look with a pair of heels and a quick makeup touch-up, allowing me to seamlessly adapt from day to night.
How would you describe your off-duty look?
My off-duty style mirrors my work wardrobe, as I enjoy dressing up and often find myself the most formally dressed in casual settings. I consistently opt for heels and a classic style, reflecting my preference for sophistication even in relaxed environments.
What is on your Parlour X Wishlist and why?
On my Wishlist are the balloon jeans from both Alaïa and Awake Mode, which I find incredibly versatile and stylish. I’m also drawn to the Alaïa heart bag, which combines charm with practicality for everyday use. Additionally, the Dries Van Noten burgundy cut-out heels captivate me with their striking elegance.
