A conversation with Vivere's founder
Heels or flats?
Flats generally, heeled boots if I need to feel a bit more boss lady
Vintage or new?
I love vintage for special details particularly in the design process and the unique nature of it but generally contemporary design appeals to me more and more.
Style icon?
Carolyn Bessette
Favourite piece of clothing you own?
A black long line blazer from Chloe that was a gift from my sister years ago. It elevates everything I wear underneath it and was the inspiration for creating my brand, Vivere, with a focus on tailoring. It can be so empowering
And jewellery?
I love the Ysso for statement, Otiumberg for every day
What’s your signature scent?
Eccentric Molecule 1
Who inspires you?
all of the incredibly strong and creative women I am surrounded by at work and home. Female resilience and determination really fuels my fire. I love warrior spirit in women that is infused with so much love and a fierce desire to connect and nurture.
Print or plain?
plain
Museum or art gallery?
museum because you get the best of both worlds
Favourite beach?
There’s a white pebble beach on Anti-Paxos that is only accessible by boat. We go there with a picnic in the summertime and the water is almost fluorescent blue. It’s so beautiful it feels like it sears itself in to your soul
Crepe or Croissant?
croissant
Best summer memory?
sitting on the beach in Cornwall, around a fire with friends, bundled up, listening to the sounds of the sea (and inevitable drunken teenagers) and chatting into the night
What’s one piece you’re loving this season from your collection?
I love so many of them but the Nelly and Lois striped co-ord set feels very chic and elevated. To be honest, I can’t wait to get my hands on all of it!
