Veronique, first year MSc Management |
Veronique delights in being unique, in terms of the specific pieces she wears as well as her outfits as a whole. Always picking up items to add to her collection of “souvenirs” when she travels, her wardrobe contains as international of a mix as LSE does. Her outfit today alone hails from four different countries: “Almost every piece of clothing I'm wearing is from somewhere different in the world. I love traveling! The jacket is from a designer whose studio is in Dalston, I picked it up at his sample sale. The pants are from small shop in Washington DC, the scarf is a Norweigan Brand cashmere and wool blend, the shoes are Church's and the hand bag is from a small leather shop in Istanbul.” Needless to say, that's impressive. It should also come as no surprise that Veronique's aim is to try to wear things that are one of kind. That does not mean she shuns the high street shops though; a true Urban Outfitters and COS devotee as well as an East London vintage shopper, she tries to find unusual pieces worth the much more expensive price tag that seems to come with the territory in London. But then again, London style is undeniable, she even places it above New York. It is also interesting to note that her roots (she's from Brazil) still have a distinct influence on her style philosophy: she always tries to wear colour and loves to mix a lot of different patterns and fabrics, unlike the sea of neutrals we see a lot of in London.
