The same happens every year after a long winter; I want to freshen up my dark wardrobe with some pops of colour. I have teamed up with Smythson to create a story and imagery highlighting this beautiful shade in their colour palette. I combined different shades of green and captured the handcrafted leather goods in two locations. First at a botanical garden followed by a green set-design in a studio.

Beautiful collections from very classic and elegant Parisian brands like Ami, Sandro and Editions Mr, were in a perfect balance with edgy collections from brands like CMMN SWDN, Hed Mayner and Wooyoungmi. And Paul Smith, one of my all time favourites, this season coming up with a very colourful and fun collection including neon colours, animal prints and fluffy hats and those amazing high boots. In the end Lucas and I dressed like we were on our way to Matrix remake casting, wearing black and red partner-looks in leather. But like the shows, my looks were like a fruit salad, a little bit of everything.

Starting every morning off right by having breakfast in bed at our stylish stay, ME London. After getting ready, we headed outside where our driver already was waiting for us, ready to take off to the shows and events. I saw a lot of shiny leather, great knits, creative layering, sporty elements and great tailoring. The first day I wore a beige tailored coat with sporty tracksuit and boots, the second all white everything mixing different materials and last day I was wearing very classic me, an oversized coat, wide leg suit trousers and leather shoes.

If you haven’t; in Singapore, everything is spotlessly clean and shiny, posh and the term extravagant doesn’t do the city justice at all. I saw some Venetian canals build inside a shopping mall, a light show that reminded me of the Eurovision finale, and a luxury store on a small island sparkling and blinking more than the most vulgar Christmas tree. Lucas and I had some problems with security guards at some locations and a few of our shoots turned into a James Bond movie, hiding from the guards – Thank god we didn’t get caught in the maze as this was one of my all time favourite places to shoot at.
