The following will be my look into the world of wardrobe capsules and how I'll find my core style.
HISTORY
How has your personal history informed the way that you dress? When did your tastes crystalise? Have they changed over the years and why?
I would say that dress sense comes from my constant awareness through my family who were very talented in tailoring and dressmaking and when I began working, I received a full wardrobe of corporate wear, that was way ahead of the fashion with regard to South Africa, because it was tailor made for European clients. Although the suits weren't appropriate for my level of work, and was actually more suited to someone at least two positions higher than myself, I still wore it, as I firmly believe in dressing for the job you want and not the job you have. I would say that it has changed because, as I progressed in my work, so did my style of dress.
PHILOSOPHY
How does your philosophy, spirituality, or religion affect you aesthetics and buying habits? What aspects of those things would you like to see reflected?
Spirituality and religion both play a big part, as I am a Muslim and onw of the requirements of me as a woman is to be fully covered except for my hands, face and feet (hijab). I would like to maintain this as it is something I feel strongly about.
CULTURE
How has your cultural backgound shaped the way you look now? How did the aesthetics and values you grew up with affect your tastes as you got older?
Well, culturally, growing up it was very popular for everyone to wear what was trendy and in fashion, but as I got older, and more spiritual, I realised that I wanted to incorporate Hijab into my everyday life and began to wear hijab permanently, but still in a modern, fashionable way.
