E DITO I N FLUE NCE R S S HOW U S YOUR TRUE COLOUR S!
M
ost days I find myself pondering what life would be like if there where ‘NO’ colours what so ever! Or any of the
luxuries of the entertainment world... A life where your dreams are just always out of reach... In our issue this month we have some exciting news! With each interview and article you will be able to piece together your wildest dreams and finally complete your own creative puzzle. Allowing you to experience the most exquisite version of your influential self... Although with the puzzle complete it will take effort to become the next influencers of tomorrow. But ‘DO NOT’ give up! With the pieces elaborated within this fantastic issue you will find yourself on the path to influential greatness. Simply understanding what makes these brilliant influencers what they are today is the crowning to the influential empire. Understanding the interviews of the influencers in this issue you will find there are various directions in which you can pioneer. Individually 'YOU’ are the only person who can determine which direction will best suit your life. Paths that best suit you are far and

in-between, some are very artistic and transcending. While others are theoretically inclined, nevertheless you can not forget those of you who are kinaesthetically wired; there is a direction in which you can thrive as well. To show your true colour, you will have to find what defines yourself? What is your best value? What is your inspiration? Discovering our editorials you will begin to understand individually you can show your colours in various ways, different lights and still shimmer like a star ÂŤ shine bright like a diamond Âť Rihanna. For me fashion is my philosophy and my way to express myself, this way I can create so many beautiful and great things...

If you had a message to forward to our readers what would that be? Your beauty is unique. It’s wondrous and boundless. To tap into your stunning self all you need to do is start within. Fashion is a creative tool to express your inner soul for everyone to see. Let yourself be beautiful from the inside out. I see how beautiful you are. I want you to see it too.

I grew up in a small country town in South
Australia. It is a farming community so fashion was never a big thing. I developed a passion for American and European magazines, whilst I was inschool. At the time, top models like Cindy Crawford, Linda Evangelista, Christy Turlington, Nadja Auermann & Helena Christensen (probably one of my favourites ) were everywhere. They were all beautiful but each one very different. I think they were better raw models for younger girls as they were not super skinny or just the standard Aussie beach girls. As a teen reading those magazines helped me develop a love of individual style and taught me that it is okay to be different from everybody else. What are you planning for your future? I would really like to do morning TV. When I did the first one I was really nervous. It is funny how you get so confused, also nervous but you always keep talking.

was invited by PR/TICULAR on behalf of eve Sleep Switzerland for a pyjama party in a very centrally located hotel behind the
Opera house of Zurich to try the first Swiss eve Sleep Suite. The weather being fantastic, after a nice presentation from the country manager and the head of the brand, I follow the crowd to the rooftop of the hotel Ambassador at the Opera for drinks and tidbits. The view with the sunset was amazing, the food and drinks offered absolutely exquisite. I had the chance to meet some charming Swiss influencers before heading to my suite for the meal which I had previously been able to select with accompanying wine. In the suite, not only the bed mattress and cushion are from eve Sleep but also the bedsheets made from organic linen. I had a lovely night, enjoyed immensely the comfort of the mattress and cushion and definitely suggest organic linen for summer nights. Please see the following link to the You Tube video of the event: https:// youtu.be/Pxzym6AqDds Ever since they changed their commercial politic and focused on the French and UK market. Hopefully we will have them back soon in Switzerland!

So first of all, tell us where are you from and where did you all meet? Jani and Dane, his Husband, are two of the owners and we’ve been friends for probably 10 years. Jani and I used to have our own business together just for fun, actually we became quite successful. While working in the same school, we did weddings on the week ends.

I can see that you have a very close connection with your mum, tell me a bit about her? She has the most beautiful soul and is a huge mentor to me!

Without a doubt my Mama, otherwise I have a few close friends who have been incredibly successful and inspire me daily. What are the things that you dislike the most?
