Alyce Madden talks to a very special guest this week as we look back on the fashions of 2016, and focus on the future... Social media plays such a big role in sourcing fashion inspiration and I got the chance to speak to Kim from @ kimdvniels on Instagram, a unique budding young fashion stylist.

Alyce: Hi Kim, I absolutely love your fashion Instagram! Can you tell us a bit about your self? Kim: Thanks Alyce! Well I’m an aspiring celebrity stylist from Perth. I’m currently studying the fashion business to gain some knowledge about how to market and brand myself. Alyce: Your sense of style is really inspiring, where do you see yourself fitting in the fashion industry, what are your goals? Kim: Wow thank you I appreciate that! I want to style celebrities and models because I feel that I can completely transform their image. My main goal is to make someone feel amazing in their own skin which I do through style. I also would love to get into creative directing editorial photoshoots and movie costumes. Alyce: Can you describe your style in three words?
Kim: Bold, experimental and classic. Alyce: Who are your biggest fashion icons/influencers? Kim: Rihanna, Aaliyah and my mother in the 90’s. Alyce: How do you stay up to date with current fashion trends in such a busy, fast paced world? Kim: I like to look through the most recent runway collections on Vogue but I also pay close attention to creative people on Twitter and Instagram. Alyce: Are there any trends right now we should be trying? Kim: I definitely recommend trying the lace up trend! There’s so many skirts and pants with lacing detail that makes such a big statement in any outfit. PVC jackets and trench coats for the coming winter are also a must. Alyce: What are your fashion tips for this upcoming party season? Kim: Lace detail dresses are a must along with a leather look mini skirt! These can be dressed up with pumps or lace detailed sandals. It’s such a simple yet easy statement to rock. Alyce: How do you put together a perfect outfit? Kim: I like to start with the basics and then make a statement with accessories or shoes! I encourage clients to buy things that they think they’d never usually wear because it forces them to style it and make it work for them. It’s all about risk taking!

Alyce: What is one fashion fail you see women struggle with? Kim: I’m sorry to say ladies but the clear Perspex boots must go! It’s almost impossible to ignore the fact that they fog up when it’s too warm, let’s leave it in 2016. Alyce: What is your favourite Westfield Penrith store to shop at? Kim: Myer! I love looking through the designer clothing and shoes. General Pants is also a favourite of mine.
