ARIELLA RAE

Describe your style in 3 words:
Long answer: I guess sort of like Grandma Chic, a little bit sassy maybe, I like to put something with a little bit of an edge to it sometimes.

What is your everyday “uniform”:
I’m usually wearing boots, everyday boots and usually either, yeah jeans, and a big baggy t-shirt, sometimes, but also usually massive oversized dresses that are usually see through.

What does being a creative mean to you:
Um kinda everything. I think I wouldn’t really know what to do if I wasn’t being creative. I think that it makes me happy, it keeps me safe uh yeah, it’s sort of everything, I guess.

How has Amsterdam impacted you creatively:
Um, I think it’s given me a bit of freedom because I haven’t really felt like there are alot of people around me that are doing what I’m doing, so I felt like I could be myself, without the like other noise around me a little bit. I think I have more freedom, I guess, and also I have more of a palette because I’m working with flowers. Which means there’s more than compared to back home, there’s like five times the amount of flowers, so I can play around a lot more, so that’s fun.

How has Amsterdam impacted your style:
I think that actually in a way, it’s sort of shrunk it. It’s made it a little bit less crazy, it’s made it a little bit less wild. Which is sad I think, but also people seem to stay in their line a little bit here, without realising I sort of changed it to fit that a little bit.
