What does fashion mean to you?
Fashion is really important to me, it is what helps us to express ourselves without using words. You can be a completely different person with just the choice of your clothing, that’s how powerful it is.
How would you describe your personal style? I like to keep it plain, simple and comfortable. I can go from either being too girly or just casual, depending on my mood, the weather or the occasion.

Your favorite place to shop in Macau..
It has got to be Bershka, H&M and Stradivarius!
Who was your first style icon?
My aunt, Joana Rodriguez. She is one of the reasons why I got into fashion, she bought me clothes and told me about fashion websites such as Lookbook.
What is your view on Macau’s fashion scene, do we have one?
Not that much people are into fashion here in Macau yet, compared to Hong Kong. But I’m starting to see other teenagers and adults that are being stylish now, taking professional shots of their ootd and ootns.
How can Macau inspire the way you dress?
Since fashion is not a big deal here yet, I want to dress differently from the others and inspire them to experiment on what to wear.
What would be an ideal weekend in Macau?
Shopping at The Venetian Macau or around Rua Do Campo, dining at your favorite restaurant, or clubbing at Pacha and Cubic!
What’s your favorite place in Macau to take photos?
Cotai area, Taipa Village or pretty much anywhere in Macau would be good because of the unique buildings and streets that give the perfect background for your photoshoots!
Who takes photos for your outfits?
Usually my friends, sister, mom and aunt or just anyone I’m with.
What’s your fashion motto?
Mix and match the colors properly, don’t go with the trend all the time, be different from the rest and make sure you feel confident and comfortable with what you are wearing and work it.
When you can’t think of anything to wear, what’s your go-to outfit?
I either put on a dress if I want to be girly or wear a tank top and shorts instead.
What is your favorite fashion magazine? and why ?
I don’t really get to look at fashion magazines, but I do check out fashion blogs in either lookbook.nu or Instagram.
What’s the best advice you have ever been given?
Be yourself and be confident!
