First I sniff the runway, then I stalk TikTok, Vogue, and the biggest influencer feeds—anywhere a new motif starts repeating. If it pops in at least a dozen photos, shows up on a designer’s site, and makes the color wheel vibrate in my brain, I flag it. I then test it in my own style—add a wild accessory, throw in an unexpected silhouette, turn the piece into a performance. If it still feels like me and the audience goes wild, I chase it. If it just fades into background noise, I let it go and move on. It’s all about reading the signals, making the trend my own, and never wasting a minute on something that doesn’t make me shine.

Absolutely, darling—real treasures are buried in the underground whispers, not the loudest headlines. I’m always scouting those niche corners, spotting the next big wave before it hits the mainstream. Stay tuned, because the real chic starts where the crowd hasn’t yet smelled the scent.
