We sat down with avid collector Vivian and asked her, her favourite way to use the app, favourite fashion trends and everything in-between.
'Most people know you for your modern boho outfits and colourful accessories, but how would you describe your personal style?'
'You pretty much summed it up, but to expand on that I usually joke that I love clothing so much that I can never decide what to wear, and that is why my outfits are typically so layered.'
Do you have any tips on how to achieve that coveted layered look?'
'Well I mostly look for pieces that pair well together, and that I mean the colours, fabrics and patterns all compliment and contrast one another equally. The key to the best layered look is to make sure it looks effortless, and to pair fitted pieces with oversized pieces. People also forget that it's not just clothing that you can layer, but that layering accessories is a fun trick as well.
'What's your favourite way to use the collected app?'
'I love that I can sell, shop, and search style ideas all in one place. I mainly use the app to search for unique pieces, or the hidden gems in someones closet, that they no longer require. It's like a modern version of thrift shopping- and I can do it all from my bed!'
'You definitely do seem to find amazing pieces, any advice on how to find the perfect piece?'
'I think the perfect piece means something different to everyone, but as long as you stay true to your personal style then your set. It's always fun to try something a little different then you usually wear, and I find the collected app is a great place to do that. Instead of walking around to 100 different shops or online sites I can just scroll through and find what speaks to me.'
'It's been so much fun talking to you today, thank you so much. Any last words for your fellow collectors out there?'
'Just to have fun and experiment with fashion, it's the best way to find out what makes you feel confident and comfortable.'
