Fashion Fridays: 5 Style Mavens, 5 Fashion Picks
Vogue recently interviewed Gigi Hadid, an American International modeling sensation and TV personality, asking her to list just 5 style items she would pick to wear for the next 6 months. This was her list:
- Adidas
- Boyfriend Jeans
- Black leggings
- Plain White vintage T-shirt
- Palmer Jacket
We sat down with 5 fashionable professionals in Nairobi and asked them the same question. Let’s see if their list is at par with Gigi’s.
Michelle Slater: General Manager at Eat Out Kenya:
- Leggings
- Long drape sweater
- Loose fitting white blouse
- Beaded sandals
- Neutrally coloured stilettos
Lyra Aoko: Lifestyle blogger (She just had to explain why)
- Black pants, because they are unnoticeable
- A closet full of plain T-shirts because Mark Zuckerberg is her role model
- A black dress, because any red wine spill would go unnoticed
- A pair of blue jeans, which she finds a staple
- A fur coat because fabulosity is a lifestyle

It seems the style mavens’ lists are not so out of place. Almost everyone is loyal to the fashion staples: jeans, white tee and a simple dress. For the only man on the list, we were definitely expecting to see the white dress shirt and a pair of loafers. Feel free to highlight your 5 fashion favourites. You just never know where the six months may find you.
