Do you recall the exact moment you made the decision to open a social media account? Was it intended for your own use, or did you have plans to write about it?
I made the decision to handle my social media account four years ago. And it all began with a single goal: I wanted to share things and express my own style. I never planned this endeavour, and I had no idea what I would do or what I would accomplish today.
Are there any aspects of your life that you would rather not share with your audience? How do you maintain your sincerity?
Regarding fashion, I’ve always been truthful with my audience and shared my frank opinions of the newest trends and ideas regarding the newest catwalks. To be really honest, I sometimes have a tendency to be quite critical and scathing about the newest trends. I see this as a means of being authentic with my audiences.
How can you become open to a million people? How should one handle hatred, and is it worthwhile?
When I first began writing, I endured a lot of hurtful remarks and bias, and it takes guts and tenacity to get beyond remarks that make you feel bad. I discovered that the answer is to focus more on your objectives. You will be less distracted by unrelated criticism the more focused and determined you are on your goals.
How much time do you spend on your influencer activities? How long does it take to produce content, too?
When there are no events or fashion weeks, I try to concentrate more on my everyday activities and study. But whenever I get the opportunity, I will focus entirely on producing material. Before creating material, there are several conversations and preparations, and it often takes one to two weeks. And I turn up for the gathering. My team will then assist me in editing the video and material after that. I am lucky to have a skilled team working with me on the project.
Do you hire a stylist to help you with your blogging looks, or do you do it yourself?
Because I like the process, I style the majority of the looks by myself. I sometimes seek help from a qualified stylist as well.
When did you first discover you were an influencer? What do you think of the term’s recent development?
When I first began attending fashion weeks a few years ago, the majority of interview questions were on my own style, such as what I wear or what I prefer to wear. In the last two years, people have begun to know me on the street, and the interview question delves farther into the sector.
What unique offer did an advertisement make to you?
I was given the chance to go to the Amazon rainforest to shoot an advertisement for a certain razor company. Unfortunately, a scheduling difficulty forced me to decline it in the end.
What kinds of proposals do you often decline?
I often turn down offers that don’t fit with my public image. I aim to have an impact with my opulent lifestyle, fashion sense, and love of great art.
Could you kindly comment on the following statement: All quality-defining programmes are extremely easily cheated, and the reputation of bloggers has drastically decreased recently since 80% of them have false followers. And that’s why many well-known companies are turning back to earlier forms of advertising with measurable reach.
I can’t dispute that some bloggers attempt to increase their reputation by accumulating phoney followers. However, the bulk of bloggers gain loyal readers by producing top-notch material. And I like that certain well-known companies are turning back to earlier forms of advertising since, in my opinion, they were wonderful works of art. We must admit, nevertheless, that the majority of forms of advertising have already been replaced by social media marketing.
What do you think is the pinnacle of success for a blogger?
In every field, there is no pinnacle of achievement; instead, there is just what you can do better.
Do you believe today’s bloggers to be trend-setters? Do they qualify as A-list celebrities?
My ideal A-list celebrities, in my opinion, are those that promote constructive impact in their industry. And I’m working to achieve that goal. I aim to provide a platform for emerging independent designers as a fashion blogger.
With which well-known blogger would you wish to work?
I would want to work with Kelly Rutherford if it is feasible. At the gala dinner for the World Influencer and Blogger Awards, we had a terrific discussion. Her ideas are original, but more significantly, I could sense the joy in her heart.
What is your largest, proudest online or offline achievement during the last 12 months?
My most proudest achievement this year was winning the title of Luxury Lifestyle Influencer at the World Influencers and Bloggers Awards. It is a tremendous recognition of the work I have done in recent years.
What should thrill your fans the most in 2022 about your “next big move” on or off social media?
I’ll impart more expertise to my audience than just fashion style. To further the workmanship and couture sprits, which will broaden the impact of the couture culture, I wish to give more information and tales about the fashion business.
How has your content production altered in reaction to the New Normal two years after the worldwide pandemic?
Since practically everything stopped down at the onset of the epidemic, it was difficult. My content generation has stopped entirely. I need to produce some material that I can do at home, like live-streaming with my followers or styling with the clothes in my wardrobe to help them emotionally while they’re going through a difficult period. But this provided me additional chances to explore other areas I had never been into before. Now, everything are returning to normal. Resuming are events and fashion weeks. I am gradually returning to my original creative path.
How important are commercial acumen, creativity, luck, and technical know-how in retaining and expanding a digital audience?
You need a creative spark and enthusiasm to maintain yourself on your chosen job path. Then it would be beneficial if you worked hard to acquire knowledge and hone your business acumen. Finally, a little luck will help you start out more quickly, but ultimately, you need to possess the three essential qualities to advance in your job.
