At Ms Campbell, we’re all about celebrating every woman, which is why each month we love to have a quick chat with inspiring ladies. This month we caught up with Magda from Glory of the Snow.
In terms of trends, do you ignore, follow or mix things up?
I keep up to date with fashion trends, however I use them as an inspiration rather than a formula to follow. I pick and choose the elements I like from current trends and mix them up with my personal style. I would never wear something that I don’t like or I wouldn’t feel confident in, just because it’s currently in fashion.
What are your favourite trends for AW17?
This AW17 season, dark bewitching blooms are emerging as a key trend. A floaty dress with a dark floral pattern teamed with a leather jacket and slouch boots is a perfect outfit for a night out. And for daytime, a moody floral skirt with an oversized chunky knit and a pair of studded ankle boots is the way to go.
Red is the hottest colour of this season and we are talking all iterations of the hue and wearing it head-to-toe – the bolder the better! My favourite mixture is red and pink and I absolutely love red statement over-the-knee boots!
Best advice to someone aiming to enter the fashion blogger/influencer game?
There are so many fashion blogs these days and it’s hard to get noticed. The winning formula is to be unique, which means being yourself. There is only one you in the world and that’s what makes you special and able to stand out. I would also like to highlight the importance of taking good quality photos, networking and the social media presence, especially on Instagram.
What goes everywhere with you and why?
Sunglasses. Apart from the obvious eye protection against the sun, they are the ultimate street style accessory that adds chic factor to any outfit.
Portable charger. I am constantly on my phone. As a blogger there is so much to do all the time – emails, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest. Because of this my phone battery gets drained quickly and the portable charger allows me to carry on when I’m out and about.
Business cards. You never know when somebody will approach you saying they love your outfit, which is a perfect opportunity to spread the word about your blog. Or whilst doing a photoshoot, a professional photographer may spot you and ask you if you want to do a free one with them too! Both of these situations happened to me making me realise the importance of having business cards on me at all times.
What are your aspirations in the future?
In regards to my aspirations for the future, having attended London Fashion Week, I would love to go to New York, Paris and Milan as well in the coming seasons. I would also be interested in collaboration with some up-and-coming designers.
