WHAT DREW YOU TO COLLABORATING WITH DEMELLIER?
I’ve always admired how DeMellier blends beautiful design with purpose. There’s intention behind everything they do: from their commitment to sustainability to their strong values—it just felt right to collaborate with them.


WHY DID YOU CHOOSE THE HUDSON AS YOUR LIMITED-EDITION ICON?
I chose to reimagine The Hudson as it’s a true everyday companion—each detail elevated but still easy to wear. I wanted to design something versatile enough for work trips or just a day out with my daughter.


HOW DO YOU APPROACH BUILDING A WARDROBE THAT LASTS?
By focusing on the pieces that I keep reaching for that are well crafted, comfortable to wear, and true to my style beyond seasonal trends. For me, it’s less about what’s ‘in’ and more about how something fits within my life.

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR PERSONAL STYLE?

Effortless and minimal with a strong sense of ease. I love pieces that feel timeless, that move with you without trying too hard—a well-cut pair of jeans, a white tee, something oversized. It’s always evolving but rooted in simplicity and intuition.


WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE WAY TO STYLE THE HUDSON?
I love the contrast between a structured bag and something more relaxed: a loose shirt, vintage jeans, a pair of loafers. Honestly, you can’t go wrong with any of your staples—it adds just the right amount of polish.


WHAT IMPORTANT LESSONS HAVE YOU LEARNT WHILE RUNNING YOUR OWN BUSINESS?
That growth doesn’t always look like scale. Sometimes it’s about depth. Staying true to your values, even when it’s slower or less obvious, is what really builds something lasting. The team around you matters so much, it’s never a solo journey.


WHAT’S YOUR FAVOURITE PLACE IN HAMBURG?
The Jenisch Park—it feels like you’ve left the city without actually leaving. It’s quiet, calming, and the perfect place to slow down. When Zoe was a baby, we’d take long walks; she’d nap in the stroller, I’d sip my homemade matcha, and it was the best way to calm my nervous system in the morning.

WHO ARE THE WOMEN IN YOUR LIFE THAT INSPIRE YOU?
The women who inspire me most are in my own family. From a young age, they surrounded me with love, encouragement, and creativity. Most meaningfully, they introduced me to design—through crafting, decorating, and simply noticing beauty in the everyday.


WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE YOUR YOUNGER SELF?
Don’t rush. It’s okay not to have all the answers. Stay close to what feels real, and trust that you’ll grow into your own rhythm.


WHAT DOES FEMALE EMPOWERMENT MEAN TO YOU?
It’s about having the space to be yourself, fully and unapologetically. It’s not about being loud, but about being free to choose your own pace, to build your own path, and to support others as they do the same.
