NICOLE HUISMAN
DC: WHAT DO YOU LOOK FOR IN A PERSON WHEN DOING THEIR STYLING?
NH: I try to figure out what their personality is all about and how and in what they feel like the best version of themselves – is that by wearing a sexy minidress, or a cool oversized suit, for example? When I know who they are and what they are looking for, I always try to push them a little bit out of their comfort zone, trying something new, so that my work really has added value 🙂
DC: IS THERE ONE PARTICULAR AREA OF YOUR LIFE THAT YOU FEEL MORE DRAWN TO CURRENTLY?
PS: Indeed, I’m now immersed in my role as a writer. I miss writing the way I did before the boom of social media. My first book is in the oven…
DC: IN YOUR PERSONAL WARDROBE, WHAT STYLE DO YOU PREFER?
NH: I’m completely schizophrenic when it comes to my personal styling, haha! I believe I’m a little bit of everything, except a minimalist. I envy people with their 5-piece-french-wardrobe vibes, it looks so calming, but I will never be able to join their club, I’m afraid. I’m eclectic, always colorful, always comfortable.
DC: WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE US FOR A SIMPLE AND ELEGANT LOOK, YET AT THE SAME TIME ORIGINAL?
NH: You can never go wrong with a beautiful oversized suit, a great fitting (vintage) pair of jeans and a qualitatively basic T-shirt. Choose something bold and original to top it off with: a crazy cool coat, an outspoken colorful bag. Focus on 1 item to put in the spotlight, that’s always a good idea.
DC: IN YOUR COMBO LOOKS WHEN WEARING LEOPARD, DENIM, SILK, HOW DO YOU CREATE THE FINISHING LOOK?
NH:I always look for balance, no matter how crazy my look is. When I wear silk for example, I make sure to combine it with a heavier fabric, like denim or leather. And when wearing something oversized, I look for something more slim to combine it with – like an oversized jeans + oversized T-shirt with a mini-bag. Surprise elements, I guess.
DC: WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PHRASE FOR THESE TIMES?
NH: So much is happening, be open to the good
DC: HOW DID 2020 ADD TO YOUR GROWTH?
NH: I found more calmness, more thankfulness and even more enthusiasm to get the best out of this crazy life!
DC: HEARING YOU SAY: LIFE IS BETTER IN A BIKINI…
NH: Does that mean less is more? I do believe less is more, but sometimes less can be so boring. With ‘life is better in bikini’, I’m referring to my favorite season & surroundings. I feel best in summer, or at sunny destinations – gives me so much positive vibes and energy.
