Let’s start by hearing a little
about yourself…Who is Deauvanne?
I am a
wife, mother, stylist, presenter and blogger. Originally from London I now live
in Sydney with my husband and son and I have another one on the way. When I
have a spare minute you’ll find me trawling the internet for uber-stylish
fashion items for mums and bubs.
What led
you to write about/be involved in the fashion industry?
I have
been involved in fashion for over 15 years. I studied at The London College of
Fashion and have worked as a model, buyer, stylist, TV presenter and Fashion
Editor. I am obsessed with all things fashion.
Tell us
about Mama Stylista - How the idea for your blog come about?
When I
came to Australia somehow I ended up in recruitment and media sales. After the
birth of my son I wanted a creative outlet that combined motherhood and
fashion. Something that to allowed me to work from home. A friend of mine
suggested starting a blog and Mama Stylista was born, my other baby. I
absolutely love it! Blogging has encouraged me to start
styling/presenting again and has also led to roles as a Fashion Editor.
What is
the first thing you look at in another person’s outfit?
Their shoes.
Who is
your style icon?
I draw my influence from everywhere, street style, other bloggers,
magazines. I would describe my style as classic chic. I like to mix designer
pieces with High St brands and I live in heels. I don’t have one particular
style icon, I love Olivia Palermo, Solange Knowles, Duchess Kate, Rosie
Huntington-Whiteley, Joan Smalls, Chanel Iman, Victoria Beckham and Sarah
Jessica Parker to name a few.
Finish
this sentence: to be happy, fabulous & successful a woman should….
be herself.
