favourite timeless pieces and key seasonal itemsand sell everything I no longer wear,’ she says.For inspiration, she tears items she’s lusting after

from magazines and sticks them on her bedroom wall,creating a mood board for her new-season wardrobe.Currently on display are coats in powder blues andpinks, Givenchy floral prints and sports-luxe piecesin bold primary colours. Also on her wish list: a jeanjacket and Adidas Stan Smith trainers. ‘I often wearheels but always carry trainers with me,’ she says.Fanny may have the e!ortless cool and polish of

a true Parisienne, but she does allow her style to evolvewith her environment. ‘The di!erent countries I visitdo influence my outfits,’ she says. ‘I’mmost comfortablein London. There’s less pressure to dress a certain wayand people are more natural and bold.’ Paris chic meetsLondon creativity. Sounds like the perfect mix.e
