Based in Milan, I write about fashion and lifestyle-related topics, with a soft spot for Made in Italy and emerging markets. I kicked off my career at the age of 19, contributing to GQ India's digital platform about the soirées hosted by Italian designers. As a fashion journalist I work with international editions of GQ and Vogue, in addition to having covered fashion events from New York to Kingston, by way of Lagos and back to Milan. I know, all of this sounds pretty depressing, right? It gets worse. Throughout my career, among the names I've scored interviews with are Roberto Cavalli, Giuseppe Zanotti, the Dsquared2 twins and your favourite Victoria's Secret models. Though Milan is the place I call home today, I'm Dutch according to my passport, yet I'm of Surinamese heritage (you might want to Google map that).
