She loves yoga, mountain climbing and hiking, and spends four hours a day in meditation. She is a strict vegan, and this lifestyle guides her choice of clothing and accessories too, seeking alternatives to animal hides.

How is your lifestyle expressed in your wardrobe?
I love simplicity, and this is reflected in my wardrobe: I buy something only if and when I need it. I have a strong focus on quality; as a vegan, it’s not always easy for me to find beautiful clothing and accessories that meet my requirements.
As a traveler and mountain-climber, what is your wardrobe like?
When I go to India, I dress the way the Indians do, and when I go mountain climbing or trekking, I wear shoes by La Sportiva or La Scarpa. For city wear, I have discovered Save the Duck‘s 100% animal-free puff jackets. I would describe my style as athleisure, with a special focus on comfort. On work evenings, of course, I wear a classic dress, chosen to last a long time.
And on your feet?
After searching for a long time, I have discovered Marzeri Milano boots. I admit it’s not always easy for me to find products that meet my requirements, but I like everything I wear, from shoes to clothing, to be made in Italy, a guarantee of good taste and style. I used to have a lot of shoes before I went vegan, but I sold them all or gave them away.
What about heels?
I’ve given up wearing heels. I used to like them, though.
Where do you like to do your shopping?
I shop online, because I don’t have the time, patience or need to shop in brick-and-mortar stores.
Italian shoes are…
The most beautiful of all. Plus, their quality is guaranteed. And then they offer great comfort and fit.
They’re definitely the top!
