2. FM24: So let’s start … One word about yourself would be…?

Agatha: I am unstoppable. My desire to accomplish my dreams is an infinite fuel for me to evolve and grow continuously.

3. FM24: What is your definition of “fashion”…?

Agatha: Actually everyone has their own answer to this question and its what I love the most about fashion – there isn’t just one meaning for everyone. Fashion is absolutely fluid and that’s what makes it so special! For me fashion is about timeless, comfortable and simple beauty.

4. FM24: Most fashionable city for you, favorite style/brand and your “MUST” item are..?

Agatha: The city of fashion is Paris. Fashion is literally written in the city DNA. My favourite style is stylish minimalism: a fusion of classic style, urban chic and feminine lingerie style. And the “must” item for are is a pair of perfect jeans. Jeans are a key clothing element which goes well in any combo and to have the perfect pair makes your dressing lucky and complete.

5. FM24: Your wish for the future of the fashion world would be…?

Agatha: I am an advocate for individuality – just let the definition of fashion be unique for each and every one of you.

6.FM24: We promise we will do that! It is a great piece of advice considering fashion started in history from the expression of self individuality itself. It is a pleasure to meet ambitious and talented people like you who can inspire others to push their limits and achieve everything they set their mind to.

Agatha: It is a pleasure for me to meet all of you aswell and empower your readers through a little “piece of good advice” spread by the “word of mouth”. I love chatting with you so let’s do this more often. We all need it!
