Read our Q&A with Michelle to find out about her favourite pieces from the collection and her personal style.
Do you have any favourite pieces in the collection?
My favourite piece would be the gorgeous tuxedo dress, it is absolutely perfect for a night out. I would style it with cute ankle boots and it could work for dinner with the girls or a date night.
Describe your style?
I have to travel a lot for work so my style during the day is quite casual. I love wearing jeans and a cute top with just a nice leather jacket, the one in the Very collection is a classic style and can be worn again and again. Then if I am going out in the evening I really enjoy getting a little bit dressed up and wearing a nice dress of skirt and top, something to make me feel a bit special.
What is your go to look/favourite outfit?
My go to day time look would be skinny jeans, a great tailored blouse and leather jacket. For a night out my go to is always a LBD.
How would you describe your first collection for Very?
I am so excited about my new range for Very.co.uk because it really taps into all pieces I would want for my own wardrobe. I have a really busy lifestyle and within the new collection I have gorgeous tailored separates I can wear to a meeting or lunch date, I have denim and a fantastic leather jacket for a more dressed down look and I have stunning embellished and sophisticated dresses for that special night out or event.
What inspired you when designing this range? Did you have a customer in mind?
I actually find inspiration on a daily basis; I might see someone on the street looking incredibly stylish that makes me look again or I might be at work and doing some research with the costume department or I could see something I love in a film or on the pages of fashion magazines which totally grabs me. I then take all of these ideas and really think about what I would want in my own wardrobe and that’s why this new range is so true to my style.
If you could see any celebrity wearing your collection who would it be?
I have always said I love Jessica Alba’s style. She always looks amazing so to see someone like that wearing my collection would be absolutely amazing! But I’m actually really excited to see the Very customer wearing my collection, it will be such a buzz to be in a bar and see someone who is wearing one of my Very pieces- I can’t wait for that.
