"To me, fashion is not cosmetic, it's aesthetic. It changes more than your look. It can transform feelings. It's who I am and it's what I am. It can express more about a person than the spoken word ever could”.
“I don't believe in reinvention because personal style is an evolution. A person gets to a stage in their fashion journey by experimentation and gradually pushing their boundaries further outfit by outfit.
I translate and mould a trend to suit my own needs and wants – a little creativity can go a long way.
I believe we are all at our most stylish when we feel and exude confidence in our outfits, whatever they may be."
Style evolution comes with a back catalogue. Maria will be selling her ‘wears’ when the Marketplace launches later this year.
