A girl whose presence has been felt within the Irish model scene for over a decade, Corina Gaffey is a vogue journalist and stylist with a eager eye for element. Right here we get an unique take a look at her enviable wardrobe.
How would you describe your private model?
At all times altering! I’ve lastly discovered my model groove, swinging between full-on prints and patterns and, then, the following day, tremendous clear traces. Consolation and temper decide my on a regular basis wardrobe.
The go-to shoe/sneakers
Pointed toe/ballet sneakers are at all times my go-to once I need to polish up my look a bit. From high-street to high-end, I at all times lean in the direction of that model and form. I purchased a pair of metallic silver Prada on sale final season, and I additionally purchased an embellished black pair from Zara a number of weeks in the past, so my pointy flat wardrobe is consistently increasing! After I spend a day getting ready for a shoot I at all times put on trainers as I can get at the least 20,000 steps simply by working round – I not too long ago jumped on the Adidas Samba bandwagon and they’re an important athletic shoe to put on with denims or trousers.
The all-rounder jacket
I do not know if I may slender it down to 1! However for versatility, a trench will at all times rotate in my wardrobe. Particularly a trench coat in basic beige. It will possibly simply be thrown over something. Subsequent on my listing can be an announcement jacket – I’ve many. From leopard to metallic, I really feel much more pulled collectively when I’ve a standout topper, even when it is only a easy t-shirt and denims.
The proper denims
I am nonetheless on the hunt for my holy denims like most individuals. However I benefit from the far more relaxed straight leg types and do not see myself speeding again to skinnies. I simply purchased a pair of white wide-leg denims from Arket and I’ve a pair of Gavin denims from Anine Bing, which I like for his or her cropped straight legs and frayed ends.
The must-have knitwear
There’s nothing like the only crew neck knit to put on below a blazer or with denims. However I like Khaite knitwear, particularly their sculpted cardigans, that are just a little boujee for me; as an alternative I look to Nanuskha, Sezane, & Different Tales and The White Firm for Khaite vibes. I not too long ago obtained an oatmeal cardigan from The White Firm and I do know I will be dwelling in all of it spring. Should you’re blessed within the chest, a v-neck cardigan is a good choice, and I often put on it layered with chains to raise it.
On a regular basis jewellery
Earrings, it doesn’t matter what I am sporting, I at all times pair my ears with my Timeless Pearly hoop and pearl earrings or if I need one thing just a little extra assertion, my Interior Island pearl drops. Necklaces, I additionally layer; I like Sorcha O’R, One Dame Lane, Ecru Studios and Gabsluk.
The go-anywhere purse
I am a crossbody lady, largely simply because I need my fingers free when pulling garments for shoots, so it is an important on a regular basis bag. I not too long ago invested in a tory bag from Tory Burch, Kildare Village, and a quilted softie from Mulberry, which is extra of a shoulder bag, so I am shifting away from simply the hands-free purse!
The Sunday cozy, informal look
I do not personal a variety of loungewear, however I’ve a black tailor-made tracksuit from Sweaty Betty that will be my go-to once I need to get cozy. It is good to put on it with sneakers or make it just a little extra polished with a chunky idler.
The last word pajamas
Couch mattress embellished with feathers for lounging in, and you may’t beat a pair of Penneys pajamas!
The social gathering appears to be like important
Relating to social gathering put on, I wish to preserve half informal, whether or not it is a T-shirt with metallic pants, a tank prime with a sequin skirt, or flats with a night costume; I wish to disrupt and ensure I do not look overdone.
Probably the most worthwhile piece
My wedding ceremony sneakers; I nonetheless put on them, they’re from Miu Miu, and I purchased them earlier than I knew what my costume was like. They’re black, pointy with a silver mirrored heel, folks thought I used to be loopy shopping for black wedding ceremony sneakers, however my costume lined them up, they usually had been so comfy, plus they’re a lot extra versatile, and I am nonetheless sporting them for eight years afterward!
The wishlist merchandise
I am eager for Simone Rocha’s metallic gold ballerinas from her fall-winter assortment that simply confirmed up at London Vogue Week.
The classic retailer to know
Vicente Ganesha in Ibiza, it is a treasure trove of among the most wonderful classic, actually genuine, and it is a common hang-out of Kate Moss, so if it is ok for Mrs Moss…
Who to comply with for model on social media
A few of my favorites are @nlmarilyn, @lisa.aiken, @vanessaroseblair, @monkih, @sylviemus_ and @juliesfi.
The sweetness ritual / self-care ritual
I actually love underpainting because of Mary Phillips, so contouring and concealing earlier than make-up. I like the contour and spotlight sticks from Westman Atelier, the concealer from Nars, and the Flawless filter from Charlotte Tilbury. I additionally not too long ago stocked up on Glossier Boy Forehead and Balmdotcom.
