Lilian Leopold (She/Her)

GET TO KNOW LILIAN.

- WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE ACCESSORY AND WHERE DID YOU GET IT?

THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE A PAIR OF MY MOM'S VINTAGE VERSACE PANTS SHE USED TO WEAR IN THE 80'S. THEY'RE HIGH WAISTED AND CHECKED WITH COLOURFUL RAINFOREST PRINT DOWN THE MIDDLE. I FEEL LIKE THEY'RE SUCH A PART OF HER THAT I CAN NOW EMBODY.

- ONE THING PEOPLE MIGHT NOT KNOW ABOUT YOU?

I AM SUCH A GOOFBALL. NOT MANY PEOPLE WOULD THINK THAT AT FIRST GLANCE, BUT WHEN YOU GET TO KNOW ME YOU'LL FIND I'M QUIRKY AND KINDA WEIRD. I TRY NOT TO TAKE MYSELF TOO SERIOUSLY. I FIND THAT IN BEING AUTHENTIC TO YOURSELF, YOU ALLOW OTHERS TO BE THE SAME..... THAT'S WHEN I TRULY CONNECT WITH SOMEONE.

- WHAT 3 WORDS WOULD YOU USE TO DESCRIBE YOURSELF?

CARING, PASSIONATE AND ADVENTUROUS.

- WHAT WAS YOUR FAVOURITE TRIP EVER TAKEN? 

CAPRI, ITALY WAS A TRIP FOR THE BOOKS. IT WAS WILDLY BEAUTIFUL AND CHARMING. I STILL HAVE MEMORIES OF DANCING BENEATH THE LEMON TREES AND SWIMMING IN CAVES ALONG THE COASTLINE. ONE DAY IN PARTICULAR I SWAM UP TO A SMALL BOAT WHERE AN OLDER ITALIAN COUPLE WERE ENJOYING WINE AND CHEESE, AND THEY INSISTED I JOIN THEM. FOR HOURS I LISTENED TO THEIR STORIES OF YOUTH AND LOVE. THAT ALWAYS STUCK WITH ME.

- WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE QUOTE?

RUIN IS A GIFT. RUIN IS THE ROAD TO TRANSFORMATION.
