 GET TO KNOW MIKAYLA:

One thing people might not know about you ?

I have been a ballet dancer since the age of two. My first dance class was called Tiny Tutus. I also ride English equestrian. My most favourite day of the week is spending time with and riding my horse Champagne. Both ballet and equestrian riding have taught me discipline, patience, grace, posture and strength within myself.

What is your favourite accessory? Where did you get it?

My favourite accessory has to be my mom’s mini Prada hand bag. My dad bought it for her as a gift when they were dating over 25 years ago. I borrowed it one day from her closet and it magically became mine because she never asked for it back. I dress it up and down with everything. It reminds me of her and it’s so vintage now. I love it!

What was your favourite trip you’ve taken?
My favourite trip is anytime we return to Northern Italy, where my family is from. I love the fashion, food, culture, art and lifestyle in Italy and feel most myself and at home there. My most favourite place in Italy is Portofino. It’s so magical.

What is your favourite quote?

“Look, you have to make mistakes. That’s how you learn and that’s how the world works.” Naomi Campbell
Naomi Campbell is my supermodel hero. She appears so fearless. She literally walks the talk. She has worked so hard for her position in the modelling industry and is a role model for good reason. She does it all so graciously and elegantly
