My Look: “This bag is a vintage Celine. It’s one of my favorite bags — I’ve had it 20 years. It was my mom’s. And this is not a dress, it’s a shirt but I bought it in extra large so I could wear it as a dress.”

Country of residence: France
Occupation: beach attendant
My Look: “Sportswear — colored and flashy. I choose with feeling. I have no particular brand favorites except for Adidas for shoes because it’s colored.”

Occupation: training to be a pastry chef and “Making cookies.”
My Look: “My beauty spots are my favorite feature. I like to just be myself. At a point, you try to make your differences a strength. It takes a little bit of courage at a point in life, but it’s okay, it doesn’t hurt!”

Country of residence: United States
Occupation: student at Carnegie Mellon University in a graduate program for entertainment management
My Look: “This is a Dolce & Gabbana dress, Gucci shoes and Saint Laurent bag. It’s really hot here and I wanted to wear something really light. I wanted to be comfortable and this outfit is very comfy.”

My Look: “I just bought these pants by Vanessa Bruno because (the pants) are quite masculine and relaxed. And my Celine bag – every girl likes Celine for accessories. There’s no one in the world who doesn’t like it.”
