Where croissant queen Kate Reid gets her $15 ‘perfect plane shoes’
What are the three essential items in your wardrobe? White Uniqlo tees, Levi’s jeans and my black Maje skort – it’s the wardrobe equivalent of a Swiss army knife. What would you wear … on a first date? Depends how much I like the guy. If a lot, then a sheer black Alessandra Rich dress and my Valentino Garavani “Rockstud” pumps. Not fussed – jeans, a nice top and sneakers. … on a plane? I always wear a destination-approved outfit and change into pyjamas as soon as possible. Also, Muji’s $15 slippers are the perfect plane shoe. … on the red carpet? I have been lucky to work with several exceptional Melbourne couture designers, including Kyha Studios, Jason Grech and Alin Le’ Kal. For Glamour on the Grid this year, I wore a vintage Vivienna Lorikeet dress with a silk dupion train that will be hard to beat. I felt like a queen. What’s your favourite fashion era? Can we call Audrey Hepburn an era? No further explanation required. Who’s your favourite designer? Melbourne designer Vivienna Lorikeet. She jokes that I am her muse, an honour I take very seriously. Also, I have a thing for designer shoes and Christian Louboutin is at the top of the list.
