Behind The Lens With Aisha Ibrahim

Posted on August 11, 2021

WHAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE NEEDLE AND THREAD STYLE FOR THIS SEASON?

I love the Bijou Rose Smocked Gown in pink. I don’t tend to wear pink tones that often, however when I wore this dress for the first time, three words came to mind: whimsical, feminine, and romantic. The beauty of the gown instantly gave me an air of confidence and I felt like I was in an episode of Bridgerton! With its ruffled detailing, squared neck, to its flowy tulle layers – it was giving me, 'lady within the renaissance period' vibes. The dress is adorned with flowers which adds a Parisian feel – it’s definitely something I will wear when I want to feel extra beautiful and confident.

IF YOU HAD TO CHOOSE YOUR DREAM DESTINATION TO SHOOT CONTENT, WHERE WOULD THIS BE?

One of my dream destinations is the Antelope Canyon in Arizona, it’s out of this world! Its beautiful, unique abstract shapes, amber hues and red tones provide the perfect backdrop for a photo shoot – definitely a photo lover’s dream. I already have an idea of what I’ll wear once I get there, it’s only a matter of time, hopefully!

WHAT'S YOUR NUMER ONE STYLE TIP?

Less is more. Minimalism for me is key, that goes for the pieces as well as the colours. I love carefully selecting items to create a whole outfit with, and I believe that every piece of clothing should speak for itself - it’s a process. For me, it’s important not to just throw on all of my favourite pieces but to put thought behind it, by not overcrowding my outfits and let each piece have its own moment.

WHERE DO YOU DRAW INSPIRATION FROM WHEN CREATING NEW CONTENT?

I draw inspiration from our natural landscape. I love earthy tones and colours and it’s also what I feel most comfortable in. My content changes seasonally, I love the unique outlook and creativity the different seasons bring out in me and how I can translate this into my outfits.
