<\/div>\n

\nWhat does a regular day in the life of a Fashion Buyer for The Iconic look like?<\/strong>
\nHECTIC!! I’ll start by analysing sales, running around Sydney<\/a> and going to showings of our brand\u2019s latest collections. Then it\u2019s back to the office to write orders, attend range meetings with other buyers\/departments and work with marketing to come up with ideas for the next new campaigns.<\/p>\n

\"Louise,<\/a>
\nThere\u2019s never a quiet moment at THE ICONIC – we are constantly on the go. It\u2019s hectic but fun!
\nWhere has your job taken you?<\/strong>
\nMelbourne<\/a>, London<\/a>, LA<\/a>, Vegas<\/a>, China<\/a>… I love going to New York<\/a> \u2013 it\u2019s my favourite place to travel with work!<\/p>\n\"NYC\"<\/a>\n

What celeb would you love to sit next to on a plane?<\/strong>
\nStephen Merchant \u2013 because he is hilarious and would make the flight pass quicker. Plus he is super tall so would probably get the seats with extra leg room!
\nIf you’ve been, what\u2019s your fave: New York, Milan or Paris Fashion Week?<\/strong>
\nLondon Fashion Week is my favourite (I haven\u2019t been to the others) \u2013 but would absolutely love to go one day!<\/p>\n

Finish this sentence: The most fashionable city in the world is ______<\/strong>
\nLondon! I am biased as I am British, but London is the most fashionable city. Anything goes; it\u2019s a mixed bag of cultures, has a vibrant atmosphere and it seems like all styles are accepted. Walking around Camden, Carnaby Street and Brick Lane you see everything from bold and brash styles to more conventionally sophisticated dressing. Great places to go style spotting!<\/p>\n\"Shopping<\/a>\n

As a regular jetsetter, have you seen any tragic fashion faux pas?<\/strong>
\nPlenty \u2013 but velour pink tracksuits in an airport lounge will always top the list!
\nSpeaking of, what\u2019s your opinion on couples that match their outfits while travelling?<\/strong>
\nDo people do that? Really bad, but entertaining for others\u2026 hopefully no matching velour tracksuits!<\/p>\n\"Matching<\/a>\n

While on the road, what\u2019s a never-fail outfit that can take us from day to night?<\/strong>
\nA little black shift dress, you can dress it down with vans or cons and take a pair of heels in your handbag for your night out. Match it with a blazer and use accessories to dress it up.
\n\"Heels<\/a><\/p>\n

What are the top five wardrobe must-haves for summer getaways this season?<\/strong>
\nA kimono, white cotton shirt, maxi dress, playsuit and sandals\/wedges.
\n\"Chain<\/a>
\nWhat item of clothing do you never leave home without?<\/strong>
\nA black leather jacket\u2026<\/p>\n\"Black<\/a>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
