1. Name, age, location: Melmo (Melanie), 18 years, Germany, Saarbrücken

2. When and How did you fall in love with fashion? When I was just a little girl, I always dreamt of being pretty and wearing dresses. I chose my own clothes at the age of 7 or 8, and I always chose bright colors. But my real love for fashion began at the age of 12, 13 as I bought my first fashion magazines. I was so inspired and I thought that I wanted to look like the models.

3. Your favorite fashion designer? My favorite designer is Marc Jacobs, but I also admire the work of Roberto Cavalli, Jason Wu and Karl Lagerfeld.

4. What’s one thing every stylish woman should have in her closet? Every stylish woman should have a little black dress in her closet. It’s a very important to have the basics in my opinion, however they can be combined very individually.

5. Who/What inspires your style? I have a lot of inspiring sources, yet my greatest ones are Fashion magazines and Fashion blogs. I love reading them and I admire all the different styles. Celebrities and movies are another source of my inspirations; however the most interesting source is the street fashion. Everywhere I go I get inspired by so many different people and everyone has their own unique style. It’s very interesting to me…

6. What is you dream career? fashion-idol-of-the-week-melmo My dream career will start next year, or so I hope. I will go to a business school and I want to study international tourism management. I hope to have a great future where I can get in contact with different countries, cultures, languages and people.

7. What trends are you loving at the moment? I’m totally in love with flower prints. I love big and small flower prints. I cannot get enough of them, especially because I cannot wait any longer for the spring to arrive.

8. What are you favorite shopping destination(s)? London. I love London. You can find so many amazing stores. Especially thrifted stores. And I love shopping in London because every person you see is a great inspiration. But Paris is also a great shopping place.

9. Describe your style in 2 words? Expressive & Authentic
