A day in the life of Christina Krcevinac, 30, is a whirlwind of activity that has her planning a Lupe Fiasco concert in Toronto one moment, and then jetting off to the Big Apple to take care of journalists at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week the next. As a living billboard for luxury denim brand Diesel, she walks, talks and sings the blues. Here, she reveals her winter must-haves and her ideal New Year’s Eve look.
What’s your holiday style?
“Sparkles and sequins feel very Christmasy to me. I have a gold cardigan that I only really take out during the holidays. You won’t find me wearing anything sparkly any other time of the year. It’s too girly.”
What’s your New Year’s eve dream dress?
“I can’t wait to wear the Diesel O-Romp skirt. It’s super sexy. Paired with a men’s white shirt and bright-red lips, it will be my perfect holiday ensemble.”
What are your fashion resolutions this year?
“I just finished reading Phillip Bloch’s The Shopping Diet, so my resolution is to start wearing everything I have. I have a bad habit of keeping great items in my closet and saving them.”
Which Fall 2011 collection inspired these resolutions?
“I like to combine unexpected pieces: heavy knits with silk, studded belts with pretty florals, sparkles with destroyed jeans. Runway collections like Diesel, Balmain, Dsquared and L.A.M.B. that mix casual looks with luxury help me make my outfits.”
Which trend are you going to indulge in this season?
“Faux fur. I never thought I’d see myself in a fur vest, but it adds glamour to any look. It feels very chalet for a long weekend at the cottage or adds oomph to the black skinnies and silk top for the after-work cinq-à-sept. I have one from H&M in beige and one from Zara in grey.”
If you had to wear one coat all winter, what would it be?
“I got a Parajumper coat on Ssense.com. It’s the best buy I ever made.”
What are your go-to winter boots?
“Sorels. For years I was ruining my beautiful leather boots in the wet snow. Now I bring shoes to work and change into them.”
Who do you look to for style inspiration?
“Nicole Richie mixes boho with glamour effortlessly, and can go from cut-off jeans to red carpet without ever losing her personal style.”
How do you combat the winter blues?
“When I wear rich colours, like aubergine and emerald, it makes my eyes pop and helps my mood. Oftentimes I don’t wear dresses because it’s too cold, but if I pair them with the right tights, a cozy cardigan and cool boots, it makes me excited about going to the office.”
