Carla’s Style

Carla (Assistant Buyer)

Best describe your job role: I currently work on Sandals, Courts, Woods/Raffia, Flip flops and Flats; Assisting my buyers with all the aspects that are involved in building commercial ranges that give the ‘Faith girl’ what she wants.  From developing new styles to negotiating prices and confirming samples, whilst always keeping one eye on not only our own reactions but other retailers on the high street as well.  Within the buying and merchandising department we never stop, and every week holds new challenges to overcome.

My style is best described as: Colourful Chic.  I always like to inject colour into my outfit whether it be a little black dress with bright accessories for the evening or a bright top with leggings for the day, I never feel comfortable without colour.  I like to take key pieces from the current season and mix them with a few old faithfuls!

This style icon always has the best shoes… Sarah Jessica Parker because her style varies from occasion to occasion and she stylishly adapts to look good at any event.

My favourite Spring/Summer 09 item is… Dello in neon pink!

On my Spring/Summer 09 Wish List is… Law and Leventie as they are both high and super sexy with earthy tones that will look great against tanned, summer skin.

My favourite Faith item ever is… I have so many, but if you are forcing me to choose, I would have to say….. for everyday my Maddox boots in tan because they are fashionable and individual whilst still being comfortable and for the evening I think Chigwell (I actually have them in 3 colours!) because they are bright, colourful and can completely change the affect of any outfit.

The Spring/Summer 09 trend/story I like best is… Intimate Journey because it is a very varied story incorporating different surface textures, materials and colours.

My fashion advice is… Be happy with what you are wearing, if you feel comfortable and confident it will show! …..Oh and always build your outfit from your shoes up!
