Who What Wear Australia: What's the office like? In terms of people, culture, and interiors?
D: The office itself is incredibly chic and very "Dior". Vintage Dior photographs are found all over the white office walls. Every day I was surrounded by hard working, beautiful, and intelligent women. I've always thought of the luxury industry as a swan. Beautiful above the water but you know she's busy underneath. I also believe what makes one great, whether they are a couturier or a perfumer, is their attention to detail, little details really count!
WWW: What did you wear to your interview and how did you land your first job in luxury fashion?
D: As you can imagine, I went through a number of interviews, four to be exact, to land the job at Dior. My first interview I wore a floral shift dress. Christian Dior was inspired by his love of flowers. Flowers are a core identity to Christian Dior's roots and heritage. Speaking to my manager after I was hired, she mentioned I stood out by showing I had an understanding of the brand without having to say much. The last and final interview, I was inspired to keep things classic and wore a white top and a full black skirt. My efforts were recognised straight away, as they they commented on my outfit as "very Dior" with a smile. Tick! Tick! One thing I kept consistent during my interviews was my nails and ensured my makeup was immaculate.
