From Meetings to Soirées

Everyone has struggled with finding the perfect outfit, one which you can wear both to work and to social events after. Katrina Ponnampalam Chia decided to solve this problem by founding WILKA. The label emphasises that form and functionality can come hand in hand, producing pieces which look great whether you’re attending a work meeting, or walking down the red carpet. Later, Emma Chong-Johnston talks about a summery, flowery style trend: floral slides.
