As a man, I know nothing about style or fashion but I know a lady who does.
Aria Absinthe was crowned 2025 Ambassador for LUXEParis at a star studded event on the 27th of July and I took a few minutes to discuss her win, her style and her inspirations.
------
Mack: So First Off Well done again on your win, how do you feel?
Aria: It hasn't really sunk in yet for me. I am still I guess kind of in shock. lol It's an absolute honour to be able to represent Luxe Paris.
Mack: So what made you want to enter in the first place?
Aria: I have worked with the ladies of Luxe Paris on a few occasions as I was part of LQ for many years. I think the team there is amazing. Avalon Chrome first introduced me into the world of fashion shortly after she won Look of the year. I love what Luxe Paris stands for, and what they bring to the community here.
Mack: So what extra qualities do you think you'll bring to LUXEParis and the community there?
Aria: I feel I bring a passion to learn new things, I would love to design clothes some day. I have an energy, I seem to put my whole heart into anything I decide to do.
Mack: On the day, why did you pick the outfit you wore that won you the contest?
Aria: I was given Parisian Nights as my theme. To me I first thought of Montmarte styles and instantly Moulin Rouge feels. The dress I chose was bold, and seemed like it demanded attention. A muse , mysterious and confident. I live by the quote "Those who do not take risks never truly live." And I felt this look embodied that.
Mack: It was an excellent choice I must say, so who are your style icons? Who would you like to have been in a past life?
Aria: Coco Chanel. to me she is just the epitome of classic design and and elegance. she was cutting edge to me.
Mack: And the money would have come in handy too?
Aria: Oh yes, but would it make you happy? Maybe, who knows for sure?
Mack: So when it comes to personal fashion statements, what statements do you like to make?
Aria: I usually with go for something a little more edgy. I love piecing different looks together, to make something brand new, something never seen.
Mack: Does the look change with the seasons or do you have a go to look all year round?
Aria: My look does change for the seasons. I do love the classic holiday looks, Christmas and ballgowns for new years. I tend to flop between edgy styles and then super classic styles .
Mack: What's you must have accessory for any outfit?
Aria: My must have accessory, would have to be the earrings. The earrings can either dress a look up or down. The style the size the length of the dangle all can have a major impact on the look of the outfit. The earrings are also closest to the face, and play an important role in the overall look of the face as well. If you go bold, or maybe bring out the colour in your eyes.
Mack: Thank you for that, last question, what do you think is going to be in for the Autumn season?
Aria: For the autumn season, I feel like more bold jewel tones will be in, more leathers, and wools, browns, with bold mustards and burnt oranges. It seems those are the things I have seen and grown to love about autumn.
Mack: Well thank you for your time, enjoy being the 2025 Ambassador for LUXEParis.
Aria: My pleasure thank you.
