LS: Have you always been into fashion or rather something that grew with you through time?
MD: From a young age I was always interested in Art, Photography as well as Architecture. It was in 2013 where I decided to create an Instagram account and start posting images of myself in the clothing that I like.

LS: What inspires your sense of style and the way in which you put together the looks to post to your feed?
MD: For me my Mom is a big part in everything that I do, alongside that i'm also really inspired by nature simply because its a place where I can feel completely free and I can be myself.

LS :Quite often fashion means different things to different people, what does it mean to yourself?
MD: For me fashion is so much more than just clothing I see fashion as Art, Fantasy and a form of self expression. Fashion has the power to make you feel something.
LS: Your outfits always seem to match your shooting locations, is this something you do intentionally?
MD: Not really, to be honest I usually style myself based upon the mood i'm in or how i'm feeling..
Location: Stuttgart, Germany
LS: How structured is your creative process when shooting your content?
MD: I don't really like planning too much or having some sort of board to plan. For me its always better to go with a freestyle approach and have that feeling of being free.
"Don't let someone change who you are to become what they need"
LS: Around the globe different places adopt
different styles, do you feel your surroundings
have shaped the way you style yourself?
MD: I would say no mainly because most people around here wear more designer clothing and go for the more 'hype' items that are trending.
LS: Finally, what advice would you give to other creators coming up wanting to translate their fashion sense over social?
MD: Be yourself, stop trying to be someone else and wear whatever you like and everything you want. Don't let someone change who you are to become what they need.
