When you think of Kuwait’s greatest exports, international style stars aren’t exactly on the top of the list — but that’s changing thanks to Ascia AKF, one-half of the blogging team behind The Hybrids (her husband, Ahmad, is the other half). A regular street-style presence at the shows, she smartly mixes bold colors and prints and can chicly pull together a look — with a turban, no less — that’s equal parts polished and effortlessly cool. Here wearing Tory’s merino jacquard sweater coat, Marion tweed medium bag and Stardust slip-on sneaker, she shares her personal style tips and advice.

 

My style is…
Ever-changing and influenced mainly by my mood.

And my personal styling trick…
Don’t worry about how your outfit appears to anyone else but you (and maybe your significant other but mostly you!).

My style influences and icons…
People on the street. I love seeing how things I own myself are worn differently by everyone else.

Best style advice received…
Don’t dwell on the pages of a magazine, or even the pages of a blog. The point is never to recreate a look but to make it your own.

My first fashion obsession…
Embarrassingly, it was a completely spiked Birkin look-alike. I wore it everywhere. It was actually really sharp — total weapon material.

In my closet, you’d find the most…
Shoes. More specifically, sneakers. More specifically, slip-on sneakers. So obsessed.
