Hand luggage; I love my Rimowa suitcase. I plan outfits for each day I am away to cut down on packing with a couple of extra items, if space permits.I travelled so much as a model and still do today, so I being comfortable and well organised are key. My go-to travel wardrobe is joggers, a comfy crew-neck sweater, thick socks and sneakers. I also bring a scarf – as the air conditioning on long haul flights can be ferocious. I accessorise with my Birkin bag and some gold jewellery.
Both! I love to wear bikini to a beach, but I often wear a swimsuit as a body paired with my favourite denim shorts. This way I am always prepared to jump in the sea!Definitely a pareo – it’s an absolute summer must-have and is so versatile; you can style it short or long or even as a dress for a beach to city look. Our Alicia Swim SS23 collection is vibrant and colourful – just like my home island of Mauritius.
