Eclectic is the key word to describe Belgian model Hanne Gaby Odiele's style. She effortlessly manages to mix funky prints, vintage pieces and designer duds for a unique look that is all her own. An exciting dresser, Hanne builds her wardrobe from an assortment of interesting random pieces. A true fashion chameleon, she shifts gracefully from one style to the next. Her look is all about mixing funky brights with fine tailored pieces, combining patterns and textures that ordinarily would not fit together, and dressing up a simple band tee or denim jacket with couture making it fiercely fashionable. Her talent for eclectic dressing is quite admirable and inspiring. I love her use of statement pieces, ethnic print jackets, a leather and lace Christopher Kane dress, pony hair animal print flats, bright socks, and of course, that swoonworthy yellow PS1 bag. Hanne's look is about taking risks, so just say "yes" to that over-the-top print or acid green handbag.
