Canadian-born fashion blogger and influencer Miki Cheung (also known as Miki à la mode) is a true street style photographers’ favourite, often seen in the best-dressed lists during fashion weeks. With more than 37k followers on Instagram, Miki is a true style icon that we can't get enough of. What we love most about her style is the way that she seamlessly mixes colours, textures, and silhouettes - creating unique and unexpected outfits. Get to know Miki better and discover her favourite brands from Seezona in the interview below.
Chic with a little bit of edge. I like to experiment, try out new trends and wear a lot of colours. I like things that are a little more sexy and androgynous, but there are also days when I feel like wearing something more feminine. I am not afraid to push the boundaries when it comes to fashion, but it always needs to be something I feel comfortable in and that suits my style.
Some pieces have the power to make you feel confident in any situation. Do you have such pieces in your wardrobe? Tell us about what makes them so special to you.
When did you first realize that fashion had a special meaning to you? Do you have a particular memory that you could share with us?
I first realized that fashion would have a special meaning to me when I was in university, where I worked part-time at a publication, and my sister and I were invited to a runway show. It was the first time I had ever seen clothes that beautiful, telling a story as they were coming down the runway. From that moment I got a different view of fashion.
The first defining moment that changed the trajectory of what I wanted to do in life was when I was on the computer researching fashion shows. I remember stumbling upon Elie Saab’s Spring/Summer 2005 Collection and I was so taken by all the beautiful pieces. It made me want to discover more, and from then I knew then I wanted to see an Haute Couture runway show in person.
Time is for me the greatest luxury in life. Luxury to me is having the time and means to do what I want and to be able to live the life that I desire. I like to experience things and discover beautiful places, and always make it a priority to plan trips and travel on a regular basis. I am fortunate enough to now have someone to share this with and to travel for work.
I don’t have any particular role model that I look up to. I am inspired by women who are successful and work very hard to get where they are. I am a strong believer in surrounding myself with supportive individuals and successful people. When I see people who have way more going on in their life than I do and are wildly successful, it pushes me to work harder!
