Rivkie is a fashion editor, writer and stylist with twenty years' experience in the industry. Having studied design and pattern cutting at the London College of Fashion, Rivkie fell in love with styling and journalism, covering fashion weeks in London, Paris and New York, as well as shooting editorial all over the world.
With a specialism in plus size fashion, Rivkie has long championed that style is for everyBODY and has been a regular talking head on a host of radio stations and television shows, pushing for greater representation for plus size women and fashion throughout her career. Having written for the likes of the OK! magazine, NEW magazine, Daily Mirror, Daily Express and Stylist.co.uk, Rivkie loves putting together accessible looks for all budgets and styles and believes in quality over quantity, preferring to invest in items she'll love for years to come. Rivkie's career highlights include styling international photoshoots and delivering the final task on Scandinavia's Next Top Model (curve series), living out her Top Model presenting dream.
We asked all our fashion writers to share a little more about their style and their fashion mistakes - because we've all been there.
1. Your earliest fashion memory
Red t-bar buckled shoes and a floral dress that I used to wear to everyone's birthday parties, I was about 4 and the dress had buttons down the front instead of the back, which seemed quite out there at that age.
2. Your biggest fashion faux pas
Thinking that blue eyeliner went with everything. I also had a very prolonged emo/punk stage. I was fully into pop music but was also very dedicated to black wide leg corduroy pants and heft platform boots. It was a vibe.
3. The trend you can't wait to try this season
I'm always pleased when I see sequins on the agenda - championing day sequins has been a long-term thing for me. I'd also really like to invest in a new bomber jacket, my leather bomber jacket I fear has finally got too worn - it has been with me (second-hand) for over a decade.
4. The three pieces in your capsule wardrobe you can't live without
Trainers - I am always racing around so flat, comfy footwear is a must, a crossbody bag for hands-free carrying, and sunglasses.
5. Describe your style in 5 words
Boho, sporty, bright, smart/casual.
