Between spending her time modelling for friends in their editorial projects, creating content for social media and pursuing commercial and editorial clients, Evonne Saw is also keeping busy tinkering with Fat Cat Coffee Club, a small coffee bar which she co-owns.

The content creator who often turns heads at events with her striking makeup and goth lolita-esque vibe finds it difficult to describe her personal style.

“I enjoy dressing to the occasion,” says Saw, 27. “I suppose if there was a way I could describe my style, it would be ‘super villain-ness doing a grocery run’,” she says.

What is your favourite go-to look?

A maxi skirt with a tailored top that defines the waist and heavy chunky Marc Jacobs Kiki boots.
