📸 What if Your First iPhone Photo Was Pure Backstage Chaos?

Ever scroll all the way back in your camera roll? 🌀 This is the oldest photo on my iPhone, snapped on 15 februari 2025 inside the costume shop at the theatre where I’ve worked since 2008 🎭. Fourteen shows later… and this messy little moment still makes me smile 😅.

I'm in full chaotic fashion mode:

🐆 Leopard print beanie from Giambattista Valli x H&M

🧣 Baby blue + beige H&M Studio scarf

🎨 White sweatshirt from the Basquiat x H&M collab

👖 Brown faux leather trousers

👟 White chunky sole trainers from Eytys x H&M

 The costume shop behind me? A glorious mess of wigs, garments, steamers, and secrets 🤫. It’s not always this wild… or maybe it is 👀.

Here’s the truth: I’m not a great tailor 🙃 — but luckily, being a dresser is more about being fast, creative, and knowing how to mend anything with one eye closed and a coffee in hand ☕🪡. And that, my friend, I am good at 💪🏼.

This pic is cluttered, real, and 100% me: working, thriving, and wearing five fashion collabs at once 😆. Proof that inspiration doesn’t need to be polished. Sometimes, it’s just... backstage chaos caught in the flash 📸✨.
