Define the Season: Anisa Sojka Curates AW18 Partywear

This party season, we’re tearing up the rules. Curated exclusively by fashion influencer Anisa Sojka (@anisasojka), this season’s evening edit comprises high-voltage sequins, bold knits and vivacious velvet devoré, made to be clashed and carried right past the midnight hour…

 

Tell us about the pieces you’ve chosen…

For the festive season I love sequins, glitter and all things that sparkle. They really do get you in the mood for celebration! My gold skirt and dress especially make me feel like a walking disco ball – ready to get the party started. I love the sheer details on the jumpsuit as well, with glitter details that make it unique.

 

How will you be styling them this festive season?

I like to mix and match textures; I find it makes every look more interesting. For example, pairing a simple sweater with a sequin skirt dresses the look down slightly, making the sparkles appropriate for a casual drinks reception. For sequin dresses, a pair of pumps is the usual go-to but I like taking the uncommon route with leather boots to spice it all up a notch.

 

 

How will you be wearing them in the new year?

My orange knit is a year-round purchase. Because it’s a bright colour and not a heavy sweater, it works from spring all the way to winter. Styled with jeans or a skirt, it’ll go with almost anything. The jumpsuit, on first glance, seems like an evening-only option however, pop a chunky sweater on top and it will act as wide leg trousers for the office too. Similarly, mini black bags work from day to night, making them versatile accessories you’ll want hanging around.

 

What’s on your Christmas wish-list this year?

I love the Monsoon rose quartz coasters – the gold detailing is so chic! They would make even my morning coffee feel fancy. I’ve also been obsessed with coats this season and have built up quite the collection so I actually need a new coat stand. Any takers?

 

What’s your ultimate fail-safe gift?

I find a nice set of glasses never fail. Everyone uses glasses and if you’re as clumsy as I am, you find yourself in need of more every now and then.
