5 Minutes 5 Questions: Rony Walia

Here is a picture of stylist Rony Walia working with Miss World Canada contestant Jasmeen Johal. I also had the pleasure of working with Rony on Valentine’s Day during my signing for The Love List at Holt Renfrew. We had so much fun dishing about fashion that I had to interview him.

Here is 5 questions/5 minutes with stylist Rony Walia.

1) How long have you lived in Vancouver?

Born and raised in this amazing city.

2) Describe your style in 3 words.

Black, abnormal, and clean.

3) What interests you about fashion?

I love the world of fashion, the hardships, the rewards ect. I LIVE for fashion week. Fashion is truly what helped me become the person i am. I can express how i feel, want to feel, or even how i am going to feel that day just by putting my outfit together. The world of fashion is also forever expanding, there is something new to learn everyday. With my attention span i need a career that keeps me on my toes everyday.

4) Tell me about your favourite accessory and why.

I have to say a watch is my favorite accessory. It keeps you looking put together but, you can also dress it up and make the look very edgy. The watch is a forever piece, its been around and is not going anywhere. I actually advise anyone to own a nice timeless watch. My go to watch right now is a silver / bronze metal mix Breitling.

5) Name three characteristics (in no particular order) on your Love List?

I say intelligent, caring, and well rounded. By well rounded i mean someone who is multicultural, and can hold a conversation in most topics. (I am a talker)

5 Minutes 5 Questions: Janelle Burger

I had the unique opportunity to finally meet this talented artist whose CV includes Net-A-Porter! Here is my short interview with the illustrator for The Love List, Janelle Burger!

5 minutes/5 questions with Janelle Burger…

1) How long have you lived in Paris?

I have lived in Paris for 5 years and 5 months and 5 days! (no joke) 

2) What is your favourite thing to eat in Paris?

French butter, sounds weird but the dairy here is so so creamy and delicious. I think the secret ingredient in French cooking must be the butter.

3) When did you start illustrating/drawing?

I’ve always been drawing a painting since I was a little kid, I took it on as a job when I moved over to Paris. I got here just after the financial crisis and jobs were hard to come by, still are too. So I worked for an agency for 2 years then went full time freelance and never looked back.

4) Is there anywhere particular where do you draw your fabulous illustrations?

I do everything at my desk in my bedroom. If I’m watching tv in the other room I’ll relocate everything to my kitchen table. One of these days I’ll have a studio!

5) Name three characteristics (in no particular order) on your Love List?

I love a sane, stable funny man.
