This Australian TikToker has an incredible style—here are the items she's inspired me to purchase.

      Camelia Farhoodi has been one of my favorite follows on TikTok for years. Residing in Melbourne, she has an exceptional sense of style. Her fashion is both chic and minimalist, infused with a darker, artistic flair that feels authentic and lived-in. There’s an effortless quality to her outfits: sleek, refined basics combined with a seamless blend of comfort and sophistication. While she frequently opts for all black, her looks never come across as dull. Picture Tom Ford sunglasses, a Calvin Klein turtleneck, a Nina Ricci skirt, and a Siricco jacket (as seen in one of her recent posts). The little details always feel unique and purposeful. Her aesthetic goes beyond clothing; the same subtle style is evident in her home decor and beauty selections. Through her visual language, Farhoodi has crafted a space that is distinctly hers, leading to collaborations with brands like Jacquemus, Chanel Beauty, Rhode, Prada, and Mango, as well as design partnerships with NA-KD and Lioness. I had the opportunity to talk to her about her personal style and the pieces she currently loves.

      I'd love to know more about your background and what initially sparked your interest in fashion. Do you have any significant memories related to it or a summary of your journey? I've always had a creative drive, from my earliest memories of borrowing my mum's makeup to organizing fashion shows with my grandma's clothes. During high school, before I started working, I spent my allowance at my favorite thrift shop every week, hoping to find numerous pieces. I focused on the fabrics rather than the garments themselves. I would modify items, transforming a size 16 lambskin leather top into a halterneck and miniskirt with a pair of blunt scissors. Once I entered the workforce, I explored various creative paths to discover my true calling. I worked as a self-taught makeup artist for events, weddings, and for friends and family. I was also a trainee at a spa, learning skills like manicures, pedicures, and waxing. Additionally, I worked in retail and hospitality for over five years, juggling double shifts. I enjoyed all my jobs, giving my best effort in everything, but none felt quite right. When I was in retail, COVID hit. Stuck at home with a closet full of unworn thrifted clothes, I decided to start taking photos in my outfits. From then on, I spent the rest of my time during COVID photographing looks with help from my boyfriend or younger brother. My partner, a photographer/videographer/director, and I began shooting together for fun during the pandemic… until we both got signed by the same agency! We worked through COVID together, with brands sending us looks to shoot whole campaigns from home using his equipment. The rest is history!

      How would you describe your personal style? Clean, fresh, and comfortable. A touch sexy, a touch androgynous.

      What are the must-haves in your capsule wardrobe? I believe everyone looks their best when they are comfortable and simplified. That said, I can't do without my high-quality basics, whether new or vintage. I always reach for black silk pants (something that feels comfortable but looks luxurious), a classic black tank top, a vintage Jil Sander lightweight wool knit, and ballerina flats.

      Is there a particular outfit formula you find yourself repeating frequently? I’m a creature of habit, so unfortunately, yes. Once I find something I like, I wear it until I can’t stand to look at it anymore. It’s not a formula, but rather pieces that make me feel comfortable and confident, which is usually an all-black ensemble 90% of the time. Black suits my natural features and tones well, so when I'm not feeling my best, I can always rely on that. A vintage pair of satin stretch pants, a black tank top, a leather jacket, oversized sunglasses, and pointed boots never let me down.

      Where do you find new brands? I often discover new brands through other content creators on TikTok—the video format and seeing clothing in motion is especially engaging. I really enjoy the TikTok community and how they style their outfits, which always inspires me.

      Do you have any style icons? Definitely. I’m a big fan of the Olsen twins. Some say I could be the third sister! I’m drawn to their casual and chic aesthetic—wool coats over flip-flops, tousled braids. The effortless vibe of looking like you just woke up but still look great is so appealing to me. I love lived-in looks that feel authentic.

      Could you share some of your favorite TikTok accounts? I have so many favorites, but if I had to highlight a few current ones, they would be @levi.coralynn (I could watch her videos all day; she makes me feel confident in my own skin), @brown.lexi (incredible style, always inspiring), @alinatimoo (I’m
