When all the girls in my school started wearing make-up, I tried this cute French eyeliner situation. I looked like a Picasso painting; it was not working. Then I created this Mich\u00e8le Lamy eyeliner look \u2013 bold, dark triangles on the corner of\u00a0each eye \u2013 which has got smaller over the years. Now\u00a0everyone thinks I\u2019m ill if\u00a0I\u00a0don\u2019t\u00a0wear it. I honestly don\u2019t care what\u00a0brand \u2013 whatever comes my way. Sometimes, the cheaper the better.The last thing I bought and loved was a beautiful, weird Niccol\u00f2 Pasqualetti skirt. It\u2019s very dramatic; the top is leather and it\u2019s silk on the bottom. It\u2019s like a sculpture.\u00a0A place that means a lot to me is New York. I feel at home there, even though I\u2019ve never actually lived there for a long period. I love walking around, being exhausted from walking around and then continuing to walk around. I\u2019m happy in the Financial District, Chinatown, Canal Street \u2013 just New York! Every time you cross the bridge, it\u2019s like, ugh. The dream.\u00a0If you want a good souvenir, go to the\u00a0Ritz Paris. Don\u2019t get a drink. Don\u2019t get\u00a0anything. Just walk in, spend five minutes in there, then go out and say, \u201cOh,\u00a0I\u00a0forgot my lighter.\u201d They give you these beautiful big matches for free.\u00a0The work of art that changed everything for me was Backen: Die Neue\u00a0Grosse Schule [Baking: The New Big School], an old cookbook from the \u201960s. I\u00a0was bored one day, so my mum and I baked a cake from it. It turned out so well because it\u2019s an honest book, not like a lot of\u00a0cookbooks now where there\u2019s a secret ingredient missing or something\u2019s wrong with the measurements. After that, I started baking all\u00a0of the book\u2019s recipes. Cake was the only thing I could talk about.\u00a0My obsession with cakes is based on three pillars: craftsmanship, ephemeral creativity and the fact that everyone loves cake. Cakes are canvas. But there is also something sad about them because they are\u00a0gone at the end of an event. I really want to make a 3m-high steel cake \u2013 so not\u00a0edible. I\u2019m kind of done with eating cake. But if I\u00a0have to, it would be a dark chocolate cake\u00a0with a bit of salt and maybe\u00a0some Nutella ganache.\u00a0I couldn\u2019t do without egg whites and\u00a0sugar \u2013 with that, you can make meringue.\u00a0And that\u2019s the easiest, most beautiful thing you can do.\u00a0I don\u2019t do yoga. Just smoking, drinking Diet Coke and making cakesThe best book I\u2019ve read in the past year is Furiously Happy by Jenny Lawson, her memoir about struggling with depression, then becoming the total opposite because she feels so sad. So she\u2019s acting extremely happy and enjoying life to the fullest, and it helps her to forge new relationships and meet new people, to open up and work through the depression. It\u2019s sad but funny. I\u00a0struggled with depression as a teenager, so I really understood her.The most romantic thing I\u2019ve ever done was when I was young and still believed in love, big time. I had a boyfriend in New York \u2013 he was my New York love \u2013 and I missed him so much that I jumped in\u00a0a taxi, went to the airport, bought a ticket\u00a0and surprised him there. I\u2019d been out\u00a0at a club in Vienna, so I had my passport on me for ID. It was one of the most spontaneous \u2013 and expensive \u2013 things that\u2019s happened to me.\u00a0The podcast I\u2019m listening to is a German one called Geschichten aus der Geschichte about little stories in history that\u00a0led to big events. It\u2019s nice if you work long hours alone like I do. Then, when I\u2019m tired of intellectual podcasts, I listen to Call Her Daddy, which is just yapping, yapping, yapping. I\u2019m not proud of it, but I enjoy it.My style icon is my mum, who was always \u2013 and still is \u2013 so into fashion. She explained Dries Van Noten to me when I was four, then went to the store and made baby Dries\u00a0clothes \u2013 she was at fashion school. Everything I know about fashion comes from her. Otherwise, I\u2019ve loved Leandra Medine Cohen since I was a teenager, and if I don\u2019t know what to wear, my style icon is Courtney Trop, aka @alwaysjudging. She\u2019s very punk but still high fashion.\u00a0The best gift I\u2019ve given recently was a \u201990s Dries Van Noten denim jacket from a private shopper who has a massive archive of Dries and Raf and Haider Ackermann, to\u00a0my best friend. He loves Dries. He loves denim. He loves black. So it\u00a0was a good gift.\u00a0And the best gift I\u2019ve received is a Chanel Camellia brooch my mum bought when she was pregnant with me. For my birthday this year, she passed it on. I was obsessed with it as a little kid. I rarely wear it because I\u2019m so afraid to lose it. It\u2019s a real treasure.\u00a0The last item of clothing I added to\u00a0my wardrobe was the JW Anderson cake-slice bag. It\u2019s a Victoria sponge clutch.\u00a0I had to have it.The last music I downloaded was by Fakemink, a niche artist from the UK. And\u00a0then a playlist by Bitschu Batschu, an Austrian DJ, which is \u201990s techno-inspired and very bipolar. There\u2019s Cher, Whitney and\u00a0Johnny Cash, but also Scooter and Joost. We have a big techno scene here in Vienna \u2013 very extreme and very good. And it\u2019s fun \u2013 not like Berlin\u2019s techno scene.I have a collection of McDonald\u2019s Happy Meal toys that has been going since I was a little kid. They\u2019re everywhere in my house. I\u00a0have almost the entire Little Mermaid collection, and The Jungle Book, Mowgli and all that. More recently there\u2019s been a lot\u00a0of Pok\u00e9mon going on at McDonald\u2019s.\u00a0The most extravagant cake I\u2019ve created was a white one with different shades of red and orange edible wafer elements that I made in the Moroccan desert for a VIP client. It was so difficult to\u00a0work there. Cakes don\u2019t belong in the desert \u2013 and this one was massive. Then I\u00a0made a really pretty cake in Florence for a\u00a0crazy wedding. That was a very big, very extra vanilla, white chocolate and strawberry cake with gold and pink elements.\u00a0In my fridge you\u2019ll always find Diet Coke and frozen peas. I\u2019m a massive pea person. I barely work in Vienna any more, so most of the time my fridge is kind of empty. But I do have a lot of emergency pre-baked cake layers in my freezer in case I get a last-minute request \u2013 like today! I might have to be in London tomorrow.I believe in life after death because I hate endings. I don\u2019t even want to think about an\u00a0end. I\u2019m sad when the party ends. I\u2019m\u00a0sad when my birthday is over. I\u2019m even\u00a0sad on New Year\u2019s Eve because the year is gone and can never come back. I\u00a0have a big imagination.\u00a0An indulgence I would never forgo is\u00a0chocolate, which I eat every day, no matter\u00a0what. I like milk chocolate \u2013 and\u00a0then I don\u2019t really care. I could say dark\u00a0chocolate with a little bit of salt, blah\u00a0blah. But I just love Galaxy Minstrels and Cadbury Buttons.\u00a0An object I would never part with is a\u00a0little monkey I got when I was one day old.\u00a0It comes on all of my travels \u2013 to my graduation, to big jobs. Otherwise, a pair of\u00a0sparkling Chanel heels. I\u2019d already tried them on about 25 times over the year. And then I saw them in Selfridges after doing a big job in London where, for some reason, I\u2019d been paid in cash. I paid for them in \u00a320 notes. I love those shoes.\u00a0The best way to spend \u20ac20 is on a Diet Coke, olives and Marlboro Lights. Sit at H\u00f4tel Costes in Paris and people-watch.The artists whose work I would collect if I could are Robert Nava \u2013 his\u00a0work is so childish, but also punk and intense \u2013 and Daniel Spoerri, who was known for his food pictures. If you see one of his tablescapes, you imagine a\u00a0fun dinner with friends; they\u2019re beautiful, but also\u00a0dirty and cool. And\u00a0Cy\u00a0Twombly, who was\u00a0influential when I was falling in love with cakes. When I see a Cy Twombly sculpture, I see a cake.I\u2019m really bad with skincare \u2013 like, really bad.\u00a0I\u00a0do wear perfume \u2013 currently I\u2019m wearing Bottega\u00a0Veneta Colpo di Sole \u2013 and I like\u00a0Isamaya\u2019s products, but mainly because of\u00a0the packaging. She makes me interested in\u00a0beauty. Otherwise, I\u00a0could not care less. I\u00a0don\u2019t own a gua sha. I don\u2019t go to\u00a0beauty treatments. I don\u2019t do yoga. Just\u00a0smoking, drinking Diet Coke and making cakes. Bottega Veneta Colpo di Sole,\u00a0\u00a3350 for 100ml EDPDover Street Market in Paris always calms me down. I don\u2019t even buy much \u2013 I just touch the clothesMy favourite building is Dover Street Market in Paris. It\u2019s so stupid, but it always calms me down. I don\u2019t even buy much there \u2013 I just touch the clothes. Before a big\u00a0exam in high school, I always went to\u00a0Zara to calm down. And \u2013 also a bit weird\u00a0\u2013 if I pass soft white bread in the supermarket, I just have to touch it. Then\u00a0I\u2019m like, which loaf is the softest?\u00a0Love is trust and feeling at home with\u00a0someone. You can be your true self\u00a0without\u00a0any compromises. It\u2019s not always\u00a0happy, it\u2019s just comfort and knowing\u00a0that someone is there. No matter\u00a0how crazy I am, no matter how far\u00a0away I\u00a0am, that person is waiting for me.\u00a0I don\u2019t know if it\u2019s sparkles and stuff; those fade. Maybe love is being a best friend, with the desire to kiss someone.\u00a0In another life, I would have been a\u00a0plastic surgeon. I love optimisation. When\u00a0I\u00a0was a teenager, I wanted to become\u00a0a doctor. I even studied medicine for a year. But then I was too obsessed with\u00a0cakes. I mean, the sculpturing part is\u00a0kind of the same, and it\u2019s all about symmetry which I love.\u00a0I\u2019ve recently rediscovered my love for Austrian food. I spend so much time in the US, I\u2019m always like, \u201cMy mom\u2019s soup \u2013 a bone broth with dumplings, carrots and chives \u2013 or sauerkraut would be so good right now.\u201d Everything\u2019s so processed out there \u2013 it just doesn\u2019t taste real. There was a long period where I only wanted Asian food or sushi; Austrian food was not cool and very beige. But actually, it\u2019s really good\u2026 and pretty.\u00a0My Instagram \u201cFor You\u201d page is mostly made up of old ladies talking about their relationships, how they do their hair or how they\u2019re dressed. And also a lot of art stuff \u2013 like artists explaining exhibitions. A bit boring.\u00a0A way to make me laugh is to be funny without realising it, like being clumsy. I also have one friend who has had so many dating fails. They\u2019re all really bad\u2026 I don\u2019t think I can tell you about them.When I need to feel inspired, I check out certain Instagram feeds, mostly fashion brands, usually Maison Margiela because it is so artsy and there\u2019s so much darkness to it. If I have total freedom, my cakes are dark or very structural. Margiela is my number one inspiration. Otherwise, I leave my apartment, listen to extremely loud techno and run around the city.\u00a0My favourite room in my house is my wardrobe. It used to be my bedroom as a kid; I took over this apartment when my parents moved out. One day I decided to kick everything out of my old bedroom \u2013 I destroyed the floor because I was pushing everything \u2013 and built a wardrobe in there, which is very chaotic. It\u2019s my little treasure room.\u00a0My favourite apps are Momondo, where I book all my flights, and Vestiaire Collective to go to sleep with. I never buy anything, but I fill my wishlist. Then I fall asleep. The best thing I\u2019ve bought is a beautiful pair of Herm\u00e8s horseriding boots for literally no money. They were so cheap\u2026 I think there was a mistake.The best bit of advice I ever received was from my dad when I started my business. I was very young \u2013 19 or 20 \u2013 and\u00a0he told me to keep every receipt for\u00a0my\u00a0taxes. I\u2019m not very good at accepting\u00a0advice, so I threw away all my\u00a0receipts for\u00a0two years. Then I had a\u00a0massive\u00a0problem with my tax guy. I\u00a0started\u00a0listening\u00a0to my dad.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summarize this content to 2000 words in 6 paragraphs in Arabic My personal style signifier is my eyeliner, which I\u2019ve worn since I was 14.
