Lianne Lam, a regular on the social circuit and a frequent entry on our best-dressed lists, talks about style, her most memorable fashion experience and the perks of being a loyal client
One look at Lianne Lam—taking in her immaculate hair and make-up, her tailored outfits and the attention to detail evident in each and every ensemble—and you can’t help but admire her commitment to always looking her best.
When she’s not busy conquering the legal world—the mother of two is a lawyer at Peabody Nixon CWL—she’s engaged in a hectic schedule of social engagements, often in the company of husband Matthew, not to mention plenty of travel, such as to Paris for Fashion Week and to tour Coco Chanel’s apartment. Here, we talk to Lianne about her sense of style, her go-to designers and the perks of being a loyal client of some of the world’s most powerful fashion houses.
How would you define your style?
My friends like to label my sense of style as elegant and feminine, but my approach to dressing is to put on something that makes you feel good, makes you look good, and that suits your schedule for the day.
Who are your favourite designers?
I firmly believe that it’s better to invest in something classic than to buy into a fast-fashion trend. There are certain designers I’m loyal to because of their aesthetic and commitment to producing high-quality classic collections. I tend to lean towards fashion houses like Chanel, Hermès and Christian Dior. However, I’m starting to experiment and wear different designers from time to time. I love some of the colourful prints that Gucci and Moschino have produced recently.
