We recently caught up with creative, model and The Bali Tailor muse, Layla Vanden Bergh. Get to know Layla.
Please, tell us a little bit about yourself!
Hi my name is Layla, I’m an Australian/Māori model missing two teeth! I’ve been modelling 3-4 years, now leaning into styling and creative direction learning deeper about the fashion world.
You’re currently based on Bundjalung country - did you grow up here? What are the 3 things you love most about the area?
Yes I am based Bundjalung country but I’m actually from Darkinjung, Central Coast. I moved up in January 2023 to pursue modelling in a different market and to be closer to my boyfriend <3. I absolutely love the mixture of city hustle, beach coastal lifestyle, farms and reserves. It’s so unique! Oooo I’d have to say:
1. The Bathhouse At Ground Currumbin
2. Food options (Danbo Ramen especially)
3. Waterfalls/hikes
What does your ideal capsule wardrobe look like?
Ooo tough one to answer because my style is ever changing as I grow older and experiment but I feel like these pieces will always be in my ‘capsule wardrobe’:
You recently shot with our Stella Fringe Bag in Yellow. How do you style colour into your everyday wardrobe?
Love this bag! When I first saw The Stella Fringe Bag I thought it would’ve been a difficult piece to style but it was actually such a pleasant challenge. I love to let the bag talk for itself, so keeping the outfit calm and cool is key for me.
Option 1. Baggy jeans, box tee, with a chunky button up sweater, cool eyewear and flats
Option 2. A sheer dress, pair of The Bali Tailor sandals, layered jewellery and sunglasses
What is your favourite way to spend a Sunday?
The perfect Sunday is to indulge in any of the below accompanied by my boyfriend <3
