Second Part of Leading Ladies of Diplomacy: Ibu Retno, Ms Bishop and Mrs Clinton
Happy Friday
fashionista!
As promised last
week, today the second part of Leading Ladies of Diplomacy will center at the style
note and fashion savvy of Her Excellency Ms Julie Bishop, Australian first
female Foreign Minister.
“Throw on a pair of
killer red heels and you can feel like taking on the world” as fabulously
stated by the Australian Foreign Minister, Ms Julie Bishop when asked about her
personal style in an exclusive interview with News Corp Australia recently. Ms
Bishop further added that “Shoes are part of your self-expression, they can
give you confidence. I think they’re so important”.
You ruleee, Ms Bishop!
I am a big fan of women wearing red shoes. Honestly, I concur with her belief
on the essential role of shoes to add that so needed final touch in completing
an overall look.
Another part of the
interview also reveals Ms Bishop’s deep understanding in promoting the most
appropriate Australian image through the right choice of her wardrobe.
While she has worn some
pieces from her hometown Perth favourite designer, Isabel Aujoulet, she is
also known of her Armani power suits and pretty dresses, one of which she wears
to grace the cover of Australian WHO’s magazine in 2014 Most Intriguing People.
Louboutin, Vuitton and Rossi are some of those high heeled shoes which have
adorned her lovely feet.
I simply adore how she
can do an elegant mix and match between Australian designer dresses with a
French designer clutch and pair of stilletos. This is, indeed, how fashion
diplomacy of a foreign minister should look like in the 21st
century. Fashion ensemble as a part of each country’s culture should blend with
other ensemble coming from other countries and together these pieces will blend
into a lovely tapestry.
Vogue Australia editor Edwina
McCann said Ms Bishop is “incredibly well put-together” and that “She’s managed
to really own that corporate look but make it unapologetically fashionable as
well”.
Acknowledgement
to Ms Bishop’s style by the leading authority in Australian mode industry has
added to the fact that the Australian Foreign Minister knows very well her
capability in boosting her country’s economic diplomacy through fashion.
Thumbs
up to Ms Bishop who also runs daily in order to keep a healthy and fit body.
Indeed, it is very important for any diplomat and those working in public
offices to keep their good health by working out regularly as Ms Bishop has
demonstrated.
One thing I adore the
most about Ms Bishop’s dressing style is that she does not feel intrigued in
admitting that she would like to have Carrie Bradshaw’s walk in wardrobe from
the enigmatic Sex and The City serials.
Ditto, Your
Excellency!!! Let’s build a walk in wardrobe as grand as Carrie’s to fill our
most treasured possessions, FASHION and SHOES!!!
Stay tuned for next
week’s final part on Leading Ladies of Diplomacy which will cover the former US
Secretary of State and Presidential candidate, the enchanting Mrs Hillary Clinton.
