REBECCA MENICHELLA

"Attitude really is the key."

OO: Do you remember your very first vintage find?
Rebecca: Not my very first, but one of the most loved: in 2018 I found a pair of Chanel motorcycle boots from FW 2003, designed by Karl Lagerfeld. They’ve basically become an extension of my feet ever since!

OO: Your nonna is the chicest woman on Instagram. What fashion lesson has she taught you?
Rebecca: Growing up with her, I learned that attitude really is the key. The way you carry yourself says a lot, it’s all about how you choose to show up in the world: your posture, your presence, the energy you bring… that’s what makes style personal, clothes are a plus!

OO: What’s one piece every closet should have?
Rebecca: A tuxedo. I got a custom one when I was 16 and went through a phase where I wore it to every party. I first saw it in a scene from “Flashdance” as a kid, the shirt was basically a bodysuit with a deep open back, and the cuffs peeked out from under the jacket. I wanted to be like the guys: one suit, no fuss. But in the end … I prefer the fun chaos of my closet.

OO: What’s always in your bag?
Rebecca: Keys, wallet, lip balm, tangled earphones… and a surprising amount of forgotten paper scraps: dry cleaning, cinema, museums. Basically, my bag is part purse, part archive.

OO: Favorite city to shop in?
Rebecca: 1st place: Paris! (and Tokyo). Though I have to admit, some of my absolute favorite finds came from the most unexpected places.
