Candice Brathwaite is a critically acclaimed author, journalist, and presenter. If you’re not already one of her 300K+ followers on Instagram, you’re truly missing out. Renowned for her upbeat GRWM videos that effortlessly blend important messages about body positivity and racial representation, Candice’s latest achievement is her book Manifest - a practical guide to unlocking the life you deserve, including the wardrobe of your dreams.
It’s safe to say that Candice has one of the most coveted wardrobes in Britain, so you can imagine my excitement at being invited for a tour. Her outfits are colourful and fabulous; they would inspire even the most devoted monochrome dressers to step out of their all-black uniform. Walking into Candice’s dressing room, it’s immediately clear how much she loves clothes. The rail she has prepared is bursting with designer pieces from brands like Oscar de la Renta, Saint Laurent, and Prada. However, she assures me that she is just as fond of high-street finds. Case in point: she’s currently wearing an H&M corset paired with Abercrombie & Fitch jeans.
