Former jewellery designer turned brand consultant, Leila Kashanipour has carved out her own lane by doing what she does best: perfecting the art of the finishing touch. Now a content creator, she understands the power of accessories to elevate an outfit and masterfully mixes prints, textures, statement pieces, and under-the-radar brands to create looks that are distinctly hers. As schools break up and summer holidays fast approach, we asked her, as one of our Marie Claire Masters, to give us the lowdown on what she packs for her summer getaways. Here, she shares everything she packed for a week in Marbella with her mother.
For a stay at the iconic Marbella Club, my approach to packing centred on one quietly brilliant philosophy: the power of the set. Coordinated pieces require less deliberation and deliver instant, considered style. A kind of automatic elegance that removes the guesswork entirely.
