Finnish writer Pihla Hintikka, shot in Montmartre (Paris) // photos by Olivia da Costa 1/ What do you do ? Finnish freelance journalist and scriptwriter. I write for Finnish and international magazines and occasionally work as a model. 2/ Where do you live ? In Paris since almost six years. 3/ Your fashion icons ? I never really had a fashion icon but I love French nouvelle vague movies' characters. 4/ Your favorite colors ? Black in clothing. But I love to mix it with other colors like white, red and grey etc. 5/ Your style : night or day ? I wear mostly dresses, which I pimp up with accessories and fancier heels for the evening. My daytime and evening style are still pretty similar. 6/ 3 words or a short sentence to describe your style: Minimalist, black and a bit rock n roll. 7/ You can't leave your home without... (your basics...) Having a cup of morning coffee to start the day. 8/ Paper or web addict ? Paper of course!
