Earlier this year, Indonesian-born female boss and fashionista, Tutus Kurniati took the Middle Eastern fashion market by storm. Though, having only launched her stylish, self entitled e-retailer this July, her brand has already collaborated with a huge name, fashion blogger and Instagram sensation, Chiara Ferragni. After falling in love with the fabulous designs, we'd thought it'd be fitting to have a chat to the force behind the luxury resort wear brand to better understand her plans for regional domination.

Jennifer Aniston from FRIENDS, Victoria Beckham and of course, Carrie Bradshaw. Growing up, I looked up to these women's sense of style, as well as the way they carried themselves.

Can you describe your style in three words?
A combination of chic, smart, and feminine.
