As a stylist and Fashion Editor at Vogue Hommes International in Paris, Azza Yousif knows a thing or two about creating the ultimate wardrobe. Staple pieces are the bedrock of her sharp personal style. Yousif curates her closet with tried-and-true basics such as tailored blazers, pencil skirts, roomy trousers, trench coats and suits that every woman needs. Sticking to the classics from designers like Yves Saint Laurent, Alaia and Lanvin worn with statement shoes ensures Yousif will always look current. She puts her looks together with an artful nonchalance, like when she paired a dressy silk YSL steel blue wrap skirt with a casual chambray shirt. Yousif makes looking chic easy!
In this interview with Outnet.com, the fashion editor delves deeper into her Style DNA. Yousif shares her closet must-haves, her influences (’70s and ’80s YSL) and how it’s so worth investing the time and money into scoring the perfect unadorned essentials when building a classically cool wardrobe.

[…] a Vogue Hommes International fashion editor who is hardly photographed ( we featured Yousif in our Style DNA.) Many street-style blogs have sadly become similar to flipping through glossies and seeing the same […]
Yes! Yes! I couldn’t agree with you more. It’s always the same ones over and over again and all of the well dressed unknowns are bypassed because of the popularity quotient.
@Von New faces keep things interesting, right? Would love to see more of Azza on street-style blogs.
