Her Favourite Daily Outfit

When I asked Ankha van Ayken what her ideal daily outfit would look like, she chose something that felt both elegant and unmistakably her own. What I liked about that answer was how naturally it combined refinement with a strong personal edge, bringing together nice high heels, a beautiful coat, and a silhouette that felt styled rather than exaggerated. It gave the shoot a sense of character, as if the look was not just a fantasy but a real extension of how she likes to present herself.

There was also a very clear confidence in the way she approached tight dressing, because she did not want restraint to be a small detail but an essential part of the whole look. That became especially visible in her decision to choose the 18-inch corset, which pushed the styling into something even more defined and deliberate. For me, that choice said a lot about her taste because it showed she was drawn to precision, structure, and the kind of silhouette that immediately changes how a presence is perceived.

What made the session so interesting was this balance between glamour and control. The outfit felt polished and expressive, but it also carried the intensity that comes from knowing exactly what feels right to the wearer. That is what stayed with me most, because the shoot was not simply about showing a striking look, but about capturing a version of Ankha that felt intentional, self-aware, and completely at ease in her own aesthetic.
