This mini street-fashion photoshoot was no hurdle for twenty-one-year-old Maitre d' and model CHANDEE THORBURN. We enter her world of elegant style, as she dons beautiful cream lace garments and contrasting grunge blacks. She is flawless in her Jeffrey Campbell 'Lita's' and parades at ease in her rough and rigid black patent Dr. Martens.

This girl knows how to flaunt anything in her closet. Below we get an insider's look into Chandee's wardrobe and took a few snaps of a few of her favourite outfits...

COUP DE MAIN: What inspires you each day to create your outfits?
CHANDEE THORBURN: I just look at my wardrobe and kinda go: "What's the weather like today?" So it usually depends on the weather or where I'm going. But generally, the clothes that I wear during the day and during the night time are quite similar... Or it depends on who I am meeting up with!

CDM: I see a lot of lace in the pieces you brought along today - is that what you look for when you go shopping?
CHANDEE THORBURN: Not really. I just look around and everything that I pick up just seems to have lace. I do really like lace especially cream lace and I also like a lot of leather!

CDM: So when you choose an outfit for an outing what would be the three colours that you would choose to wear?
CHANDEE THORBURN: Probably white, black and cream. I tend to stick to shades and don't have too many colourful pieces of clothing! <laughs>

CDM: Finish these sentences.
CHANDEE THORBURN: By day time… I'm still sleeping  By night time… I get excited

CDM: What are you top favorite songs on your playlist at the moment?
CHANDEE THORBURN: 
1. 'Rock of Ages' by Death Leopard.
2. 'Girls, Girls, Girls' by Emily Crue.
3. 'Poison' by Alice Cooper.
4. 'Bed of Roses' by Bon Jovi.
5. 'Youth Gone Wild' by Skin Rowe.

CDM: What is your favourite clothing line or clothing store?
CHANDEE THORBURN: I don't have a favourite but I love Atrium on Elliot cause they're like one-off stores, so when I buy something there no-one else will have it!

CDM: What do you go for: quality, comfort or looks?
CHANDEE THORBURN: Definitely looks!
