Insider’s EditThe look and sound of Paris in autumn

Singer Gabriela Richardson talks notes on style – and how music and fashion harmonise.

Gold knit top with a high neckline, layered under a light beige fuzzy cardigan. A textured pink background adds contrast.

For singer Gabriela Richardson, fashion is a form of storytelling. “Fashion to me means different personalities,” she says. “How I express mine depends on what I’m wearing. If my outfit could whisper something, it would say, ‘Go outside in a nice coat.’” This season, Gabriela takes us to Paris, where she's mixing her next album and producing new beats. Just like her music, her style shifts with her mood – blending timeless silhouettes with unexpected details. Autumn becomes a muse: cooler air, golden light, and a wardrobe that reflects her many layers – on and off stage.

Beige coat, brown top, black asymmetrical skirt, brown patterned tights with crescents, and maroon ankle boots with square heels.

How do you style
your favourite shoes this Autumn?

“I love this bag, you can fit a lot of things in it – my lipstick, my keys, and it’s very stylish. I love wearing these lunar tights and this trenchcoat because it's very elegant. Autumn is the last time you can wear a dress and boots at the same time. It's a really carefree outfit.”“I love this bag, you can fit a lot of things in it – my lipstick, my keys, and it’s very stylish.

“My morning routine starts with my dog because he sleeps in the bed with me. I brush my teeth and go for a walk around our neighbourhood. I sleep in my underwear. A fabric that feels like home is a silky scarf from my grandmother.”

for your morning routine?

“Pain au chocolat, coffee with milk. A sandwich with scrambled eggs and tomatoes inside, like a French tortilla. Served on a wooden table that my boyfriend and I made ourselves. I like to surround myself with a mix of vintage and new furniture. I love to accessorise with bracelets, I enjoy the sound they make.”“Pain au chocolat, coffee with milk.
