Sylvie Meis is known for her feminine style. The Joy editor Christina Wüseke met the beautiful Dutch girl in Amsterdam for a chat and talked to her about her Christmas collection for Hunkemöller, suspenders and her beauty secrets.

Playful: Here's the lingerie trends from this year!

JOY: Sylvie, your collection is inspired by the fashion capital of London. Why London?

After my last Christmas collection was thematically inspired by Paris, it was only a logical step to pick a metropolis again this time. London has - just like Paris - that certain something, is charismatic, sexy, exciting, offers both culture and nightlife.

Have you ever lived in London?

Yes, exactly, during my marriage to Raphael, I lived there for two years. A great time. It makes a difference if you really live in a city or explore it as a tourist. London is chic, but not perfect - this is also reflected in the campaign images. For example, we have deliberately avoided perfectly styled hair and prefer the Kate Moss style.

Sounds like you're involved in production from start to finish. Actually, you are not only a designer but also a model - what do you prefer?

I think the combination is great. I'm not just a designer and not just a model. I want to bring in my personality and I can only do that if I accompany the process from start to finish. The more grateful I am that I got this chance.

The end result can really be proud of. You look great in your lingerie. Tell us your beauty secret?

Beauty comes from within. Who is happy, radiates that too. Otherwise, my tip is to do sports, stay consistent. So do not just do sports for three days and then do nothing for three weeks. That's boring, but true.

Phew, that sounds hard. How do you stay fit?

Run with a combination of cardio and 20 to 30 minutes. I do that every day. Now and then there are Pilates, electric impulse training or boxing. Variety is the be-all and end-all, because the body gets used to training so quickly and then you have no more success.

Delicate pinks and powders, as well as bordeaux and black, set the tone in The Sylvie Collection. Which is your favorite piece?

I have two. Once the pastel pink black set with matching kimono and the powder-colored body. He is really sexy. It was important to me to design a modern Christmas collection. That's why I decided against this classic red-black story.

.... but there are suspenders here.

Yes! I've always been a fan of suspenders. You dress women, look good - even if you are not 1.80 meters tall.

At 1.58 meters you are the best proof. Are lingerie more than underwear for you?

Absolutely. Lingerie gives femininity and self-confidence. Women should often slip into great lingerie for themselves - and not only when a date is due or you want to make yourself pretty for the partner.

Among German Christmas trees, this year certainly includes many pieces from your collection. What do you want under the tree?

Unlike in the past, gifts are no longer so important to me today. I am happy to be healthy, to have a child and to be with my family. This is the perfect Christmas for me.
