Model and university student Zita d’Hauteville, who’s the daughter of Belgian arts consultant Isabelle de Séjournet and Oxygen watches owner Eric d’Hauteville, opens up about her style and beach loves. #ToryTunic

My style is..
Elegant! With a crazy twist.

And my secret styling trick…
To find some allure in the clothes you wear, but stay different — not that easy!

First fashion memory…
When I opened a Kenzo Kids show at 11 years old. It was the first step in my modelling career…

Best fashion advice ever received…
When I was in New York, shooting with Pamela Hanson for Glamour UK, she told me to never change my hair color, to keep it natural; according to her, my dark blonde is unique.

My tip to styling/accessorizing a tunic…
Some long BoBo-chic necklaces, with big golden bracelets. And my orange Tory Burch sandals, of course.

My favorite beach getaway in the world…
Porto Vecchio, Corsica, France.

And my recommendations on what to do/eat/see there…
Dine on fresh fish, with your feet in the sand, at 37.2 Cala Rossa Beach.

My bohemian icon…
My mother has always inspired my style. I have been stealing her clothes for years.

The color I most love…
Orange — my father’s entire flat in Paris is covered in orange, and I found it a very motivating color.

My backstory…
I am half-French, half-Belgian and based in London. I’m studying Business and Computer Science at the University College of London and also modeling with Viva Models in Paris, London and Barcelona.
