KDTComms sat down with the gorgeous DIY Queen, fashionista and all round travel lover, Elle Franco and got down to the nitty gritty's of life.
Have a read about what this energetic ball of a person has to say......
What is the one thing you wish you could tell your 16-year-old self?
Save some of your money, a little bit of savings here and there is such a good habit to adopt.( I should say this to my adult self too! Haha!)
What is the most-read book on your book shelf?
My Moms published book she wrote about the life of Sarah Bartmann called “ Exile Child”, I have read that book many times, every time reminds me of how talented my Mom is.
How would you define your style?
I am a mix of so many different styles. I love fashion and I am always changing up my style. I can wear a chic style outfit for one look and then the next look is all “Tom Boy/ Sporty”.
Has it changed since you have been in the entertainment industry?
Nope, I have always loved to dress up and stylish. Putting outfits together and buying fashion has always been my “hobby”.
What are 2 of your favourite must-have brands?
I have loved Adidas since I was a teenager and still do. At the moment I must have “ Charles and Keith footwear.
Who is your style icon and why?
Jennifer Lopez, because she basically looks polished in everything she wears, from a classic gown, to a power suit and even rocks sweats and a hoodie!
What's your guiltiest pleasure?
A bowl of olives, I can eat way more olives than a normal person out there.
Who would play you in the film biopic of your life?
Zooey Deschanel, with the way she acts in “New girl” I think she would portray my character easily- minus the terrible outfit choices of “Jess” in that series. Haha.
What would the title of your autobiography be and why?
“ Wing it” because in my life I have often never had a clear cut answers or completely know an outcome of certain choices, I have always just said yes and then try figure it out later, “winging it as I go” and it works out most the time.
If you could raid anyone’s wardrobe, whose would it be?
Jlo

What do you love most about JHB?
I love that it is so busy, the hustle and bustle of Joburg is great.
Which artists/actors/personalities have influenced you the most?
Jim Carrey, Jeannie D and Danny K.
