Be fashion forward with the Jimmy Choo Sheldon Napa leather boots. Multi-talented Victoria Song Qian is the epitome of the modern-day woman. The actress, dancer and singer first emerged on the scene as part of Korean girl group F(X). Nine years later, the star has launched her first solo album VICTORIA; is a leading actress in an upcoming TV show; and is praised for her dancing on reality show Hot Blood Dance Crew. In addition to her successful career, Song Qian has carved her way as a style icon recognized for her impactful fashion sense. Song shares her thoughts on the Jimmy Choo pre-fall 2018 collection.

What are your favorite Jimmy Choo pieces from the shoot and why?

I liked every piece from the shoot. They’re all so comfortable and versatile. However, what I love the most is the several made-to-order heels with my name engraved on the sole; it always feels nice to have something exclusive for yourself.

I’m a big shoe fan and love buying high heels, although it might be very difficult wearing it all the time.

Named by Vogue as one of the world’s best dressed women, who do you look to for fashion inspiration?

I am inspired by what other people wear. Every season I attend fashion shows to see the latest trends and try the new looks myself. What I like to keep in mind is that not all trends are suitable for me, so I try my best to find a happy medium.

What influences your music? Favorite musician?

During my career in South Korea I was exposed to a lot of pop, so I’d say this has definitely influenced my music. There are quite a lot of musicians that I admire at the moment and definitely look forward to working with them.

One of the most memorable dancing moments is joining the reality TV show The Hot-Blood Dance Crew. This is where I was able to meet a lot of talented individuals — their persistence and passion for street dance really inspired me. I’ve learned so much while filming on set.

I want to enjoy nature as much as possible. If I’m in the city, I prefer going to a café, window shopping, or traveling to places which I rarely visit. Nonetheless, staying at home is a good getaway, too.

When it comes to ambitions, what are you really prioritizing for your future over the next couple of years?

Acting, singing and just seeing whatever I am capable of doing.

Go shopping, buy clothes and try new looks. It’s very fulfilling to try a nice look. In my spare time, I’d like to practice Muay Thai.

In the Philippines, Jimmy Choo is located at Shangri-La Plaza East Wing and Rustan’s Makati.
