This multi-talented lady has achieved a lot at 22 years of age. The Belgian model/actress/author/artist, Lize Feryn, is naturally electrifying. When we asked her to design a print as part of a sweater
collaboration, she seized the opportunity with both hands. Here’s someone you won’t easily forget, a Q&A with Lize Feryn.
