Q&A with Becky Patsianas aka @stylingbybec.
Mar 14, 2025
Brought together by Instagram and a shared love of dressing up, Becky and Ally wanted to do something together that celebrated common values - sustainability, design and practical comfort. Becky’s enduring love for the Adam cross body bag in waxed cotton has inspired the new, personal new colour palette crafted from dead stock fabrics.
Who are your 3 favourite style icons?
Vivienne Westwood, Tilda Swinton, Lisa Bonet, oh but I also loved SJP.
What do you get back out of being an Insta queen?
Ha ha, I wouldn’t call myself an insta queen but what I really like is that I get a sense of great satisfaction at being able to bring amazing independent brands to so many people’s attention. Insta also encourages me to get creative with my own wardrobe, always trying to put together different outfit combinations to share on my grid, keeping my feed fresh, engaging and hopefully giving inspiration to some of my followers.
What would you do in another life?
I would absolutely be a professional dancer (obvs I’m a Strictly fan) I actually have a glitter ball in my kitchen, my husband put up for my 50th birthday party 6 years ago it’s still spins and I love a kitchen disco🪩. Sadly I am totally uncoordinated, but hey I have fun!!
How many times do you get changed in a day?
Hmmm, embarrassed to admit but… possibly 3 times a day!! First thing gym/run gear, then my OOTD*, then end of day straight into my joggers and tee to slob out in… might be a 4th in there shhh.
* Outfit of the day
What is your most popular post?
I have actually had a couple of posts that have gone viral 1-2 million plus, both of me styling a pair of barrel leg micro check trousers have no clue why. But I have to say I have had a great response to some recent posts of me wearing our collaboration Adam bag 😉 1/4 million views!
When and how did you realise that your posting was turning into a thing?
I joined instagram during the first lockdown, but it started to become a thing about 15 months ago when I hit 10K followers and from there it grew quickly. It’s weird as I have had random people rush up to me and tell me that they follow me on Instagram which is lovely but feels odd at the same time! I now get a lot of brands wanting to send me free stuff or work with me but without sounding too up myself I am very particular about who I will collaborate with. I only want to work with brands that I love and that align with my ethos and style.
