My style inspirations include Audrey Hepburn, Isabel Preysler, and Queen Rania of Jordan. Beyond these names, what always draws me first is not the clothing itself, but the woman wearing it: the way she moves, how she expresses herself, the quiet confidence she exudes. That, for me, is the essence of elegance…”

Alicia Teira Sampedro was born on the coast of A Coruña and arrived in Barcelona in the 1990s, drawn by aviation and a lifelong passion for fashion. Today, she is the founder of Alice Fine Style (Ali’s Style), a brand of accessories and lifestyle products for discerning, conscious women, where each piece, crafted in Spain, celebrates craftsmanship, exclusivity, and refined elegance…
C&B: “Alicia, why is presenting yourself elegantly important to you?”
ATS: “A sense of polish and harmony is part of my essence and of the way I live my lifestyle: a quiet expression of confidence, good taste and elegance, without the need to utter a single word. A way of defining myself, in silence. I have always felt a deep admiration for the great fashion houses that have shaped elegance as a true language. Chanel represents freedom and effortless sophistication, while Dior embodies structured femininity, devotion to detail and timeless savoir-faire…”
Recently, I’ve been fortunate to attend particularly significant occasions, including the Mobility Congress of the Women Supercars Club at the Círculo del Liceo in Barcelona, several private celebrations and high-profile presentations at the Grand Hyatt Barcelona…”

C&B: “Which fashion designers have most influenced your look?”
ATS: “I admire pioneers of Spanish couture—Pertegaz, Asunción Bastida, Balenciaga and Pedro Rodríguez—and for contemporary designers such as Hannibal Laguna, Totón Comella, Isabel Sanchís, Teresa Helbig and Joaquín Verdú. I also value brands like Marciano and Elisabetta Franchi for their strong yet feminine aesthetic. While I’m very proud of Spanish fashion, I maintain a special connection with Italian fashion for its unique ability to unite sensuality, craftsmanship and authentic, effortless elegance. ..”
C&B: “How does travel influence your personal presentation and you share any tips for maintaining a stylish yet comfortable looks while on the go?
ATS: “I’ve learned that perfection doesn’t depend on an extra accessory, the height of a heel, or choosing the right lipstick for a trip. It’s about understanding what you’ve chosen and trusting that every piece you packed was already right when you selected it. They all belong to the same taste and the same style — you simply have to bring them together under one coherent vision. In my opinion travelling with style is a form of self-awareness. True elegance in transit is never about excess but about intention: understanding the journey, anticipating its demands, and choosing comfort without compromising refinement…”
Among my favourite daytime fragrances are M. Micallef, Etro and Louis Vuitton, while for the evening I am drawn to Floraïku, Amouage and Christian Louboutin…”

C&B: “What is your favourite accessory, and why?”
ATS: “If I had to choose just one, it would be a Chopard Happy Hearts watch. It symbolises twenty-five years of a happy marriage, the idea of union and coexistence. Quite naturally, the heart motif also resonates with my brand identity, as it is part of my logo. It feels personal, meaningful, and deeply connected to who I am.”
My favourite flowers are peonies, lilies, roses, hydrangeas, and exotic blooms…”

C&B: “When you think back over the years, which outfit has been your favourite?”
ATS: “I look back with fondness at an outfit I adored in my youth: a black wool balloon miniskirt with a wide high waist, a white tuxedo-style shirt with a daring black bow tie, and a wide corset-style belt…”
C&B: “And what would you say that you never leave home without?”
ATS: “I never leave the house without the right watch, a pair of designer sunglasses to match, and a carefully chosen handbag. Earrings and rings are also essential for me, and, of course, a necklace and bracelet, always coordinating each piece with the outfit of the moment. Depending on the occasion and the weather, I like to add a hat or, if the outfit calls for it, a silk scarf—small details that can completely transform a look and add personality…”
In my handbag, I carry a lipstick, a gloss, a small blush with brush, an eye pencil, a travel-sized perfume, a comb, a hair accessory, and sunglasses. When space allows, I add an eyeshadow in a small pouch. If the bag is too small, I carry only the one indispensable item — my gloss!”

C&B: “Which are your favourite places to visit at home or around the world?
ATS: “The WomenSupercars Club, Spain’s first officially established non-profit association uniting women passionate about cars, has been especially meaningful to me. In Barcelona, the Círculo del Liceo and Círculo Ecuestre epitomise discreet elegance, while the Real Club de Tenis and Real Club de Polo blend sport and social life effortlessly. Abroad, the Automobile Club de France in Paris and Madrid’s Club Metrópolis remain emblematic spaces where tradition and contemporary life coexist…”
