JULIA KHAN ANSELMO IN AMSTERDAM

Three years ago, stylist, event producer and entrepreneur Julia Khan Anselmo made Amsterdam home. Raised in Alberta followed by a move to Canada’s West Coast, crossing the continent—and the Atlantic—to Amsterdam was a fitting move for the budding entrepreneur and world traveler. Julia is the founder of Feisty Feast, a global dinner series that showcases and celebrates women (a concept born out of her Vancouver apartment in 2013) and later founded LAASSO, creating clothing and accessories for a slower pace of life including beautiful made-to-measure garments that take you from day to night and everywhere in between. Julia’s wanderlusting, entrepreneurial spirit and mindful approach to business could not resonate more with The Drift and we are so excited to share our interview with her. Read on for the inside scoop on exploring Amsterdam like a local, how living in Europe has inspired her creatively, her everyday rituals and more.
