Would you consider yourself fashionable, to stand out fashion-wise amongst the students at SLA?

I believe I am.

Do you know which each item is from? If so name the places you got it from.

Well, I brought that shirt from Forever 21. I think it was 17 or 18 dollars. The leggings were H&M, and the shoes were Forever 21.

That cuff is really interesting. Where did you get it from? Why did you choose to pair it with your outfit?

I think forever 21. My mom bought it for me, so I’m unsure. I wore it with that particluar outfit because for one, all my other my jewelry was gold, and to match the shirt. Second, since the shirt had an interesting pattern, and the bracelet does too, I choose to wear it. Last, it’s one of the only gold bracelets I have.

Who is your fashion icon that you get inspiration from?

Wow, that’s a hard one. I like a lot of different people’s style. Lady Gaga’s is nice, because it’s different, although I wouldn’t wear any of the crazy stuff she does. Kim Kardashian style is nice too. Audrey Hepburn’s style really was interesting, she wore stuff that complemented her slim build. Basically, I just look at fashion magazines or stores ads and see how they wear it, and see how I can pull it off, or modify it myself.

Where do you find inspiration?

I find inspiration mostly in colors, the way things fit, and if things look cheap or not. I love shopping for super inexpensive clothes, but if it looks cheap, I won’t buy it. Also, color schemes matter. To many colors looks a mess, and to little looks boring. I like to match certain colors with others that complement it. Also if I find a good shirt in a store, I’ll think, “What can I wear with this?” If I don’t have anything, I won’t buy it.

Where do you usually shop?

Mostly H&M and Forever 21; they’re cheap, but have nice clothes.

Would you consider yourself fashionable, to stand out fashion-wise amongst the students at SLA?

I don’t know about fashionable, maybe just different. I think the only reason people think I stand out is because I’m not afraid to wear certain types of clothing.

Do you know which each item is from? If so, name the places you got it from.

My dress was from a little boutique in Allentown, my tights and socks were from Target, my sweater was from Marshals, and my shoes were from Steve Madden.

Your considered one of the most unique dressers in this school. Do you believe that you are?

I did not know that. I do have some people tell me that I have an “interesting” sense of style. I think that’s because I tend to mix textures and patterns. I also don’t dress for anyone, I dress for myself. I dress how I feel that day. If I’m really tired I’ll just wear jeans and a t-shirt, but if I’m in an extra good mood then I’ll combine more and more colors. The reason I dress the way that I do, is because it makes me more confident. When I dress in “interesting” or “unique” clothing, I gain a lot of confidence. I’ve gotten used to the way people look at how I dress, and I make the style my own.

Who is your fashion icon that you get inspiration from?

My Mom and Tavi Gevinson.

Where do you find inspiration?

My Mom, Nylon, and the 50’s/60’s/80’s.

Where do you usually shop?

Boutiques in Old City, thrift stores, Target, and other random stores.

Would you consider yourself fashionable, to stand out fashion wise amongst the students at SLA?

Some days, yes. I mix in the old with the new and the trashy with the classic. I would call my style/myself either trash glamour or sophisticated hipter. But then again, I do dress sort of like a college student from a British University, Jack Wills would be the perfect example for that.

Do you know which each item is from? If so name the places you got it from.

Levi jeans from Macy’s,

Forever 21 button down

Beanie Forever 21

Shoes from Urban Outfitters.

Who is your fashion icon that you get inspiration from?

Lady Gaga is probably my biggest fashion icon. The fact that he is fearless with not only with her fashion, but also her art and personality too. She has pushed the boundaries of fashion and music into a new generation and continues to go nowhere but up in the world.

Where do you find inspiration?

Tumblr, Lookbook.nu, Vogue, Jack Wills, Urban Outfitters, Harpers Bazzar, GQ, Barney’s, Neiman Marcus, random people on the street, my friends, the world, my feelings/thoughts, events such as equality rallys, fashion shows and launch parties.

Where do you usually shop?

Urban Outfitters, American Apparel, Lucky Brand, Jack Wills, Gap, Macys. Usually anywhere that sells what I like.

Congrats on being one of the people in SLA with the best hallway fashion. Are you surprised?

Yes, I was surprised because I don’t get dressed up for school since I work also. I thought that my outfit for the day wasn’t really special. I want something comfortable and simple.

What makes your style different from the other people?

My style is different from others because I don’t really buy from specific brands. I usually just buy items that I like and put them together depending on how I am feel in the morning.

Does being a model make you know how to dress yourself and the clothes portray the way you want it to be?

Yes, Being a model helps me to know how to make certain features of my body standout using clothing. Modeling shows me that its not about what you wear its about the confidence you have in the outfit.
