Hallway Fashion- Ray Albarouki

Exactly what are you wearing today, and do you know where each item is from?

My corduroy pants are from Gap, my tee is from Gap, my scarf is from H&M, and my sweater is from thrift store, and shoes are from Gaffies.

 

What are some of your favorite places to shop, or what are your favorite brands? Why?

I don’t necessarily go for name brands, I look foor look and quality. I really like Gap, it works a lot for me. I really like small boutiques like Barneys. I love Marc Jacobs it’s one of my favorite name brands.

 

What does fashion mean to you?

Fashion for me is, the portal to yourself and what I mean when I say that is i like to express who I am inside through the fabrics that I have hanging in my closet. I praise fashion, I really bow down to what it is. I think it probably is the outlet for everything I do.

 

Do you consider yourself fashionable?

Yes.

 

How long does it usually take for you to pick out the outfit that you’re going to wear for the day and what’s your thought process as you pick out these clothes?

It depends, some days I… Like i care about how I look everyday, but some days I like pick things out and other days it takes me a while. Everything has a meaning. Each outfit is usually inspired by how I feel or something that I have, like today I have these really pretty christmas ornaments with a lot of orange, green and I just put them together into an outfit.

 

Who/What do you get your fashion inspiration from?

My step mom, and Lady Gaga. Those would be my top 2.

 

If you had to wear one outfit for the rest of your life what would it be?

My cobalt blue pants, because they can be transitioned from dressy to casual and from summer to winter. A cotton v-neck sweater that I could wear in the winter or in the summer. Light colored. A cardigan probably because I could take that off if I want. And some oxfords.

 

What’s your 1 dream outfit?

I don’t know if I have a dream outfit, but I do know that …… I don’t know…. I have no idea… it would probably be… Yeah I don’t have a dream outfit.
