Tell us a bit about yourself.
I'm
most importantly a poet and a hopeless romantic. From this, the rest of my
being blossoms. I graduated college with a Bachelors in Art this past year and
now have no idea what to do with it. I'm currently living in Nashville and
trying to figure out where and what I'm supposed to be doing. Other
than that, I'm slightly reserved due to the mass amount of things constantly
processing through my head. Also I'm a big dreamer to the point at times it's
almost paralyzing.
Define
your personal style.
My
personal style is definitely an eclectic mix of things. I'm inspired by prints
and color and playing with slightly off-kilter mixes of the two. I adore
playing with layers and using sheer fabrics to create illusion and romanticism
in my looks. I'm definitely a jewelry collector and have jewelry I've acquired
from India, China and Afghanistan. I'm into jewelry that are statement pieces
and conversation starters. No outfit is complete without the proper accessories.
And hats! More people should wear them. It's hard to truly describe my style
for each day I'm trying something new and mixing it up.
What
inspires you to dress the way you do?
I'm
an artist and I see it as another form of art and self-expression. Fashion
gives you the ability to speak several different things to people simply by
them looking at you. You can get a small understanding of a person by their
clothes before they even open their mouths.
Who is your all-time favorite designer and why?
A
hard one. I'd probably have to say Lanvin. His aesthetic reminds me of a dark
romantic spirit with an eye for expensive vintage pieces and exquisite jewelry.
I think that sums me up.
How
do you "recycle" clothes in your wardrobe to create new ensembles?
Layers!
Instead of simply wearing a blouse over a pair of pants, put it under a dress
for a completely different spin, wear a short dress over a longer one peeking
out from the bottom, etc.
What's
your five-year plan, career-wise?
I
barely know my plan for this week so thinking of 5 years in advance is hard for
me. I want to model but what fashion enthusiast doesn't? I want to publish a
book of poems, but what aspiring writer doesn't? I'm not extremely career-minded
as much as I am one to just stumble into things and see what happens. That
might be a problem in the future. I'd love for my end game to take me to be
some sort of Creative Director or Stylist someday.
