Where are you from? Katonah New York

Major? College of Letters

What or who inspires your style? My mom really inspires me. She was really trendy in the 80’s, and that style is back now. That’s pretty pathetic. I shouldn’t have said my mom.

Describe some characteristics of your personal style: It’s crazy because I used to have this really outlandish style. I used to wear things that did not work at all, like tutus and rain boots. I had the weirdest style ever. People thought of me as this crazy little novelty. Then I went to Germany, which is the anti-France. No body gives a fuck about fashion. They wear windbreakers and jeans. Now I don’t give a fuck….though I feel like I’m starting to care again. Now that I’m back on campus I feel like I have people to impress and have an audience. It sounds really vain, but people at Wesleyan care what everyone else is wearing. Definitely not like Bavaria, where I was in Germany. I think I wore all black for seven months. It was great; it was a really fresh new start. I didn’t have anyone who knew me. I wasn’t letting my language friends or clothes define me.

What fashion icons or celebrities or people do you look to for your fashion if anyone? I really like Marlene Dietrich. I learned to love her in Germany. She was so fabulous. She had great style and was so provocative. Madonna got everything from her.

Where are your favorite places to shop? I love going to Goodwill and flea markets. It’s a great bargain. I wear a lot of things that people give me.

Who are your favorite designers? (Without hesitation) Vivienne Westwood. I love Jill Sander also. The deYoung Museum always has the best display of fashion. I think that fashion should be displayed in museums rather than in fashion shows. It’s nice to have clothes all lined up with time to admire them. Seeing Vivienne and Yves Saint Laurents’ collections was amazing.

What’s your favorite trend right now? I love how androgynous modern style is. You can just grab your boyfriend’s big shirts and boots and it would look great on you too. We’ve hit a great place in style right now. It’s okay that most stores sell the same stuff. It’s all great.

Have any fashion advice? Wear a dress. It’s really easy.

What is your dream job? I would love to work for public radio. That would be ideal.

Describe some characteristics of your personal style: Comfort. I love the fall, it’s my favorite season because you get to wear such comfy clothes. My sister told me that even in the summer I layer things. Its doesn’t make it uncomfortable, I never get too hot or anything, but I always layer things and I think that’s because of how I dress in the fall. Comfy sweaters, that type of thing.

I recently have been doing bright colors. I had this thing for the longest time (pointing to a bright red shirt she is wearing)…it’s like a pajama top, its really warm, and thin, but not too much. I like bright colors now, but earth tones have always been my thing. I love earth tones, and I really like navy and green as a color combination.

I love baggy things. I love drapery. I love things you can put over other things. Drapery as an aesthetic is beautiful.

What or who inspires your style? I don’t think I have icons, but I love noticing things about the way other dress. I guess Audrey Hepburn. Oh my gosh, if I lived in a time where I could dress like her, if I had reason too…. She wears beautiful dresses. I wish. It’s also super simple. I like the way she wears black; she does it effortlessly, while being so versatile.

Where are your favorite places to shop? For staples like tank tops and black t-shirts, I go to places like H and M, because they are cheap and easily replaceable. But I really like my mom’s clothes, and my mom wears some of my stuff some times too. She really likes all different kinds of patterns. One of my favorite dresses of hers is just satin, mid thigh length, three-fourths sleeve and super simple.

Who are your favorite designers? I really like Vivienne Westwood. Also, I’ve always respected McQueen, as some one to be like ‘oh my god yes’. When it comes to really expensive design clothing, I’ve found that going and finding things that are super similar, your having worn it makes it that much better

What’s your favorite trend right now? My first thought was, I don’t know of any. But, I like hair. I love that people are just going for it.

What do you like to see on guys? I like that its getting more refined. I love simple button ups, jeans that fit, and shoes. Not like sneakers, not even loafers, just nice shoes.

Have any fashion advice? I would say go with your gut, and yeah…go with your gut!

What is your dream job? Recently, this summer and last summer, I did two internships at art museums. And I was thinking about being an art coordinator. The social aspect of that is really fun, and seeing what people want to present, and working with them to make that happen is really cool.
