Where are you from?

I’m from Philadelphia, PA.

How do you define your personal style? What or who are your some of your style inspirations?

I define my personal style as comfortable, relaxed, rich, and organic.

The person that inspires me the most is my grandmother. She was a fashion designer, and we have a similar tastes in style. She’s really big on wearing baggy and comfortable clothing. She’s really about that life, and I’ve kind of gotten it from her. You will most likely catch me in streetwear or something baggy for sure.

What are the essential pieces you must have in your closet?

I love hoodies, workout clothes, and camo!

Where do you shop?

I shop at Depop, a secondhand store that’s online. You can get a lot of Yeezys and Essentials on there. I also thrift a lot!

Describe your personal style in three words?

Fun, creative and comfy!

Any fashion related tips?

Just be you! Don’t worry about matching or anything else. Just be comfortable, and be yourself!

Where are you from?

I’m from Lancaster, PA and just moved to Philadelphia two years ago.

How do you define your personal style? What or who are your some of your style inspirations?

My personal style is very retro inspired. I love vintage styles! Also, I like to dress bubbly and bright.

My inspirations are bright colors, and the old Hollywood glamour type of woman (Any hyper feminine woman I’m in love with)!

What are the essential pieces you must have in your closet?

The first thing that comes to mind is red lipstick. In addition, I love anything that’s flowy. It looks good on every person, gender, or body, especially when you’re wearing a dress, skirt, or pants (Anything loose).

Where do you shop?

I shop at thrift stores or anything that looks cool on the outside. I can shop anywhere!

Describe your personal style in three words?

Saucy, bubbly, and retro!

Any fashion related tips?

Always wear what you want to wear, and wear what you feel comfortable in. Just dress how you want to, and go with the flow. If it’s really funky, comfortable, and mix matching, then wear it. If its really mute and neutral, wear it too! Do what you want, and just wear what you want. It always looks the best, and you’ll always feel the best when you’re doing exactly what you want to do.
