How old were you when you started to love fashion?
I have always loved fashion – as a kid I was always doodling dress designs in my notebooks and playing dress-up. But I didn’t really know so much about designers or the fashion industry until my senior year of high school when I lived with my dad and my stepmom – she worked at a boutique and was always bringing home designer stuff, showing me finds she scored on eBay, etc. It didn’t take long until I was obsessed, too.
Who are your vintage style icons?
Too many to count, but my top 3 would probably be Debbie Harry, Edie Sedgwick, and Brigitte Bardot. It’s all about the blondes!
What era in particular is your favourite and why?
It’s too hard to choose! I guess if I had to pick, I’d choose the 60s because there was so much going on in fashion – from the mod movement to bohemian style; there were so many iconic looks being created back then. But I love the 80s as well because I’m a fan of excess and anything over-the-top.
Why did you decide to write/blog about fashion?
I decided to start writing College Fashion during my sophomore year of college. I was always reading fashion blogs but noticed there weren’t any that catered to MY demographic – college students! For some reason, no one was writing fashion content for college girls. So I decided to change that and started the site.
What do you think this summers big fashion looks will be?
I’m betting on wedges (the higher, the better), crop tops, mixed prints (floral will be huge for summer, as always), side braids, bandage skirts, and plenty of pastel and nude hues everywhere!
