Advisor.: “How would you describe your personal style in three words?”
Antoinette: “Trendy, bold, and colorful.”
Advisor.: “What are your go-to fashion pieces you can’t live without?”
Antoinette: “Without a cute pair of sunglasses, I feel like those make such a statement with your outfits.”
Advisor.: “What current fashion trends you are loving, and how do you incorporate them into your everyday style?”
Antoinette: “I love that Preppy is making a comeback, especially since fall is around the corner. I would pair a pleated skirt with an edgy graphic tee and put on a lot of accessoires (for example layer necklace look) To give the classy piece a completely different vibe.”
Advisor.: “What role do you think fashion plays in shaping cultural identity and self-expression?”
Antoinette: “Fashion is a gateway to see how people view themselves and others around them. Each clothing piece has a cultural and personal significance in someone’s life. Each culture has pieces that tell the story of its history and can evolve with future generations. When you look good, you feel good, and fashion is another way to express who you are without having to tell anyone how you feel and build your confidence as you wear the pieces you love with pride.”
Advisor.: “One fashion item you’d never wear?”
Antoinette: “A no for me would be floral I don’t care what time of the year it is I just don’t think floral that flattering of a pattern.”
