How would you define your personal style?
“I like to feel good in the clothes that I’m wearing, so I’d say anything that suits my mood at the moment and looks good. I definitely love shapes and fabrics, and how they can combine with each other in an unexpected way.”
Favorite designers?
“Acne is my all-time obsession, J.W.Anderson, The Row, Dries Van Noten, the list can go on . . . but I can easily wear something from Zara at the same time, it’s not all about the labels.”
Where do you shop?
“I like Opening Ceremony on Howard Street in New York City. They have a great selection of cool brands and also promote some younger designers that you might have never heard of.”
What do you want from the runway this season?

How would you define your personal style?
“Lately my style is quite ‘schoolgirl,’ or whatever they call it. I wear a lot of button-ups, shirtdresses, skirts (but not too short), preferably with a great blazer or coat. I’m a big fan of classic shapes, cuts, and colors.”
Favorite designers?
“Dries Van Noten, always. I’m also usually smitten with what Rag & Bone, 3.1 Phillip Lim, Alexander Wang, and Céline create. For ‘high street’ things I’m a big fan of Madewell and Uniqlo.”
Where do you shop?
“I’m not a huge fan of clothing stores, but I’ve become a bit obsessed with Cos lately. I went to a three-story one in Florence this summer and spent at least two hours. It’s great to see a company making beautiful, good quality, minimalist, (semi) affordable clothes.”
What do you want from the runway?
“I’m a bit late to the party but I am definitely swooning over those high Alexander Wang creeper boots from last season. They’re surprisingly comfortable!

How would you define your personal style?
“My personal style is boyish, rocker. I like to be comfy, edgy, and sexy! I absolutely cannot live without my leather jacket. Whether it’s summer and the AC is blasting indoors, or it’s fall and it keeps me warm while I’m running around to castings! Plus it makes me feel cool and edgy year-round.”
Favorite designers? Alexander Wang, Helmut Lang, Saint Laurent, and Rag & Bone.
Where do you shop?
“My favorites are sample sales! I love the hustle and bustle, and the bargains you find. Plus there are some really amazing pieces you can find!”
What trends do you like from the Spring runways?
“I am absolutely obsessed with the plum color that is everywhere. And fringe—just amazing.”

How would you define your personal style?
“I would describe my style as smart casual, and you can usually find me in a pair of high heels. I have a vintage Chanel knapsack I can’t live without—it’s a godsend because I can bring it to castings, the gym, sometimes to dinner. It works for everything.”
Favorite designers? Isabel Marant, Reformation, Opening Ceremony, and Ralph Lauren.
What do you want from the runway?
“The look I had at Ralph Lauren with the red and blue stripes—I’ve preordered it already.”

How would you define your personal style?
“Casual, but with a few vintage pieces to complete the look. Currently I’m in love with my new booties from Matisse, as they are perfect for a finishing touch to my fall outfits.”
Where do you shop?
“Amarcord Vintage, on Lafayette Street. Every time I go in I can find a one-of-a-kind piece that I know no one else will have.”

How would you define your personal style?
“Minimal. It is hard to say only one thing [that defines my style], I love bags, shoes, and sunglasses—honestly, I just love fashion!”
Favorite Designers?
“Prada, Hermès, Céline, Acne Studios, Paul Smith . . . I’m crazy about the Opening Ceremony store, their designs and selection of products are amazing. I like their selection from Kenzo and Alexander Wang especially.”
Where do you shop?
“Besides Opening Ceremony, I love Aritzia, they have a lot of cool and alternative brands that fit my style and are really good clothes to invest on without spending much as buying something from a designer. Is more like good taste without label. I don’t think fashion is about labels anyways.”

What defines your personal style?
“I would say [my style] is about being simply fresh and cool.”
Where do you shop?
“I don’t have a preference about stores. When I like something, I buy it. It doesn’t matter which store or brand or how much it costs. That said, I really love vintage stores or going to pop-ups.”
What do you want from the runway this season?
I can’t choose just one thing!
