Self-Edge

                  Many people wonder about fashion; What’s in trend?  What brands people wear, etc?  Some may follow the fashion trends, but some may not because we all have our different taste and styles.  And because we do, I will be interviewing a few people I know and/or random people that I see who have a unique style of dress.  For the upcoming blogs I will be posting the interview conversations I have with these people.  I will be asking them the same questions that way we acquire their perspective on fashion and hope to inspire us with their interest.

The first person I interviewed is my 21 year old cousin Ria.

Me: Hi Ria! How are you today?

Ria: I’m doing fine.  Thank you.

Me: So just to let you know, I will be asking you a few questions about your taste in fashion and questions related to that.  As I told you before, our conversation will be posted on my fashion blog.  The first question is to describe fashion in your own words.

Ria: I feel like fashion is a unique way of how a person conveys themselves not only through their choices of clothing but how they carry themselves and their views on the world. It is a reflection of their personality and how they are as a person.

Me: How would you describe your style of dress from head to toe?

Ria: I would say my style is a bit plain, I like buying clothing where I'm able to switch it up with other pieces of clothing. However, I'm very particular about the fitting of clothes.

Me: What are the most comfortable/stylish shoes you like to wear with your outfit of the day?

Ria: The most comfortable and stylish shoes I own are my black oxfords or my tan huarache sandals.

Me: As for an everyday outfit, what accessories or type of clothing do you like to wear or is your ultimate “must have on” before you leave your house?

Ria: I like wearing this self-edge feather ring that I received from a good friend, I guess you can say because it has some sentimental value and I just love how the feather wraps around your finger.

Me: If you were to change up your style, how would you go about doing so?  Would you wear something that’s out of your element of dress? What would it be and why?

Ria: If I wore to change up my style it would definitely be more of a grown-up look, sleek and clean.

Me: Is there anyone, as far as friends, celebrities, or designers, etc., that inspire you to dress the way you do?  If so, who is it and why?

Ria: My sister is a big inspiration to how I dress because we share a lot of our clothes and she's more into fashion than I am.

Me: How do people react to fashion and how do you react to it?

Ria: People like to follow trends, as for me I in a sense like to wear what's in as well and add in my twist.

Me: Why do costumers go for a particular brand?

Ria: I think costumers go for a particular brand because it follows their everyday lifestyle or is advertised well.

Me: Why do people hate when they see someone wearing what they’re wearing?

Ria: People try to express their individuality through fashion and seeing another person in the same outfit doesn't make them feel any different.  Everyone strives to be different in some way.

Me:  And lastly, what do you think about fashion trends?  Do you follow them because others wear what’s “in” or is it at your own interest?

Ria: I feel like I do both because it's what's in and also at my own interest because I try to make the outfit me as far as the saying goes, wear the outfit don't let the outfit wear you.

Me: I agree with your last saying.  Well thank you so much for sharing.  Your answers were interesting.

Ria: No.  Thank you.  I’m glad you asked me to be part of your blog and I hope it helps.
