Name: Azucena RobledoMajor: Traditional Illustration
Work & Where ?: No lol not currently. However I did work at my uncle's winery Robledo Family Winery and at Gloria Ferrer. Had to quit because of school. It was fun. I saw lots of fashion don'ts lol.
What do you like about fashion ?: It's always evolving and I love that. I like looking at what's in, mixing it with what I already have and making it my own. I am in love with vintage designer pieces paired with current ones. A quote about fashion that inspires me : "Fashion is made to become unfashionable" -Coco Chanel. SO TRUE!
Where do you shop ?: Where DON'T I shop? lol just kidding. I am actually very picky. Right now I am obsessed with Bebe. But I have been a long time shopper at BCBG, Nordstrom, Bloomingdales, Guess, Free People, and my mom's closet ;) I am very committed to all of these places. I used to like Macy's but they have stopped carrying certain brands....and have gone downhill a little.
How would describe your style ?: My style is a reflection of my personality. I would describe it as romantic, classic, sophisticated and a touch of trendy. Sometimes I can be edgy (I love leather and punk inspired things). I don't like being too trendy. I've always been a trendsetter. And no, I'm not bragging. People just like the way I put things together. It's the artist inside of me that lets me see fashion in a unique way.
So overall, I don't like to stick to one particular style. I mix and match accordingly. Mixing textures is great (leather, lace, silk, etc). I hope that answers your question.

Name: Rodney Ruppert, IIMajor: Fashion Design, but I still do fine art on the side.
Work or where ?: I don't work which sucks.
What do I like about fashion ?: I love fashion because it is always a way to express yourself all the time, I like showing what I have when wearing the clothing, but I don't show everyone what I do have. Fashion is something that hasn't ever interested me until like 4 or 5 years ago lol.
Where do I shop ?: Omfg where to start ? Well I shop at Macy's Men's Store and H&M sometimes, thrift stores for sure because of all the vintage stuff, Diesel, Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Ave Men's Store, Saks Outlet, Cole Haan, Burberry, Marshall's, TJMaxx & wherever else really.
How would you describe my style ?: My style used to be more gothy and punk at one point, then when I started getting to fashion I started buying more prep brand's like Abercrombie which was just a phase. My style has evolved to more an Italian style & clean cut now, the style is kinda Hugo Boss like sometimes, but more European in general. I still wear my regular everyday clothing for sure that's urban like.
Anyone who is in involved in fashion seems to have a favorite model. Knowing that you have that favorite model inspires you in so many ways that may have not even imagined. The one who inspires me is Freja Beha Erichsen, she is a beautiful Danish model that always appears in every magazine that I have seen and I love that about her. I prefer models that aren't overly used like some of them in Vogue which annoys the hell out of me.
One of the things that I love about Freja is the fact that she has the perfect androgynous look. Freja's appearance can look masculine and feminine which something I look for, another fact that I love about her is that she is a lesbian. Yay for gays ! If you want to see more Freja visit the official Freja Beha site. http://www.frejabeha.com/
Who are your favorite models fellow readers ?

I want to share the fantastic show from Diesel's Black Gold label, I love their high quality denim and I think everyone else should give their clothing a try. My favorite model of all time is of course is the first model to walk the runway. Freja Beha is in almost every high-fashion magazine & runway show. She is the best model ever in my opinion.
Diesel has been a brand of choice for me for the past 5 years, I always say you can never go wrong with them. The thing about the brand is that they a bridge line that also goes into the designer line, they are affordable and not affordable at the same time. I mainly started buying men's & women's bags along with men's shoes of course, now I am starting to buy their vests, t-shirts, jackets, sweaters and now jeans.
What I am very stoked about is their new label which has been a around for a few years now is their Diesel Black Gold label. This new collection is their high-end line of clothing which I absolutely love because the styles are just wonderfully crafted and most of their clothing is more stylized for any type of events.
The brand's clothing I have noticed is very well liked among indie, urban, indie-urban stylish people because the style of clothing Diesel comes out with suits the consumers with their looks.

This blog is actually for a final that I am doing for a class, I currently attend The Art Institute of California - San Francisco. I have always wanted to create a blog, or website for whatever I feel like talking about, posting whatever that comes to my mind. The blog is going to consist mainly about fashion. I will be posting things such as fashion trends for men and women, who are my favorites designers and why I like them and many more subjects.
