Looking back at the good old days of high school, I remember missing the style the students would dress to school. The look looked very much like he or she does not want to "grow up" but stay young forever. That style achieved that particular attitude in that the attires of the socal students had teen spirit such as the preppy, grunge, skater, punk, emo, surfer, etc. Living in New York City, I learned that I cannot grow up like everyone else here as being young is what makes me more happy. However, as I associated with the environment of New York, my cali style seemed to have disappeared (not fully) and I dressed more different though I still have that youth attitude in me.
The habitats of New York usually dressed professionally, ie. women pampered in makeup and designer high heels, rather than the laidback, ie. women without makeup and morning hair, which correct my messy hair and my trashy biker pleather with sleek black hair and more simple clean leather silhouette. To combine the two--trashy but professional and sexy--I would come up with a result in which it will suit my style, a traveler living LA and NY. However, whenever I do get the chance to visit socal, I walk and remember every moments of every footsteps leading me to become inspired from the style of the past to influence the style of the future.
Revisiting past work, I incorporated and image drawn from the very nature of LA which refers back to the psychedelic pot culture of high school.
