    What’s your favorite part about your outfit?
    Probably my patterned tights. Without them I’d look like I was wearing an oversized sweater made for somebody’s grandma. But now? I sparkle in an oversized sweater probably made for somebody’s grandma with a pair of interesting tights.

    What are you most excited to wear this winter?
    I just bought the most horrifying sweatshirt with a cat head on it. So, that and leather.

    Who are your style icons?
    Alison Mosshart, Anna Karina, Patti Smith, Debbie Harry and Uschi Obermaier are total babes. Also maybe Björk, too, because she wears some of the ugliest things I have ever seen and just doesn’t give a shit.
