@nnadibynature

Vintage Versus skirt and Carlos Nazario for Buttero boots.

“I went to Miami earlier this year and I feel like it shook up my style ever so slightly. This look is very much in that mood, especially the skirt, I love the Matisse-style squiggles. My friend Carlos Nazario designed these boots for Buttero and they’re my new favorite thing. So comfy and just ready for anything.”

Mecca Mozelle, model and creative

@meccamozelle

Thrifted mesh top with suede black pants.

“what inspires my style right now is taking ownership in my essence, whether it’s being “risky” and revealing, fluid but sexy, and just where the world is today I want to walk every day as my highest self. Whatever makes me feel good.”

​​Taylor Hawkins, fashion model

“I’m most inspired by upcycling fashion at the moment. I love thrifting, and repurposing pieces. Fast fashion has become very popular in recent years, but the effect it has on our planet is horrible. So when I can take someone else’s ‘trash’ and turn it into my own treasure, I find that really inspiring.”

When it comes to the color combo, purple and orange is the color of one of my most special Bharata Natyam costumes. Also though, I’d definitely say the fact that we’re nearing Halloween helped!”
