La Societe de Mode INTERVIEW - Part One

INTERVIEW

 With REBECCA AND MADDY of LA SOCIETE DE MODE

PART ONE

- The last interviewee Lauren wants to know: If you could chose an item from your wardrobe that most defines you, what would it be?
Rebecca: Probably my oxford flats. They are very 'school-girl'-y, which I am (still a senior in high school!)
Maddy: A White eyelet vintage summer dress I just purchased in New York. My current obsession is "the dress", but my style changes from month to month.

- How would you describe your style in three words?
R: Preppy with vintage
M: Girly, retro and colorful.

- Who are your biggest inspirations?
R: I really look at other bloggers for my fashion inspiration. I love The Stylish Wanderer and looking through blogs such as Garance Dore or Facehunter for their street style. Models off duty is also great for fashion inspiration.

- What are your first "fashion" memories?
R: I remember the night before the first day of middle school so clearly. My sister said it was important to make a good first impression so she picked out this adorable school-girl outfit comprised of a plaid skirt, stockings, platform shoes, a three-quarter sleeve button-down, and my hair was in pigtails. It was the first time I'd really paid attention to what I was wearing. I just felt so cool.
M: I'm not sure if this counts but when I was 5, I refused to wear sweatpants, or actually any pants at all because I thought they were tacky. I can't believe my mom allowed me to behave like such a little fashionista.


- Do you think street style and bloggers could ever take over from magazines?
R: It's the natural progression. I like the personality that personal bloggers add and the fact that they're updated constnatly.  With magazines, the content is always outdated.
M:  It's completely true that they're always outdated.Plus, magazines used to have the leg up with their portability but with net books and Wi-fi all over the place what do we need a magazine for? I think eventually they're going to become impractical...still, there's nothing like holding a glossy new publication in your hands.
 
- And what question would you like the next interviewee to be asked?
R: Favorite city for street style?
M: How do you get inspired?
