Fourth quarter means procrastination station, but I’ve been a procrastinator since day one. For example, I have a bunch of interviews over the year that I’ve just been holding onto. So here are those interviews! And apologies to all of the people I told would be featured, then hoarded their pictures and interviews.
Raya Quereau (‘25) – February 5th, 2025
[Q] Who or what inspires your style?
[A] TikTok and Urban Outfitters is usually where I go to get my inspiration.

[A] It’s cringe sometimes, but for prom it’s a must.
[Q] Describe your style in three words
[A] Flowy. Hippie. Clean.
[Q] What’s the best compliment you’ve ever received on an outfit?

Angie Alvaro (‘26) – February 11th, 2025
[Q] Who or what inspires your style?
[A] I wish I was joking, but probably Shaggy from Scooby Doo. Matthew Lillard got it right with the green adn brown. But part of the style is also inspired from black fashion in the 90s because they had baggy jeans.
[Q] How would you describe your style in three words?
[A] Practical. Interesting. Fun.
[Q] Do you prefer thrifting, retail stores, or online shopping and why?
[A] I prefer thrifting and retail over online shopping because I need to try on clothes to see if they fit me. I only prefer thrifting because it’s cheaper and I usually find some really good finds.
[Q] What is your favorite season for fashion and why?
[A] Fall, you can wear normal people clothes, you can layer it up, sometimes when it’s a warmer day you can wear a skirt. It’s kind of the Goldie Locks of seasons.
[Q] What is a fashion trend you wish would make a comeback?
[A] I would have to say corsets, but actual corsets, like old Victorian era clothing. I love the Pride and Prejudice style of clothing.
[Q] What advice would you give to someone developing their own style?
[A] Go on Pinterest. Watch a show, watch a movie, read a book, see and hear how the characters are being described and dress like that.
Adriana Cammisa (‘25) – January 30th, 2025
[Q] Who or what inspires your style?
[A] My music inspires my style and Pinterest.
[Q] What would you wear on a first date?
[A] Probably a cute shirt, some pants, or maybe a dress.
[Q] Is matching with your significant other cute or cringe?
[A] I think it’s kind of cringe because I don’t know, it just gives me weird, obsessed vibes and I don’t really like that. If it’s a matching bracelet or something that’s a bit different.
[Q] Describe your style in three words
[A] Interesting. Unique. Basic.
[Q] What’s the best compliment you’ve ever received on an outfit?
[A] A couple years ago I wore these flared leggings, and someone told me they looked like a coral reef.
[Q] Is style important for your choice of partners?
[A] I would say it is, I wouldn’t want to date a highlighter kid, having good style is also kind of representative of who someone is in my opinion.
[Q] What advice would you give to someone developing their own style?
[A] Definitely go on Pinterest, search up however many styles you can and go on TikTok even. There’s a lot of good inspiration for making cute and different outfits.
Jace Goddard (‘26) – January 8th, 2025

[A] My least favorite are slim jeans, and my favorite are baggy jeans with Tims.
[Q] What are your “ins” and “outs” for 2025?

[Q] What advice would you give to someone developing their own style?
[A] Don’t be embarrassed to go out and try new things and be confident to wear what you like.
