occupation: DJ, student, and musician
“I am obsessed with anything from London in the late ’70s, Seditionaries, Anton LaVey, black metal, Clockwork Orange, anything black, anything dead, the New Atlantis by Francis Bacon, Bas Jan Ader, anyone crazed and creative.” Kristine Barilli
I always leave a SLU shoot inspired by a tip or idea. In Kristine’s case, it was many things, but the one I followed through on was the Rick Owens onesie (birthday present to myself). She fully convinced me of its worthiness for every day and every occasion (you could sleep in it or wear it for black tie), which is pretty much how Kristine always dresses. She despises Halloween, because for her, every day is an organic expression of “dressing up” as she feels. It’s all about her uniform of all black (never jeans) and an architectureal silhouette. You might see Kristine walking to the corner bodega in her only vintage piece, an ostrich feathered bolero, inspired by her ultimate style hero Brian Eno, or in one of her cutting-edge pair of boots to the gym. She actually works out in her favorite band T shirt that she wears all the time, Suicidal Tendencies, and reluctantly caved into purchasing sneakers, but the closest ones to her armory of wedges. Admittedly hardcore about her passion for music (she is habitually either djing or home researching bands and songs), she is equally driven to perfection with her impeccable futuristic goth wardrobe.

I love it when a single persons wardrobe is one colour, but they make it work in such an extreme way, that it (The colour) always looks fresh.

I’m in love. If you see her again, tell her to visit her new best friend in Seattle. She just blew my mind big time!

How can you listen to Eno and have Neil Young on your wall but not be a fan of vintage??? Je ne comprend pas.

Wow. Thank you for making this, her style is amazing and inspiring.

I read the paragraph before watching the video, which I never do. I thought she would be some uptight fashion conscious New Yorker but her swagger can only be captured on film. This is one of my favorite posts to date.

agree with Mea, mispronunciation of epitome is tragic and i lost interest after that blunder
January 18th, 2010 at 7:30 pm
epitome..agh that killed me, and the band tee she’s wearing is suicidal tendencies not suicide tendencies…but that could have been a typo.
amazing shoe collection though.

Like the way she pronounced epitome.I think she was switching up the pronunciation in an artistic way.
