Taylor Moore

“You have to remember your soul, goals, amenity, and the big picture, but at the same time you don’t want to be consumed by the big picture. You have to see the trees not the forest.” Taylor Moore

Taylor says that for him, style is incorporating his surroundings and developing his own interpretation of what he sees. He is from a small, “WASPy” town on the Gulf of Mexico in Alabama (“we go sailing on the weekends”). His life is a visual journal, like his grandfather’s cardigans and WWII sunglasses, his grandmother’s broaches, a studded bow tie and jackets given to him by friends, and a black leather bomber from the Lower East Side. Interior design and painting are all included in his illustrated story, but it’s done with huge overtones of humor and irony. Madonna, among other things, were windows into “another world” as a child; thus, he…

Chase Cohl

occupation: headdress maker, poet, singer, and songwriter

“Algonquin Park in Northern Ontario is my favorite place in the universe. Something about the silence that you witness in the evenings in Algonquin, the simplicity of existence there, life is at its most naked. The water is the clearest you could ever swim in, the nights are the darkest you’ve ever seen, being that close to bare earth is truly ethereal.” Chase Cohl

Chase’s goal is to “remain childlike in her creativity…and among other things to find a good man and have 9 children and pet wolves and live in the woods.” Based on her recent move outwest and the magical world that she has manifested there, it seems as though her fairytale is coming true. Chase’s style is a lifestyle in the truest sense, everything in her world is a reflection of her imagination and visions. Her particular infatuation for…

Rochelle Goldberg

occupation: visual arts student and jewelry designer for her line Ralph and Duchess

“I am inspired by unique attitudes in general as opposed to the specifics of how they manifest themselves. It’s not necessarily rebellion, rather a sincere need to assert ones individuality by a means that ignores both taboo and the norm. Marchesa Luisa Casati is a tired cliche of this. Through her unapologetic extravagance and almost decrepit luxury, she was defiant of all expectation.” Rochelle Goldberg

An Indian ankle bracelet with her Converses, Rochelle holds tight to the playfulness and fantasy of dressing up. She loves the part of fashion that is removed from practicality. When she was visiting colleges in Manhattan from her hometown of Vancouver, British Columbia, she stumbled upon her favorite hot pink dress with beaded snake detailing. It says everything about her whimsical approach, especially when worn…

Alessandra Calabi

occupation: student and actress

“If I could summarize my style in two words, it would be French schoolboy.” Alessandra Calabi

Cultured and poised beyond her years, I fell right into Alessandra’s depth when she opened the door in her red cashmere sweater, high waisted jean shorts, and ballet flats. She never likes to look “too smart,” so there is always the “dressed down” piece, like her jean or black leather jackets that throw off her otherwise undeniably simple good taste. Her style is rooted in some of the enduring tenants of being born Milanese, where labels are about “tailoring and fit” and not trends. However, her signature of piling up bracelets on one arm reflects her strong sense of individuality and fervor for self-expression – she admits to feeling lost without them. Clothes, their details, and the way they feel (not “fashion”) make Alessandra happy, like thick textured…

Hunter Thompson

occupation: client coordinator at Bumble and Bumble New York

“My mom always told me, ‘You need to always look your best when you go out of your house, no matter what it’s for, because you never know who you are going to meet or who you are going to run into.’ I always think about that. I’ll get dressed and [say to myself], ‘Oh, no! What if I get locked out and I have to go into the city looking like an urchin?’” Hunter Thompson

Hunter is a ladies’ man when it comes to his mom, a Southern gentleman when it comes to class, a touch of Brooklyn when it comes to his love of black, and a movie star when it comes to distinguished good looks, in the vein of Donald Sutherland. There isn’t anything in his wardrobe that doesn’t look expensive, yet nothing is.…
