First Impression: When I
first saw Nicky on the quarter mile I did a double take. With his six-inch heels, screaming "fashionista", I was jealous. Every time I
saw him on the quarter mile, I would stare in amazement. At RIT, fashion isn't always appreciated; seeing Nicky was super refreshing and reminded me of the fashion world I love.
What is your major? What
year are you?
I am a fourth year multi-disciplinary focusing on design
and business.
Where are you from?
Hong Kong. I came
over when I was thirteen, a freshman in high school. Despite this, English is my primary language. My family is in Hong Kong and I go back to visit
them.
What are you planning
on doing after college?
I am trying to find a job or internship as an assistant or buyer in the fashion world. For example, working for Macy's: what product to
buy and for how much. You have to know the trends. I am "HUGE on
fashion."
How do you think your style reflects you as a
person?
Fashion is a huge part of my life and I've always known
that since I was little. I do
design work and draw all the time. Dressing up, investing my time, expressing
creativity. How some people have a
passion for drawing or art, I have a
passion for fashion.
How do you see
yourself?
As a little rebellious, out of the box, doesn't fit in, but I don't
really care.
How would your best
friend describe you?
Sometimes they don't agree with my style or decisions but
they love me anyways. Instead, they enjoy my creativity, and appreciate
that. I don't care what people think and I stay true to myself.
Is there anything you
want people to know about you when they read my blog?
I encourage people to come up and say hi. I am open to
people's opinions, if you have something to say, feel free to. I would rather
have you understand and get to know me than judge right away.
