2016 Fashion Throwbacks

1/13 Edited to

... Read moreReflecting on my 2016 fashion journey while attending the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising (FIDM) in Los Angeles, it’s incredible how the local scene influenced my style choices. The vibrant murals scattered throughout LA, especially around Venice Beach and Downtown Los Angeles (DTLA), became spontaneous backdrops that perfectly complemented my wardrobe. Each mural, with its artistic expression, seemed to inspire different outfit themes—from casual streetwear to bold, experimental ensemble choices that matched the colorful scenes. During my Fashion PR internship days in Hollywood, I learned how crucial it is to adapt your style to different urban settings while maintaining your personal brand. Whether attending industry events or casual meetups, my 2016 outfits balanced professionalism with creativity, reflecting both my education and Los Angeles' eclectic vibe. For anyone looking to revisit or reinvent 2010s fashion trends, combining your surroundings with your wardrobe can create compelling photo moments and authentic style statements. Using public art as a backdrop not only adds depth to fashion posts but also highlights cultural elements that make your style story unique. This approach has continued to inform my creative fashion choices beyond school, reminding me that true fashion inspiration often comes from the environment around us.
