CULTURE: What's Zo Wearing?

Secret Photoshop Agent and resident Fashion Icon zoetica often has the staff at SGHQ asking, "What's Zo wearing?" Her unique and eccentric style is a rallying call to those who suffer from mainstream malaise. Each week, she tells us how she's combined ordinary items to create her extraordinary look. Undaunted by unusual combinations, "What's Zo Wearing" is SG's answer to middle-of-the-road makeover shows.











"That's more like it—weather," I mutter as I dust off my umbrella and pull on leather gloves.

I wasn't built for LA weather, which is why I bemoan it with such regularity, y'see. My people are meant to roam colder, older places. I wish for a tightly-knit metropolis, ancient dignified structures blending with the ultra-modern, winding streets and pathways, commerce stacked high and pouring out into the streets. Rain. Wind. Electricity and information buzzing through the air. That sort of thing.

Not that I make a habit of allowing LA heat to stop me from layering, but proper temperature makes it far more satisfying. It won't last, so I seize the opportunity, delight in each raindrop and don heavy duty thigh high socks with pride.

Hooded wool coat—40 GBP Camden Town street vendor, London.
Fuzzy scarf—gift from my lovely friend Lumi.
Striped knit top—$30 Express.
Skirt—$14 on sale at H&M.
Petticoat—$3 Goodwill.
Thigh high socks—$10 Sock Dreams—addictive if you are partial to socks.
Boots—$30 sale at a nameless Melrose boutique, now defunct. Similar ones can easily be found at Aldo.

Zoetica Ebb is a painter, SG style technician, make up artist, alt. model, photgrapher & occasional cosmonomad. Born in Moscow, Russia, she was raised by a troup of gypsy scientists from space, who coldly sold her to an American technological research facility in 1992. After a daring escape, she graduated from the LA County High School for the Arts, retreated into the rumored underground atelier where she studied with the much-revered fashion guru Madame Von Kuntzertag, followed by a brief stint at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. She's traveled the world, gathering fashion expertise and is thrice certified as official Finesse Monitor to the Khan throne.

As always...GORGEOUS

zo is so awesome

of course, this still doesn't prevent me from dressing like a typical white guy. oh well, at least Zo looks great....

love the shots. so hot.

what i'd also like, some pointers for guys?

I think if I met a girl wearing those shoes I'd be smitten forever.

That's a gorgeous outfit...
I must say though - your dog is SO cute!!!

I like her glasses!

Drop $300 on a pair of raw selvege jeans, $200-300 on some nice leather boots, and the rest doesn't fucking matter.

Is it Sunday already??
Very hot!
Thats a really cool dog by the way.

Wow, that is sooooo adorable

Purty mouth.

Take it off.

I too would like to be a snazzy dresser.


and skirts really just don't work for me.

looove the leather gloves!

My favorite to date....probably cause I'm partial to pigtails

So, $600 per outfit? It better be the kind that makes a 1200 lb cow look like Daniel Craig.

Yep. Zo does it again.
