NEWS: What's Zo Wearing?

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.















Zo says: I'm 5'4. Towering, it's true. Only recently was i finally able to accept this staggering fact and embrace my tininess.

Even a year ago you wouldn't have been able to tell, because i wore enormous platforms or heels almost every day. These days shiny patent leather flats, ninja shoes and the like occupy much of my shoe rack and, dammit, i like it. While i'm perfectly capable of running in heels of any height, if the need to climb a building of put up a fight with a gang of bloodthirsty hooligans were to arise, i'd much prefer to do so without wobbling.

Moving on, this here get-up is all about color, texture and tiny spaceships. The skirt is rough raw silk and while it is a mix of pale iridescent blue and red, the tones go nicely with the powdery green of the coat and the plum-ish gradient of the fuzzy scarf. This seemingly strange combination works because all the colors are muted and the hints of purple throughout coincide with my hair color.

The tiny spaceships, however, are most important and hold the entire outfit together.

cute!!! - i really like the little drawings on your shirt....

great shoes...

Love your style...not to mention you're really beautiful.

Maxpedition is awesome, got a Thermite pack from them.

I masturbated to it!

Cool outfit!
You should have a weekly or monthly spotlight on your fave outfit. :-)

What a great idea!

it could be SG's answer to middle-of-the-road makeover shows!

While she was wearing it?!

hawt.

i'm so envious of your goodwill anna sui find! that skirt is gorgeous. not that it holds a candle to the tiny spaceships of course, but you know.

A perfect expression of color and form. While fashion merely takes the abilitiy to keep your eyes open STYLE takes intelligence and creativity. You, my dear, have style.

as always...brilliant!

You're welcome.

i think it's cute that you think that people couldn't tell that you were short cause you were wearing heels.

this is certainly one of the more "comfy" outfits i've seen you pull together most recently. very very nice, comfy yet classy looks good on you.

Prekrasno! I especially like that you're wearing that beautiful scar on your right eyebrow. The rest of the outfit is just whipped cream, the furry scarf being the cherry on top.

Ooooo I like this
