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: When on a mission, no detail ought to be spared — a secret agent is always well-equipped.

Shoes and gloves must be grippy for running and climbing, a small backpack filled with music, weapons and delicious snacks is necessary to keep the hands free for combat, and a jacket from Plastikwrap...is just awesome and works.

If all fails and severe measures must be taken, a short clingy dress remains a trusty secret weapon.

*Not shown: later that night this very dress was transformed into strumpetacular club attire by adding lipstick, shiny patent Steve Madden wedges and a short black furry coat. I don't recommend this look unless you're a trained assassin, armed or in company of several ferocious friends who can protect you.

On another even less related note, I'm going to see Dir En Grey tonight for the second time in 12 months.

That is all.

Coat: by the one and only Plastikwrap.
Puma superhero boots: $12 new at Buffalo Exchange.
Dress: $17 at Ross.
Backpack: $20 Hollywood Army+Navy store.
Gloves: vintage, via my mother. I wear a size 7 or 7.5 and these were 6 3/4. The fingertips had to go after my nails wore them down. Left the size tag attached on purpose.

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. She hates it when humans tell her to smile.

great coat!

I'm jealous about you seeing dir en grey...

Can anything go better with pale skin and magnificently red hair than black? Stunning, as usual.

Loves the coat.

Double Ditto on the coat!

The gloves would look better long and not so hollywood biker

nah. i dig the gloves.

it all looks good

Amazing jacket. Shame there's nothing similar for guys from plastik wrap.

Gloves and boots are cool, too

I love that dress.

the coat make you look kinda like a Grammaton Cleric from Equilibrium (cept you'd need a set of glocks to complete the look)

Great Look. I love the Jacket!

Oh, I'm jealous of you getting to see Dir En Grey twice already. I missed my chance and it made me sad.

dir en grey !!! you are so lucky!!

Ferociously beautiful. And surprisingly inexpensive.

P.S. A set of Glocks might complete the look, but real secret agents know to stick with Walther.

Perfect secret agent attire, whether used for subterfuge or seduction! I wish I could find cool boots like that around here.

And AWESOME on the Dir en grey. I saw them on the thirteenth and it was an amazing show.

That's the only reason to have winter. To wear cool black coats and gloves.

As always very cute.

very sexy.

But of course - i gots to represent mah peeps. Adriana is the best!

wow spectacular outfit
