CULTURE: What's Zo Wearing? October 21, 2007

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. (almost) 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.

Fall! Autumn!! Sort of. While I go to sleep each night wishing to wake up freezing, it hasn't really hit LA yet. In any case, I'm dressing the part. More black, grays, browns, olive, deep purple and dark cherry tones - all on my radar when selecting dailywear stuffs. I've dyed my hair a deeper violet-bllue, even.

Of late I'm especially fond of loosely draped items combined with fitted ones, and various combinations thereof. To be honest, half the time I just feel like wearing boots. a sheet of fabric pinned creatively, topping it off with a ridiculously priced jacket and calling it a day. I imagine popular fashion's retro currents haven't reached the days of alterna-togas just yet, and you'd all roast me. So here is a facsimile! Just know I'd rather be wearing a sheet.















Knit wrap: Ross
Dress: Melrose
Boots: Ross
Arm warmers: Tokyo
Bag: shop near Asakuza temple, Tokyo
Over the knee tights, match the hair: 100 yen store, Tokyo [100 yen = $1!]
