Fashion Board USC: Gabriela Lorraine, Breathing Fashion

Hello dear readers,

I hope you’re all having a lovely day filled with laughter and the perfect summer breeze. I’m Gabriela Lorraine, of Breathing Fashion, and I will be a sophomore fashion merchandising major and print journalism minor come fall! I love the macabre, yoga, John Steinbeck, well dressed men, holding hands, lipstick and bow ties. I imagine too much and breathe too little, and I think about my future in fashion a little more than I probably should. I’m an aspiring fashion journalist with boney shoulders, an Alice Dellal inspired sidecut and some incredible memories that have been created at USC.

Although I think it’s important to have your own personal style and aesthetic, I still think it’s worth it to pay attention to trends and adopt whatever you like. I couldn’t be understated or simple if I tried; I’m a more is more kind of person in practically every facet of my life. I love bold silhouettes in dark colors, spikes, studs, leather and oversized purses. Some of my favorite trends are innerwear as outerwear and cut outs. I love using Polyvore to create my dream outfits; here are some of my favorites.

I’ve described my style as “Macabre Meets Steinbeck” since I love mixing black and floral. I’ve also coined “High Fashion New York Death Queen Cool” as my personal style.

As I said earlier, I make floral crowns on my Etsy, El Bambino. I’m constantly in awe of my surroundings, and I draw a lot of inspiration from other realms. Who’s to say we’re the only ones?

These are all the crowns that are currently listed!
