Vanya
She’s 19, and she’s a student at the School of Visual Art, major in Photography. She is my roommate and also my high school classmate and we used to work in the same studio.

INTERVIEW:
Q: When did you started to give thoughts on what you wear and how would you describe your style if you could?
A: I think I started to pay attention on what I’m wearing and how people will see me when I was in high school. Even though we have uniforms but I always tried to have fun with it and make changes to my uniforms, that was just a fun thing to do. (Silence… thinking) I don’t know how to describe my style, but I think I’m the kind of person who only owns a few pants but tons of shirts, maybe texture is what I’m looking for when I’m dressing up.
A black pant of hers.
Q: What makes you happier? People compliment your looking or your taste of wearings?
A: They both make me happy (Laughing…), but it might depends. I don’t like people calling me cute or pretty, I don’t feel like that is a compliment. But it would make me really happy if somebody I don’t know can understand what I’m wearing, and see how I wanted to be seen.
Q: What is the ‘gender’ of your wearings?
A: Ah, I don’t wear girly wearings, like skirts, pink shirts… I think I’m more a uni-sex wearer.
Q: But would you wear men’s wearings?
A: Yes.
Q: How do you keep your wearings?
A: (Giggles and points the floor)
Q: Do you think you would be the same style as you are right now if you don’t have a Instagram, or any other social media?
A: I think yes, because we would still have magazines, but magazine is kind of more general and for everyone… I think using Instagram kind of broadened my vision, but everyone want to be different and end up the same, I think I developed this (Her style) because those are what makes me the most comfortable.
