“I like things that are pretty simple and without too much overdecoration. Aim for things that are very simple and not overpowering.”

Christian said his refined and slim clothing with dark undertones came from from his time spent as a goth kid in high school. He said that once he got to college he grew up and left the over-stylized effects of gothhood, but kept the touches that did work, such as black boots or muted colors.

“I have horrible fashion sense. If someone is wearing something odd I’ll be like, ‘Yo, that’s kind of weird.’ And if I’m saying that’s weird, it’s got to be really weird.”

Zack’s furcore jacket is not motivated by a desire to be trendy or to attract attention, but because he has always wanted a fur coat. He said that old ladies often stop him to complement the coat and warn him to take good care of it. While he generally throws rules to the wind, Zack said he would never wear a pink sweater vest, skinny pleather pants or a frilly shirt from the 70s.

Sydney’s glam look comes from refining the styles in fashion magazines V and Glamour down to her budget, taste and what she can find. She said that getting dressed is an art, so she mixes the modern and vintage styles with strong primary colors to express herself.
