請介紹一下自己 - Tell us a little bit about yourself and your projects
Hi my name Agathe, I am currently living in Taipei, Taiwan. Alongside my day work as a teacher, I study fashion illustration at Shijian University. As for future projects, I’m keen to expand my network with creatives here and do more styling.
一年前來台北工作。工作之餘，我喜歡拍照，styling，寫部落格 （agathezelook.com）
2. 有在關注哪些時尚相關的品牌或資訊呢？What fashion-related brands or information are you paying attention to?
Lately I've been keeping my eyes on kidsuper, which is a NY street style brand that not only creates poppin clothes, but also dabbles in other arts including painting, music, and videography. The brand's latest SS21 collection was super innovative and refreshing, featuring a stop-motion catwalk video starring dolls wearing his collection.
我最近喜歡街頭跟中性的風格。比如說：kidsuper, x-girl, and heliot_emil
3. 個人在穿搭上的必備元素是？What would say is an important element in style?
在穿搭上，經常會看到我用顏色鮮豔配件來_。例如橘色的包包，大紅色的口紅，等等
I think color coordination. You often see me wear bright colours in my outerwear or accessories that plays and complements another part of my outfit. Even if it’s just as simple as a bright bag or lipstick, I believe pops of colour here and there can really give character to someone’s look.
4. 春夏季節，在個人穿搭的用色或單品、細節的運用上有什麼想法？In the spring and summer, what are your thoughts on the color and details for personal wear?
Hmm, I’d say it all comes down to the fabric of my garments. In the hot and humid summer of Taipei, I like to gravitate towards flowy, breathable materials like cotton, linen, or silk. I don’t have a special preference of color for the season, choosing my color depends more on my mood that day.
Tell us a bit about the look you chose to wear today
I was feeling playful and bubbly today, so I decided to opt for a red themed street style attire. This bandana-print long-sleeved shawl is super quirky and eye catching! It features details like wide sleeves and cotton material which make it perfect for cooler evenings where it’s too warm for a jacket but too cool to go without a sweater. On the inside I’m wearing a simple nike crop top and as for bottoms, I went for these statement pants featuring cute pops of color that I think compliment well with the jacket.
As for the final but most important touch, I tied my hair into some space buns for added kawaiiness ^.^
