Love… My attitude… The season… I just wear what I feel… Like my heart on my sleeve… In other words.

I don’t have favorites… I’m not a materialistic person… I just grab what I like… And I’m cheap.
3. NAME A FEW PIECES (CLOTHING, SHOES, ACCESSORIES, ETC.) THAT YOU CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT…
I can’t live with out my leather vest… But overall I can live without them all. I’d rather be nude. LoL.

I can’t wait until the spring. My sister and I are designing our whole spring wardrobe. I’m making some jewelry also… Out of wood and other raw natural materials.

NAME: Carl Davis
AGE: 20
HOMETOWN: Warrenton, NC
1. WHAT INSPIRES YOU WHEN CHOOSING YOUR CLOTHING?
Ideas pop into my head most of the time and I go from there. I do get inspiration from other sources. Kanye West has a big influence, as well as European runway.
2. WHO ARE SOME OF YOUR FAVORITE LABELS/DESIGNERS AND WHY?
Ralph Lauren (not to be confused with Polo). His designs are classic, yet very modern and sophisticated. They are also well made and detailed using high quality materials. Louis Vuitton—> timeless.
3. NAME A FEW PIECES (CLOTHING, SHOES, ACCESSORIES, ETC.) THAT YOU CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT…
Sweaters. Loafers. Sunglasses.
4. WHAT TRENDS ARE YOU LOOKING FORWARD TO/PREDICTING FOR THE FUTURE (NEXT SEASON, NEXT YEAR…)?
I can’t wait until spring. The bright colors. The weather with no coat, unless I want one. I think pastel colors are what I’ll be wearing a lot of this coming season. I’m also getting a little attracted to Gucci. You’ll probably see me in a few [Gucci] items real soon.
