How would you describe your style?

My style is very similar to Rihanna's, edgy but also very fun.

I would say that I get a lot of inspiration from the '90s and '80s, from trends that were popular at that time. I also get very inspired by celebrities like Rihanna and Beyonce.

Do you care what other people think of your clothing?

Not at all. I have my own style, and that is a way for me to express myself.

I love kids. I am passionate about helping kids and giving back. My dream is to be able to open my own daycare in the future.

nikkiName: Nikki Tan

Major: Psychology

Hometown: Los Angeles

Wearing: Top and shoes unknown, shirt from Goodwill, pants from Downtown and necklace was bought in the Philippines.

How would you describe your style?

My style depends a lot on what mood I am in, but I really like vintage and indie clothes. Sometimes I can dress very edgy, and the next day I am classy. It varies from day to day.

Where do you get your inspiration?

I read a lot of Vogue and Elle, so mostly from magazines and from online pages like Lookbook. I also watch what people around me are wearing.

Do you care what other people think of your clothing?

It depends. Some days I am really lazy and just put on whatever, and in that case I don't care at all. If I put a lot of thinking to my outfit, then it is more important to me what other people think. So yes, I would say I do care, but at the same time, it is my own opinion that is most important.

Why did you choose that major?

Actually, I started out with a fashion major, but after taking one psychology class, I felt that this was something I could see myself doing in the future. I really love to interact with people, so I switched major to psychology.

Major: Political Science

Hometown: Casablanca

Wearing: Sweater from Brandy, pants from ANGL and shoes from Anat B.

How would you describe your style?

I don't think I have a specific style. I like to try different things and mix different clothes in the way I like.

Where do you get your inspiration?

Probably mostly from the seasons and different magazines.

Do you care what other people think of your clothing?

No, not at all. I like really weird stuff. I usually likes to wear clothes that other people are afraid to wear. I put on whatever I think is pretty.

Why did you choose that major?

I think it is interesting. That major is very general and wide, so I can work with a lot of different things. In the future, I hope I can run my own PR firm and do political campaigns.

patrickName: Patrick Dayio

Major: Sports medicine and business management

Hometown: Los Angeles, Calif.

Wearing: Tank top unknown, shirt from H&M, pants from Topshop and shoes by Vans.

How would you describe your style?

My style is really a head-turner. I am not following any trends. I do my own thing and have my own style no matter what people around me are thinking.

Where do you get your inspiration?

My inspiration comes from a whole lot of clothing brands and stores. I also look what people around me are wearing. If I see some with a swag style I make sure I compliment that person.

Why did you choose that major?

I was very handy in high school, so I joined the sports medicine and started to helped out during trainings. Business I study because some day I would like to open and run my own clothing store.
