Serena Perera - 2T6, WB

What inspired this outfit?  

 I’m always inspired by random people I see walking down the street. What’s great about the city of Toronto is how many cool outfits of every style imaginable you can walk past in a day.

How would you describe your personal style?  

I love the 90s–so maybe a Buffy the Vampire Slayer extra? 

How did you get into fashion? 

I started loving fashion when I began to appreciate it as a form of art with intention. Seeing some of the stunning pieces worn at events like the Met Gala (2018 and 2019 were the best years!) or in some of my favourite music videos showed me what a fun form of self-expression it is. 

Current favourite piece in your closet 

I recently rediscovered a leather jacket my mom bought for herself in her 20s. It’s my absolute favorite piece and she gets so mad when I call it vintage. 

Favourite place to shop OR who are your favourite designers 

 Marc Jacob’s Heaven is the most fun line ever! I also love designers with unique, space-disrupting styles like Thierry Mugler and Vivienne Westwood.
