✝ FL: Name/Age/Location/Occupation?
MO: Mary, 24, Los Angeles, Styling Assistant
✝ FL: How did you get started in the business of fashion? Tell us your story!
MO: I’ve always known that I wanted to work in fashion and I got my first taste of the industry when I interned at a modeling agency during college. I then worked as the fashion editorial assistant at 7×7 Magazine. When I moved to LA, I started assisting stylists. I love the energy of being on set and seeing things come together whether in editorials or fashion shows so styling seemed like a natural progression.
✝ FL: What is the most important thing you have learned in regards to working in the fashion industry?
MO: It’s cut-throat and there are a lot of egos. Be confident in your abilities, work hard, and take everything with a grain of salt!
✝ FL: How would you describe your personal style?
MO: Minimal with a touch of rock and roll. I tend to stay away from anything too girly and gravitate towards clean lines, leather and black.
✝ FL: What is your typical go to outfit?:
MO: Skinny jeans cuffed at the ankle, a worn in t-shirt, leather jacket and a great pair of heels.
✝ FL: What trends are you loving for Summer 2012?
MO: Printed jeans and anything with a peplum.
✝ FL: How about trends that you find to be cringe-worthy?
MO: I could really do without “flatforms”. (Me too sister, me too!)
✝ FL: What are your favorite places to shop?

✝ FL: Tell us all your most sacred beauty and/or fashion secret.
