STYLE GURU BIO: Gaby Henderson

Hey! My name is Gaby, and I’m a sophomore in the fashion design program at Kent State University. I first fell in love with fashion when I was eight years old and this was when I realized that I preferred designing outfits for my dolls as opposed to going outside to play sports.  Since then I have always been drawn to finding and appreciating new looks and styles, and I have since dedicated my life to fashion.

I have always had trouble sticking to one aesthetic. Each time I put on a new outfit, it is like putting on a mask, which allows me to play a different role. The one characteristic I always try to demonstrate is uniqueness. With every outfit I wear, I strive to add a special feature which stands out. I find that my typical look is usually inspired by the ’90s fashions. Denim and chokers are two crucial aspects needed to complete my everyday style. You will usually find me sporting a subtle hint of bright color, whether it be in my accessories or within the details of my individual clothing articles. A small burst of color is often what is needed to add a little touch of me onto whatever outfit I am displaying.

For the look I am sporting above, I paired my favorite denim jacket with a simple T-shirt and black ripped jeans. This look is effortless, yet very retro. My favorite part of this look is the red fishnet choker, which is a truly unique piece. I paired this look with some vintage sunglasses that had an unusual rim shape and tinted purple lens, and a classic silver watch. The look was finished with a simple touch of all white adidas shoes.

I am so glad to be working with CollegeFashionista, and can’t wait to see what the semester holds for us!
