STYLE GURU BIO: Kendall Garrett

Hello CollegeFashionista viewers! My name is Kendall Garrett and I am a fashion student at the Savannah College of Art and Design. I am currently in the process of getting my B.F.A. in Fashion Design with a concentration is Business Management and Entrepreneurship (and possibly a second minor in Fibers). This is my first time writing for CollegeFashionista as a Style Guru and I can not wait to share all my favorite looks and trends with you all!

As my first year at SCAD has come to a close, I have gained a more concrete idea of my style aesthetic while learning in the process, that fashion is all about risk tasking and stepping out of your comfort zone. That means, donโ€™t be afraid to wear or try something different! Thatโ€™s how fashion icons are made.

After I complete my degree, I plan to immerse myself in the fashion industry in hopes of absorbing all the knowledge and experience I possibly can, so that I eventually start my own fashion line. Being a Style Guru is definitely a step in the right direction, and I am thrilled that I can not only publicly share my own knowledge, but learn from others as well.

As for my style, I have a strong interest in fashion with a very feminine, bohemian or eclectic type of feel. Growing up in Austin, Texas, I was engrossed by self-owned boutiques and pop-up markets at a very young age, and I learned to truly appreciate the originality and uniqueness of small business designers. My school is a very inspiring place, and being surrounded by other fashion students as well as visits from top designers like Calvin Klein, my personal style has really blossomed. A large portion of my wardrobe is from Free People; however I do not think that fashion has a specific price point. With my newfound love for everything and anything vintage, you can find me usually rummaging through local thrift stores and resale shops.

I cannot wait to share not only my style with you all, but also the talented student body of SCAD as well.
