STYLE GURU BIO: Jenny (Zhenyi) Zhou

Hi! I am Jenny Zhou, a crazy K-pop fangirl and a passionate music producer with a lot of unique insights about fashion. I am currently a freshman at New York University. In this big and crazy city that is madly in love with fashion, I somehow manage to survive and even thrive with my own fashion sense.

I believe that the best fashion one should have is the one that suits them the most. Whatever suits the models of American Eagle doesnโ€™t really suit every single person. For me, I love to wear clothes that I feel comfortable in; my normal street wear is a beret hat, leggings, booties or sneakers, coats, and a shorter top. I love to wear plain outfits with some pops of color to impress. In winter, I will always wear circular scarves to match the clothes. I feel the key concept of fashion is about emphasizing your traits; for example, I have a voluptuous body, so I will wear tight clothes to show off my curves instead of hiding them because fashion is really all about showing who you are.

K-pop is my guilty pleasure. The obsession for the K-pop group, such as Apink, Bts, and Bigbang, has inspired my fashion sense as well. I began to study the fashion trend in Koreaโ€”I studied their makeup and styling closely and started to take some of them into consideration while I did my makeup and styling. This is why I sometimes wear some trendy yet cute clothes; since I am pretty short, the cute concept suits me well. I am a Sherlock trash, think silent raves are definitely lit, and have a huge collection of perfumes and lipsticks, even though I donโ€™t wear them that often. You can also find me at concerts and artwork displays often.

Like all the girls, I like simple tops with animals and trendy words printed on them. Hot pink is the best color for me. I do not wear accessories often, only when I go to something formal, but I do have a necklace that spells out my name on me all the time. My fashion might look like another normal street wear, but I always have something that shows the uniqueness. If you stick to who you are, you will create your own fashion as well.
