I remember first discovering the Nasty Gal website in university when one of my cool girl classmates told me about it, I loved it and always checked back to see what was new. They have such a strong look. You could just tell all the women at the event were huge fans too, everyone had that Nasty Gal 'look', there was lots of black, in mesh, lace and lacey mesh, 'marsala' (which Sophia said was huge for this season), floppy hats, dark lips and platform shoes. So while we waited for the event to start, there was a lot of marshaling to be done seeing as there were 500+ eager gals there, I made some sketches to pass the time.
Sophia had lots of awesome wisdom tid-bits during the talk, some of my faves were:
"Money looks better in your bank than on your feet." Cha-Ching! So true.
On creating your dream job.
"Professionalize what you love doing, that's what I did with vintage clothing."
From a Q+A from an aspiring stylist.
"Take quality photos of all your looks, get a Squarespace. Archive everything."
Well you know I love female role models (Hi Hillary!) and the entrepreneur spirit, so of course I can't wait to finally read the book. Plus! The book has amazing badassy illustrations by Jo Radcliffe.
