Our resident PR Coordinator—and Mississippi native—goes from “sorority girl’ to sleek professional in 60 seconds flat.

Your style in three words or less? 
Eclectic. Androgynous. Downtown. 

What’s your never-fail, go-to outfit?
Black jeans, an oversized cashmere sweater, fur coat, and ultra-high black boots. 

What’s your earliest fashion memory?
My mother was one of the first designers for the Wranglers women’s line in the late ‘70s, so fashion has always been a part of my life. I didn’t miss a single episode of “Style with Elsa Klensch” for the first 12 years of my life! 

Where do you find fashion inspiration today? 
There are great moments in films and music videos, but most of my ideas come from fashion photography—current or vintage. I have a framed Vogue cover that hung in my dorm room in high school. It’s the 1997 September issue featuring Linda Evangelista in a Smurf-blue fur coat.

Fashion aside, what do you love about your apartment?
Our red room. My roommate and I decided it would be a good idea to paint the room ourselves and not hire professionals. It was one of the most disastrous, time-consuming projects I’ve ever embarked on. But now, it’s my favorite room in our home. 

What is the one Michael Kors piece that you cannot live without?
My men’s Chambray shirt with tinted pockets. I wear it with everything from a neon skirt to simple black pants. 

Do you remember your first Michael Kors purchase?
I inherited a bright crimson Michael Kors Cashmere Poncho from my mother. She purchased it in the ‘80s when she was working in New York City. It’s nearly thirty years old and I adore it. 

How do you make the world 2 percent better?
My grandparents were civil rights activists, so I grew up in a home where social awareness was extremely important. Throughout college I volunteered with refugee children teaching them art and English as a Second Language, and helping them to assimilate into our culture. Now I volunteer with International Rescue Committee, a premier human rights organization. Every weekend I work with refugee teens who have just arrived in the United States.
