THE DOWN LOWE PHOTO

Month

July 2012

I was scouted by a modeling agency at work today, and they would like me to come into the casting call during the week. What should I wear? I have an afro should I wear it up or out?

Wear something you feel comfortable in that also shows off your figure. Wear heels if you can walk in them. If not, don’t. But you know what? If your look is what they’re looking for, they’ll see it and they’ll book you/sign you/whatever, it won’t matter what you’re wearing. 

Be nice. Do you.

Why can't you stay with Isaac in NYC? xo <3

We’d kill each other. And I like my own space. And did I mention we’d kill each other?

Do you know the name of the model on ONCE IT with the long blonde hair, red lips and dark eye makeup? She's a stunner! You should do a model profile on her!

Pretty sure you’re talking about Georgie Wright. She’s now with Clyne.

why is there no lonely hearts for nzfw? :(

Could be a number of reasons. What I can say though, is that Lonely Hearts are going to be showing at Capsule NYC so I’ll get some pics for you then.

Hey, love the blog, (Im sure you hear that a lot, but hey I guess its good for the ego!) I was just wondering what is the best way to "break" into the fashion industry? I'm really keen to get into a buyer role for a clothing brand or a distribution role. Is it best to start in retail and try and work your way up? I had a bit of a revelation the other day, that the only thing I'm passionate about is fashion and since Im hopeless at sewing that this might be the best way. Any hints? cheers!

Hey there. You can never really get sick of hearing that someone likes what you’re doing, so thanks for the kind words. 

I want to tell you that talent gets you all the way, but often it’s not the case. A lot has to do with who you know. Sure, start in retail if you like. Start however you can. Get to know people, get to know the industry and what you like about it most, what you dislike about it. Learn. If you’re good at what you do, you work hard, you’re motivated and people like working with you, there’s no way you can’t get what you want.

do you have a job or do you get money from your blog? how do you afford all your clothes ?

My blog is one of my jobs. It gets me work sometimes. I freelance. I don’t make much and I don’t have many expenses. I have two credit cards. I get discounts on some of my clothes. I wear a lot of hand-me-downs. It’s like anything, people spend their money on different things. Perhaps clothes are higher on my ‘spending priority list’ than others.

i want to start a blog, but i don't know what to do... like just take outfits? i'im stuck :/

The only way to start, is to start. Post things you want to post about. It’s as simple as that. Don’t bother posting things just because you feel like you have to or you think it’s traffic boosting. As soon as you stop blogging for yourself, you’re screwed.

hey katherine! my cahartt beanie has shit coming off it lol idk what to call it, but its making it look really bad. just wondering if yours does the same and if u can get rid of it

Hey. So I think you’re trying to say it’s pilling. One of mine is a little, but it’s because I’ve worn it to death. I would suggest you look up how to de-pill something.

do you know why karen walker isn't doing nzfw?

Karen Walker hasn’t done New Zealand Fashion Week for several years. Firstly, I don’t think she needs to, and secondly she shows at New York Fashion Week. Sometimes she does an in-season show, maybe that’s what you’re referring to?

I want to get new sunglasses. What do you recommend?

This is a pretty open ended question considering I have no idea of the things you like. Personally, I like some of the Karen Walker frames (the less ‘out there’ ones), Moscots, Ray-Ban Clubmasters and they’ve got these round Yoko Ono looking ones out now which are cool. I don’t mind some of the Supers that are out. Miu Miu has a cool pair coming out this month. I’m feeling the round frames.
