Jimmy Interviews Nova on Fashion and Beauty Standards
Jimmy: Welcome Nova to HotSeat Interviews! Tell us, how did you find your way into the fashion world?
Nova: Hey Jimmy, thanks for having me! My journey began when I was 16. Living in Milan, I started designing clothes for friends which eventually turned into a small business.
Jimmy: Wow, Milan! The heart of fashion. Speaking of which, do you think fashion truly defines beauty?
Nova: Fashion can amplify one’s beauty, but it should not dictate it. Beauty is personal and diverse, sometimes even absent in trendy outfits.
Jimmy: With trends constantly evolving, how do you stay relevant without losing your unique style?
Nova: I believe in observing trends but not being enslaved by them. It’s about integrating elements that resonate with your style.
Jimmy: What’s your take on cultural appropriation in fashion?
Nova: It’s a sensitive subject. Borrowing can shift towards appreciation rather than appropriation with respect and understanding of origins.
Jimmy: Many argue that fashion trends promote waste. Thoughts on sustainable fashion?
Nova: Absolutely vital! We can’t ignore the ecological impact. Sustainable materials and practices should become industry norms.
Jimmy: Hair trends change as quickly as clothing. What’s your opinion on the current “effortless hair” trend?
Nova: It’s a wonderful trend promoting natural beauty, reducing the need for harmful styling products.
Jimmy: Can beauty and fashion finds peace between the digital insta-glam and real world appearances?
Nova: It’s possible with authenticity. The digital world should challenge, not standardize, real-world beauty.
Jimmy: Are beauty standards in fashion promoting inclusivity these days?
Nova: We’re on the right path, but there’s still a long way to go towards complete inclusivity in media and fashion.
Jimmy: Considering your fashion journey, have existing beauty standards ever influenced your personal beauty practices?
Nova: Initially yes, but now I see them as guidelines rather than rules. Authenticity is crucial to personal growth.
Jimmy: What would you say to young designers about the pressures of conforming to fashion norms?
Nova: Dare to be different! Trends are temporary, style is eternal. Carve your identity first.
Jimmy: Lastly, tell us about a hairstyle or fashion trend you think will stand the test of time.
Nova: A classic blazer and bob cut. Timeless choices that reinvent themselves in every era.
Jimmy: Thank you, Nova, for these insights. Looking forward to seeing more of your innovative designs!
