What rules of thumb do you maintain when curating your own closet? What are your must-have pieces…(And is there anything you need to cut back on?)
F: "I try to only buy things that will last, and I won’t be sick of in one season. Nothing too trendy. And it’s important to remain true to your personal style…only buy things that you are comfortable in. Must-have pieces for me are my old Balenciaga leather jacket, a Celine bag, T by Alexander Wangs T- shirts, and lots of jeans. Because I work in a creative, casual environment, I tend to buy lots of separates, and not many dresses.

E: "Having been a part of two denim companies, I actually do think I may have too many jeans. But I cannot bear to get rid of any of them. Each pair feels like a postcard from my past and reminds me of a specific time in my life. I am way too nostalgic to let any go! The most important rule in fashion is to not be overly trend driven. Stick to what works for you. Own your style, and interpret the changing fashions within that sensibility. My must-haves are a pair of 3x1 skinny jeans, my Alaia boots, my large worn in brown leather PS1 bag, my Margiela high-tops, The Row leather pants, Isabel Marant t-shirts, and a Rag & Bone oversized soft white button down shirt."
