discover your personal style
here is a questionnaire that i found put together by isaac mizrahi. he’s the creative director for liz claiborne (yuuuumy!), and before that, a long time designer for target. he has also appeared and presented on tv in such shows as sex in the city, spin city, ugly betty, and hosted his own show, the fashion show. he gained some notoriety when he interviewed on e! channel’s the red carpet show for the golden globes in 2006. he says that the answers should help you accentuate your positives, start you thinking about your tastes and your inspirations that you can use to live your life by and to express yourself by.
Answer the questions below. Write whatever first comes into your head. Some of the questions (and your answers) may seem irrelevant, but the answers will help you with your personal style. Your answers will change over time, so it is a good list to revisit often.

i would never be caught wearing a low cut top or dress – my breasts are not for show!
i never leave the house without putting on my amex card!
i splurge on shoes (although i have some cheapies in the wardrobe) and skimp on jeans (although i have some designer brands too)
my favourite painting (at the moment) is blue poles by jackson pollock
my style inspiration is hollywood costumer, edith head (especially “all about eve”)
when i was a little girl i dreamed to be natalie wood in west side story
a style i’ve always wanted to try but never had the nerve? flight attendant on japan airlines (maybe because it’s a little topical!)
