“I’m wearing a Haq-Ni hijab, bandana from Farmers Market on 14th St Union Square, Christian Dior scarf from Aunt’s vintage stash, blue bracelet from J Crew, white bracelet and watch also from my aunt, dress gift from my artist brother Naqee, and Nike kicks. My inspiration is a blend of my aunt’s and mom’s style with an electric flare. I love to wear my HAQ-NI hijabs alongside pieces which remind me of fun times and my amazing travel adventures.”

Kristen: “I’m wearing an old Miu Miu jacket I’ve had for years, a Simone Rocha mini dress which I actually wore as one of my wedding dress combinations last August, a pair of Comme des Garcons girl shorts, Noir Kei Ninomiya x Repetto shoes and a Vivienne Westwood bag decorated with charms and of course Dollchunk rings.”

Karen: “I’m wearing a Marine Serre transparent raincoat and an Otto d’Ame dress with a vintage Rafe New York bag, Lorenzo Serafina belt as a necklace and SoftWalk clogs. I feel most strongly about the coat because it makes everything it’s worn with look good, and the clogs which are literally constructed like actual orthotic shoes so they can be worn for walking in the city all day with absolutely no discomfort.“
