1. What is your name?
Dorota.
2. Where are you from?
East Coast.
3. When did you decide to start blogging?
Almost 3 yrs ago during the Sundance Film Festival. It was very sporadic and not really fashion focused at first.
4. What inspires you to dress?
The search for interesting form and structure. I believe it comes from my strong background in the visual arts.
5. Do you have any strategies on the way you dress?
De-clutter. Healthy-looking hair and skin is the winning accessory.
6. Who are your favorite designers?
At the moment Rick Owens, Clayton Evans of Complexgeometries, Nicole and Michael Colovos of Helmut Lang.
I'm curiously peeking at Gareth Pugh, and really liking dark, organic characteristics of men's collections from Obscur, Julius, and Chronicles of Never. I recently inventoried my closet and the majority is still Marni.
7. If you could collaborate with any designer who would it be?
Rick Owens. He seems to comprehend leather's natural beauty.
8. What do you think of fashion blogging as a whole?
Shy exhibitionism. Cheap marketing tool. A fashion editor’s annoyance.
9. Do you believe fashion magazines still have relevance? (Do you have any favorites?)
Depends which one and for whom. I believe there are still some good ones. The indie, cult-oriented for a narrow audience. Not filled with false advertising, shallow content addressed to everyone and no one. Personally I don't really read about fashion so much, I prefer design or architecture. The closest thing to fashion I subscribe to is The Gentlewoman.
10. How do you feel/what do you think about having a dialogue with your readers?
I have the best readers.
If you want to see more of Dorota please check out The Divinitus. Her most recent post features, quite shockingly , color! And hopefully she will bring more great dialogue.
Life is beautiful, let's share a little.
