Lola van Loo on Fashion

What has been your biggest fashion faux-pas?

Oh, that is easy. I was 13 years old and a fan of my huuuuuuge orange starfish hair clip. That hair clip was made from rubber, had googly eyes and could squeak. Horrible! ; )

If you could only shop at one store, which would it be?

The German label "Blutsgeschwister". These designers rock! They create wonderful clothes.

If you could change one thing about your closet, what would it be?

A hidden cellar under my closet. So the closet looks small but hides many, many treasures...a dream.

Survival of the fittest: What is one item in your closet that you will never get rid of?

An ivory-colored coat and skirt original from the 50's. It is a wonderful piece. I love it!

If you were given the opportunity to have a famous designer revamp your entire wardrobe, who would you choose?

Lena Hoschek. Because I am a fan of the rockability scene and the stylings of the 50's and 60's.

Name an actor/singer/celebrity whose wardrobe you admire the most.

Hayden Panattiere and Dita von Teese.

What are your best and worst fashion purchases?

My best? Hmm. That changes from time to time until I've found a new best fashion purchase. My worst is a black leather cap. Ughh!

Who makes your favorite pair of jeans? Shoes? Dress or Suit?

I am a fan of G-Star jeans. They fit lika a glove. My favorite shoes are pumps, Mary Janes and flats/ballerinas. I don't have a special designer. The dresses of Blutsgeschwister and Donna Ricco are great.

If you had to describe your personal style in one word, what would it be?

SweetAndSexyPunkrockAndRomanticChic.

If you could bring back any fashion trend, what would it be?

The 20's!
