Naira McMullen on Fashion

What has been your biggest fashion faux-pas?

I liked puffy skirts (a la Madonna) in the 80's...

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

Barney's Co-Op.

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

Have more solid-colored, "classic" pieces in it!

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

My vintage coat.

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

Jean-Paul Gaultier

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

While I admire the clothing worn by many performing artists, I can't say that I'm drawn to any one person's style.

What are your best and worst fashion purchases?

Best: My vintage Pucci silk dress (thanks, Hubby!). Worst: Cheap stuff from "The Alley".

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

Jeans: True Religion Shoes: I have a pair of Fornarina shoes I like a lot because they make me taller! Dress: I have a vintage Pucci dress and a Lacroix "Bazaar" suit, both of which I adore!

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

Unique

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

I think it would be to make the classicism of Audrey Hepburn's "look" relevant and wearable today.
