Just like the previously featured @StyleInBeta, this issue’s ModeStar @Starry_S is also a multi-hyphenated talent who is part-time account, part time travel fashionista and part-time hip hop dancer. With much enthusiasm and point of view, let’s learn about this cool eclectic girl.
ModeSens: Since when did you get into fashion? What has fashion brought for your life?
@Starry_S: Since I was very young. My mom was very particular about her various get ups and ways of make up. I learned a lot from my mom. Fashion has gave my life motivation and joy in full swing. I believe that even though my career not is not one that I love, fashion is my true calling and goal.
ModeSens: What’s your ideal way of living?
@Starry_S: Be around those that I love.
ModeSens: Being a fashionista, do you find a lot of overlap between your day job and your endeavors in style?
@Starry_S: Ha, actually not a lot of overlap at all. My profession is accounting, which is really farstretched from fashion. The connecting node for me is street / hip hop dance. There’s definitely a key input for dance in style. I find myself putting together different outfits for different dance practices and themes. I also really relish in the times off work when I can wear whatever I want.
ModeSens: What’s your go-to style? What do you usually buy and where do you shop at?
@Starry_S: My go-to style is a style that’s free and not defined by terminology or a box. Every has a different point of view on fashion so as long as you get to wear what you like, that becomes a natural extension of joy and confidence in life. To me, that’s fashion. In terms of what I like to buy, I really just enjoy buying anything and everything that clicks with me. I still lean towards shopping in actual retail stores where I can touch and feel the textiles and try things on. To put what you tried on into a shopping bag brings me a lot of contentness.
ModeSens: Any favorite fashion brands? Who’s your favorite designer and why?
@Starry_S: ALEXANDER WANG or RAF SIMONS. My favorite designer is Alexander McQueen. I think Alexander Wang’s designs are exemplary of what girl crush would look like to me. I think that his work with black tones is just magically. Especially in this S/S season, his work with pins, lace, transparent nets, leather and silk; I’m in love with his use of all these elements.

ModeSens: What’s your go-to outfit? Why?
@Starry_S: Gender neutral. Depending on my daily mood, I can choose to lean more manly or more feminine. Constrasting colors is also something that I like to do, especially brigh tones. I’ve picked out a few pieces on ModeSens here that are perfect for pairing with women's items but still maintain a constrastful gender neutral vibe.

ModeSens: If you were to give yourself a hashtag, what would it be and why?
@Starry_S: #mixmatch, #beyourself, #trendy. I love experimenting with different pieces and being impulsive on my style ideas. It’s also super key to be yourself and choose your own happiness. Baring a joyful point of view to try and enjoy things in general will maintain your enthusiasm and curiosity for new things.
ModeSens: When you’re taking photos, any tips or tricks?
@Starry_S: Haha, I do have a hard time with photography. I enjoy shooting from a lower angle for a better body ratio. Sometimes photos are for expression so I try my best to portray the truest feelings in the moment through my outfits. There’s something candid and sincere about photography.
ModeSens: What’s your idea on skincare and health? Any products you recommend?
@Starry_S: Go with whatever that’s best for yourself. I like German brand BALEA’s Beauty Effect Lifting Kur - super affordable but effective. Also lipsticks are a must for me. TOM FORD’s lipsticks are pure in colors, bright and compliments my skin well.
