I would describe my personal style as fluid. I go by how I feel, the aura I want to exude, and the statement I want to make. From the pieces of clothing to the makeup look, every element is intentional and tied to a specific feeling I base the whole ensemble on. As an OrgComm major and marketer, there’s nothing I love more than expressing identity and intention through creative communication. Whether it’s challenging gender norms by wearing something typically associated with masculinity or channeling the power of Lucy Liu in Charlie’s Angels during her stimulating innovation scene—complete with knee-high leather heels—it’s all about provoking emotion. It’s about telling a story: who I am, what I value, and how I navigate spaces. It’s not just about looking good either. To me, it’s about being authentic and deliberate—transforming personal identity into artful communication. My #StyleWeekend begins with creating space for my creative pursuits and staying open to new ideas and ways of understanding. All week, I’m packed with work, shoots, readings, and meetings, but it’s always important to take a step back once in a while to refocus and reflect.—Violet Gallardo
My outfit embodies my personal style: prioritizing comfort while exploring new colors and silhouettes. I used to wear only black, paying little attention to clothes or accessories. Now, trying earthy tones makes me happy. I feel more at ease wearing natural fabrics and looser silhouettes. My #StyleWeekend involves getting lots of sleep! After long workdays, my weekend is about recharging my mind so I can feel braver and more creative in styling myself.—Seth Tala
My look features a long-sleeved polo paired with denim jorts and chunky loafers. It’s giving formal—but with a twist. This style makes me want to immerse myself in the trendy side of fashion. As a Gen Z, I love experimenting with new looks! For me, this kind of outfit is perfect for community events or pop-ups. My #StyleWeekend involves visiting cute cafés and rocking a great outfit. It’s like therapy for me.—Kerr Remoto
My personal style is versatile, swinging between feminine and tomboy-feminine depending on the occasion. For events, I lean toward simple yet elegant outfits, while on regular days, I go for an off-duty model vibe. One thing is consistent, though—you’ll almost always find me in dark-colored pieces, especially black. My #StyleWeekend involves exploring and trying out new restaurants and cafés in the city. I like to research beforehand by checking the menu and the overall vibe of the place. Then I choose an outfit that matches the ambiance. I aim for looks that aren’t too loud but still make a statement. Ultimately, the key is to wear something you truly love, because confidence is what makes an outfit!—Ely
