Name: Karen Doh
Role: Fashion blogger, Thatsdohpe
CollegeFashionista: Tell me about your blog. What’s the vibe you are trying to project?
Karen Doh: Every time I drop a new shoot, I am always focused on trying to bring out the unexpected—that could mean I’ll bring out a different hair style, makeup style, outfit or occasion for the outfit. I think new and different every time is fun; it’s a challenge to me and it keeps the viewers excited for what’s coming next. I also like wearing things that most people wouldn’t normally see me wear on the regular day-to-day basis; it’s almost like taking on different personalities and acting. The blog is a place for me to have fun, be me but also whoever I want to be. Fashion is all about experimenting, and I believe the real Fashionistas are those who can wear and appreciate a range of styles and feel inspired or inspire others through these styles.
CF: What is a style rule you try to live by?
KD: I would say, if it’s weird, outrageous or really bold to wear a certain piece of clothing, wear it! Even if it’s a simple jeans and white T-shirt or an avant-garde piece, be bold. If you can make an outfit look quality and turn heads, then you’re doing it right!Â
CF: What’s your favorite designer right now and why?
KD: I’m a luxury leather goods lover. I am a huge fan of the Céline handbags, mainly for the quality, shape and modern simplistic feel to each item!
CF: What are some new things we can see you in or that you are working on?
KD: Right now, I am working on revamping my entire website into something I can fully create from start to finish on my own! I emphasize branding and being able to represent myself as Thatsdohpe, so my next step is to have that personal touch of aesthetics on the website. As for my blog, I hope to continue working with different fashion styles, boutiques/sponsors, collaborative partners and continue expressing and challenging myself in different, fun forms of fashion, writing and modeling!
