STYLE GURU BIO: Anna Cho

Hi, I am Anna Cho, and I am currently a sophomore at New York University, majoring in studio art. I describe myself as a simple yet creative person. I always try to bring out some kind of creative side from even basic and mundane things.

I think I got my creative and fashionable side from my mom. She has been my inspiration since I was a little girl. I grew up watching her mix and match clothes and create new things from old objects. I think new and trendy things aren’t always the best. I can find a way to recreate simple and basic things to fit me perfectly. Also, I lived in four different countries throughout my life, seeing and experiencing varieties of cultures. I always refer back to these moments when I’m creating a work of art, styling myself, and brainstorming ideas. My unusual experiences always reflect back to my choice of colors, patterns, and styles of everything.

Currently living in New York, I love that I get to freely express my style. I always match the most basic item with expressive items and balance out the whole. I love to wear striped shirts whenever, so I have a whole row of striped shirts in my closet. Also, I love turtleneck shirts since I can create a stylish vibe just by wearing them. With these simple patterns and colors, I often style DIY accessories like a thread chocker and a bracelet. I think DIY-anything can make a bold statement about oneself. Places and things in New York City always inspire me to try out new styles while still maintaining my original style.

I am excited to be a Style Guru this semester and hope to share my creative ideas and to explore new things together!
