M: What is your number one fashion do and don't?
S: Number one fashion do: Dress as you're most confident and comfortable.
Number one don't: Don't be trendy. It's so costly to follow trends because they change so quickly and it's lazy because it leaves no room for you to create a personal style.

M: Why do you think street fashion sections are popular in magazines?
S: Street fashion is so popular because it's inspiring! That's where high fashion comes from. It's a trickle up theory: "they"(designers, socialites etc) look to "us" (indies and emerging) for trends.

I bumped into Zandile couple weekends ago in BK and she loved my chain shades. I blessed her with a pair and she whipped out her flipcam for an on the spot interview! I'm always ready for a shout out, so check out the interview below! See it on her blog here!
Zandile Blay is creator of The Blay Report and market editor of Paper Magazine.
This interview was so much fun to do. We talk about my fave red lipstick, what I'm listening to and of course my designs for Odd & Even, NYC.
Read the rest of the interview HERE.
The Xena cuff has been featured in the June/July issue of The Fader Magazine. Please share in my joy and spread the word about Odd & Even, NYC.
"Every once in a while someone comes up with an idea that makes you say “Now why didn’t I think of that!?” I’m willing to bet that upon laying eyes on Odd & Even, NYC’s adorable “chain-faced” eyeglass accessories, many designers will find themselves expressing that very sentiment."
