Regular readers of the blog will instantly recognize tu-anh's name as the woman behind the scenes of the Fashion of Goodwill. She also ocassionally writes a blog on living a polished lifestyle. Perhaps you've seen our video on YouTube, no? Regardless, tu-anh and the DC Goodwill Fashionista are BFFs (that's Best Fashion Friends, natch) and she's put together an amazing spring look book, which will premiere on the Fashion of Goodwill website later this month. I can't wait!
I can only give you three hints to the fabulousness that will be the look book: vintage, beach, blues. That's it! My lips are sealed. In the meantime, I'll tide you over with her short and sweet responses to the DCGF's soon-to-be-famous five (plus one) questions. Forthwith, tu-anh's responses...
1. What is the first article of clothing you remember that you loved to wear? A white peter pan collared top made by my aunt. And collar was embroidered by me. I think I still have the pic somewhere. I was about 7 in Saigon. [Perhaps that inspired the early fashion sketch she did, at left? Um...probably not. But it's cool, right? -the DCGF]2. Where is your favorite place to shop for a fashion bargain in the DC area? Flea markets, (Clarendon, Eastern Market) Forever 21, Benetton Outlet, Goodwill, Salvation Army...
3. Where is your favorite place to shop for a fashion bargain outside of DC? New York City flea markets of course! Sundays are the best days to find bargains…
4. Who is your current favorite designer? Don’t really have one, but always have been a fan of the work of John Galliano for Christian Dior and Vivienne Westwood [Those are some of Westwood's more, uh, understated pieces in the picture below. You know, something simple for Saturday brunch. -the DCGF]. Micheal Kors' designs are very nice and clean, too.
5. If you could own any single item from fashion past or present - money is no object! - what would it be? A pair of 4 inch dance heels with the best soft leather bottom and small white diamonds. I'd have them custom made in Italy, where it costs about $5500 for one pair. I love to dance and am very petite, so I need the height! The standard heels are as high as 3 inches...any higher has to be custom made.Bonus Question: How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie Pop? No idea…do you know ? :)
Hey, tu-anh, I ask the questions around there. Kidding! Hang tight, dear readers, and check back next week when I announce the premiere of our spring look book. It's going to be fantastic! Oh, and you can still enjoy last year's pics and video, too, by visiting the site. Have a fashionable weekend...
