Kirsten Ingram, Innovations Concerts PR rep, and Chris Hatfield, designer/student
Our first-ever Style Sense pairing is a couple who've mastered the art of thrifting. We stopped Kirsten, a New Zealand native, and Chris, a rocker-turned-designer, and asked them to share their frugal fashion wisdom with us.
How would you describe your personal style?
Chris: Honestly, I just like classics. If it's functional and classic, I don't really care about much else.
Kirsten: I try to take the best of styles past. But I think I'm most influenced by the '40s and '50s, because the women were just trying to make do with what they had when World War II was on. And that whole make do and mend attitude has really affected me.
What considerations are important to you now, style-wise?
Kirsten: Both of us just because of the time in our lives, we're trying to move towards professionalism. So something that is unique and perhaps of a different era, the things that we're influenced by, but at the same time it's appropriate for work.
Chris: I have tattoos, but I wear them in what I consider a business suit fashion where if I put on professional clothing you don't see any of them, but I put on a pair of shorts and they're everywhere. I don't know why I walk that line. But that's important to me.
