Allison Parsons wears many hats—she’s an artist, designer, and staff member at Toledo Hospital’s Audiology department. She also has a cooler-than-thou look about her; often dressed in dark colors and favoring simplistic, well-fitting silhouettes over feminine styles, injecting a fair share of city girl chic. Armed with an artful imagination and a flair for aesthetic beauty, Allison always turns heads when she leaves the house!
What do you love to wear the most?
Anything black, all over prints, throw in bold accessories and you have my wardrobe.
You’re an artist who creates pieces from reclaimed wood. Does that inform what you wear?
In a way it does on the complete opposite spectrum of black. My work is comprised of neutral tones, clean lines and pops of bold colors. I always gravitate towards wood tones as the base of starting a composition.
Why are aesthetics in fashion so important to you?
This outfit would have a completely different look if it was all black denim or lace for example. I need to have the right mixture of textures, tones and prints.
If you could choose a style icon, past or present to emulate in your wardrobe, who would it be?
If I could have the Mad Men wardrobe, pieces from Annabelle Neilson, Anna Wintour, Victoria Beckham and 50s-era Audrey Hepburn tailored by Christopher Bailey, I would have the perfect wardrobe!
