Kaitlin de la Garza is a costume designer who studies at Metropolitan State University of Denver. We spotted her in the 1500 block of Federal Boulevard sporting the black-and-gold color scheme in her jacket and purse. "I really love that Marie Antoinette movie," she says. "That really turned me on to costume design." Her septum piercing is de la Garza's favorite accessory."Deborah Harry, Edith Head, Nancy Sinatra and Princess Nokia are all women who inspire my fashion," says de la Garza. "There are days when I want to wear all black and dark makeup and there are other days that I want all the colors on my body," she explains. "Most times I dress like a child. I always think of what I am doing that day and try to set myself up for that."
Says de la Garza: "There are two sides to my style: the black-and-white-goth-pop side and the side of me that wishes I was tropical on a beach in Brazil . Simple sharp lines, architecture and shapes all play into my style."If you are dressing to express your own personal fashion philosophy -- emphasized in black and gold -- you're on trend, Denver.
