Head to toe, what are you wearing?
Frames are sexy hands down, especially senior frames (ha)! They give you a sophisticated and sexy look! The teal sweater with the design “The Censored tee” as Status Quo-No calls it. We used gold for the emphasis of the shirt and random colors to have options to wear with the sweatshirt. For example we could’ve simply styled the outfit by wearing royal blue skinny jeans along with yellow Chuck Taylors. You don’t want to pick out a shirt from your wardrobe and be depressed because you only have one particular outfit in mind. The idea is to have a plethora of ideas! Accessories can always bring attention to your outfit, chained necklaces and dazzling gold necklaces are always appealing to the eye. Thrift stores is a sanctuary of cheap trendy clothing, this is where I found the purple skinny jeans. Never the less, high top shoes with skinny jeans are so sexy to me. So I had to add a neutral color to the outfit, so I decided to mix match it up and slip on some high top charcoal vans!
What are your concepts and where do you get your inspiration from?
My concepts to make designs for my clothing would be virtual weird designs, I try to image dream like figures or something I’d visual as if I were hallucinating off of laughing gas lol. I'm very big on the Neu Rave (which would be neon colors or outspoken patterns) scene London is bringing heavy to the streets.
What is your favorite piece of the day?
Red Skull Hi-Top Vans
Where is your favorite place to shop?
ANY THRIFT STORE, Urban Outfitters.
Are you a Fashion Junkie or Label Whore?
Definitely a fashion junkie, you can spot me out in the streets and think I’m suited in some expensive clothing when in all my whole outfit from head to toe is $20 including sunglass frames. I love finding different clothing that I KNOW I wouldn’t catch someone looking like me on the streets. I love my image to be different from everyone, to me dressing like everyone else is ordinary.
Who is your fashion icon?
Carri Munden fashion designer of the label Cassette Playa also Kesh who’s the fashion designer of the label Keshwear.

>FPB
Name: Filip Piotr Berdek
Age: 20
Hometown: Connecticut
Occupation: Student, Fashion & Jewelry Designer
What are you wearing?
From head to toe. Vintage shades, I painted the teal stripe on myself, plain white v-neck tee from H&M, vintage pair of suspenders, small Juicy fortune cookie charm as a necklace, vintage leather jacket, Armani Exchange jeans which I dyed purple, my old boots, I also painted these teal, and my new vintage portfolio.
What are your concepts and where you do get your inspiration from?
My inspiration comes from everywhere and everything. I get inspired by individuals with style. Definitely from the past, such as the 70's and 90's. I inspire myself to take risk and not fit into that overcrowded box with trend dripping from head to toe individuals. My concept is to reprocess vintage pieces into new and fresh ideas that set me apart from the rest. To add my own touch to everything I purchase because life is too short to look like everyone else.
What’s your favorite piece of the day and what’s one article that you're wearing that is your favorite?
My vintage portfolio. I added a strip of teal to make it pop and a small gold flor de lis in the corner.
What is your favorite place to shop?
Vintage Stores, Goodwill (yup, i always find great things there)
All hipster pretentiousness aside, what is the worst outfit you ever wore?
Wow, probably in middle school, a velour track suit... Yeah I know, horrible.
Are you a fashion junkie or label whore? And why?
Hmm, I'd have to say both, but way more of a fashion junkie. I love labels to a certain extent, especially vintage, but never from head to toe. Fashion has so much to offer, the past and the future fashions have so much in common. I see fashion from all of its aspects, the look, the design, the process, the presentation, where it came from, who would wear it, why did someone make it. There are so many things to consider and I just love getting lost in all of it.
Who is your fashion icon?
No one in particular, I don't like to limit myself. Anyone with true personal style. People who have that little something extra about the way they look, you just know that is their own personal style. Individuals who take risk and are not afraid to, who are confident in what they wear.

My icons (fashion wise) are M.I.A, Kanye West, Kesh, my father in the 80's and Twiggy.
