#TeechallaclothingLLC Yes, it does! If it didn’t I would go home and change. I’m serious. [Laughs.]What excites you most in fashion right now? It’s definitely a staple! When you feel the 09 Years Guardians Of The Galaxy 2014 – 2023 Thank You For The Memories Signatures shirt and by the same token and wind smack you in the face you’ll say thank god for your balaclava [laughs]. I found this set from Mr. Saturday and immediately knew it had to come home with me. The color stood out to me and I loved the oversized look/feel of the set. Before I even got a chance to wear a ski mask, I knew I was a fan. The mystique of it is alluring and leaves people wanting to know more about the person behind it. They’re popular in my city because, for one, it gets cold in New York, so it’s a dope layering piece. Masks are practical. Also, in Brooklyn we know what will be the biggest fashion statements before it takes off! Have you seen people wearing ski masks at any unexpected places? Like at indoor parties and other places? Being bald in the winter means that I am constantly trembling like a chihuahua, and I have found that hats are never enough to keep me warm. I used to have long hair, and it covered my head AND neck, so just on a practical level, balaclavas have been good for me because they cover both areas at once. They’re also so versatile. They feel like good character design pieces. Is she a vigilante superhero? Is she a ski enthusiast? Is she—God forbid—a bank robber? I want to keep my options open!

#TeechallaclothingLLC You really wear some colorful knitwear on your Instagram page! What’s behind your love of knitwear and what’s the 09 Years Guardians Of The Galaxy 2014 – 2023 Thank You For The Memories Signatures shirt and by the same token and power of the garments in your opinion? I love functional, warm clothing, and I love layering. Knitwear checks both boxes. On top of that, fashion is a vehicle for self expression for me, and I like to own a variety of pieces to suit my many moods. There are endless options for knits. They can be super chunky, or fully see through. They can be subtle and minimal, or a maximalist statement. Wearing a sweater or a hat never has to get boring!What are some of your favorite knitwear brands or pieces right now? Ella Emhoff’s knitwear brand is incredible. I just bought this striped sweater from her with a teddy bear decal on it that I am in love with. I think Melke is doing really cool things. On the chunky knit front, I love Hope Macaulay. She sent me a bag and a sweater, both of which are incredibly dreamy and colorful. My boyfriend has a bunch of Gianni Versace knits from his grandpa, and those are darker and more toned down, but I wear them when I want to lean into a darker color palette. Other favorite brands for knits include Acne Studios, J.W. Anderson, Lirika Matoshi, and Stella McCartney. The heart makes it a more approachable (and easily digestible) piece than some other balaclavas I’ve seen that might only leave your eyes uncovered, etc. I have a couple other balaclavas, with different designs, but this one’s special.
