**style profile: erin wasson
After driving down to Southern California nearly every weekend this month, I've pretty much decided that I need to live by the beach someday. After living in rainy Northern California for the past four years, I'm falling in love with the laid-back lifestyle that my native So-Cal represents. Living in a city like Berkeley (where we have actual seasons) has given me an opportunity to wear boots, coats, and scarves to my heart's content. But as I threw on a jacket and jeans to face the Berkeley fog this morning, I couldn't help but long for warmer weather and the opportunity to wear a whole lot less. Sometimes beachwear can be lazy and not-so-chic, but model/stylist/designer Erin Wasson is proof that you CAN face the sand and sunshine in style.
Erin Wasson started her career in fashion as a model, and she made her debut as a stylist when she dressed the models for Alexander Wang's Spring 2008 collection. Her grungy and laid-back sensibilities, when paired with Wang's 90's inspired creations, made for a lust-worthy collection and a most-memorable show.
In the years since, Erin Wasson has continued to style for magazines and designers in a way that makes my heart stop. The 90's grunge look that Wasson created for Elle Magazine in March of 2009 gives me the warm-fuzzies whenever I see it. Erin Wasson has also branched out into the designing realm, creating stellar looks for the surf/skate brand RVCA and working as a jewelry designer for her Luv Low brand.
Other reasons to love Wasson? Well, she hails from Texas, and I can't help but love a Southern girl. She also spent a few months of her life driving cross country in a battered truck, soaking up the sights and scenes of the US landscape. Thoroughly American and incredibly beautiful, Erin Wasson is a picture of when the boardwalk and the runway unite.
I've posted my favorite Erin Wasson looks below. I hope they inspire you to stay stylish the next time you head out to play in sun!
My favorite Erin Wasson look: denim on denim, done right...
