In THE LOOK, OC friends drop by to try on our favorite new arrivals and tell us about their wardrobe preferences past and present.
This week, OC alumni extraordinaire, Christelle de Castro took a break from killing it to show us her studio and catch us up on what she’s been up to post-OC. Primarily known as a photographer, Christelle has shot for publications like Dis, Fader, Teen Vogue, V Magazine, VMan, New York Magazine, OC Annual, and Nylon. But Christelle isn’t limited to the still image. Branching out to film and creative direction, her clients include Nike, Norma Kamali, Suno, AcNe studios, Vidal Sassoon, Hood by Air, and Slow & Steady Wins The Race. If that wasn’t enough, in 2012 Christelle started her own creative agency, Stoneman. Watch out, this girl is unstoppable.
Name: Christelle de Castro
Hometown: West Pittsburg, California
What look are you into at the moment? Sporty utilitarian lesbian on-the-go
What look were you into in high school? My high school look was very post-dELiA*s alterna girl meets Dangerous Minds. I put a lot of genres together and had fun with it. I had a huge hat collection (beanies, bucket hats, dare I say cowboy hats!) and tons of accessories. My caboodle was POPPING. Put it this way, I was voted most uniquely dressed as well as class clown, but we couldn't have doubles in the year book, so I took class clown. Thank god, imagine what kind of bonkers outfit I would have put together for the Most Uniquely Dressed photo!
Most regrettable fashion moment? Oh man, I have a lot of these. My most regrettable fashion moments probably happened whenever tight pants were involved between the years of 2004 and 2008.
Your three wardrobe essentials? A good pull-over anorak, Nike sports bras all day, and a classic sneaker like the Cortez or an all-white Air Max
Most prized piece in your wardrobe? Oh man, this is tough. It's probably the old stuff that I treasure most. I'd say it's a toss up between this Playboy sweatshirt I bought when I was 19, or a vintage marching band T-shirt my BFF Nicole gave me years ago.
Favorite spots to shop? My shopping habits are so random. I either buy stuff from designer friends or buy five of the same things in different colorways from Uniqlo or Telco on Broadway.
Favorite designers? NORMA KAMALI,
