FASHTALKS WITH LINDSAY RICHARDSON

Describe yourself in 3-5 words?

Caring, loyal, and driven.

What is your personal fashion style?

Natural and relaxed. Feeling comfortable in my clothes is important and my easygoing nature tends towards more casual outfits. I love simple, flattering pieces that can be paired with items I already have in my closet. But I do love any occasion to dress up!

What do you do for a living?

I am the social media coordinator at a sustainable apparel brand for men and women, Outerknown. It was founded by world champion surfer, Kelly Slater.

"Bright pink because I’m bold, girly and the life of the party."

If you could throw a parade of any caliber through your office, what type of parade would it be?

Inspired by my recent trip to Maui, it would be an Hawiian themed parade! Mai Tai’s and leis for everyone.

If Hollywood made a movie about your life, whom would you like to see play the lead role as you?

Natalie Portman, because she is beautiful and classy. I’d like to think we look alike. :)

What is your favorite item in your closet?

My organic cotton jumpsuit from Outerknown, sustainably made, flattering and easy to wear — dressed up or down.

What are the best and worst purchases you’ve ever made?

Best purchases definitely consist of every single little black dress I’ve ever purchased (because I can never have enough). The worst purchases would probably be my 21st birthday outfit that I returned shortly after.

You’re a new addition to the crayon box. What color would you be and why?

Bright pink — I am bold, girly and the life of the party.

"My eyes have been opened to the racial oppression that happens in this country and I look forward to educating myself more about these issues and how we can all be a part of the change."

Who is your favorite designer on Fashwire and why?

Theory, because they have the best timeless flattering pieces. I also interned for them while I was in fashion school in NYC. It was a great experience that I learned so much from and shaped my career today.

What’s the most interesting thing you’ve read or seen this week?

My eyes have been opened to the racial oppression that happens in this country and I look forward to educating myself more about these issues and how we can all be a part of the change.

When social distancing comes to an end, who is the first person you will see and why?

My best friend, and employee at Fashwire, Ian! We went to college together and have been so close ever since. We always have the best time together and he's the one I call to make me laugh and feel better.
