Black Velvet :: Karin

Karin is one of our trendsetters of the month! Let’s learn more about Karin.

Tell us a little bit about yourself.
My name is Karin, I am a journalist and ever since I can remember I have been a self-confessed clothes-horse.

I dream of world style domination. My mind seems to be congested with visions and imaginings of exquisite clothing, textures and colors and how these transform every day banality and encourage us to experiment towards discovering our own unique style.

What inspired you to start your own blog?
Stylish and individual people on the street fill me with enthusiasm. Instead of hanging on to all these perplexing thoughts and inspirations bottled up inside my pretty little head, I decided pour them out onto others and start my own style blog called Wunderlust. I have always maintained an obsessive love-love relationship with individual style; vintage clothing and sky high shoes. To me personally fashion is the one element in my life that transforms, educates, inspires and gives purpose to.

How would you describe your style? What’s your favorite look at this moment?
I adore vintage items as each one tells a story and is a piece of history. Back in those days when clothing were not mass manufactured and stood the test of time. What inspires me most is not tomorrows trends or yesterdays fashion shows.

Where do you get your fashion inspirations?
My inspiration is individuality…people who express themselves and dress because clothing allows us to speak louder than words.
