Name: Fatima

Age: 19

Locality: Hometown is Paterson, NJ. Currently living in NY

Trade by Day: Fashion Student, blogger and intern at Vibe Magazine

Hobbies & Talents: I love to write, I use my blog (sewingstardom.blogpot.com) as a creative outlet. I enjoy reading all types of things, from crime stories of the 40’s to WWD. I enjoy traveling to different places and taking pictures of things I find interesting; but I have never claimed to be a photographer.

Favorite Brands: I prefer thrift stores. I hate seeing other people in the same thing that I’m wearing. I don’t care for labels, that’s wack to me! In highchool I didn’t like them because I couldn’t afford them, I still can’t afford most of them but even if I could I prefer the challenge of creating something beautiful out of something I bought for 3$ at a charity shop.

Fashion Trends (Favorite and Least Favorite) My favorite trend at the moment is definitely thigh high socks and stockings, that may be one trend I have worn out. My least favorite is…hmmmm sequins and shoulder pads, it’s been like a overload lately.

What comes to mind when you hear Dirty Backpack Krew: Creativity, style and culture. The name alone is pretty insane.

What is your plan for 2010 and beyond: Network like crazy, land a job at a magazine, gain as much experience as possible and enjoy life.

Any last words to the bloggers: It may sound corny, but live your life to the fullest. You never know when you time is up so give it your all and don’t be afraid to follow your heart!
