Let us start by talking a bit about you. Who are you are you and where do you come from?
Hi there,
My name is Christine and I come from Germany. A couple of weeks ago I did a student exchange with my class and I stayed in this very nice host family. I immediately made friends with their daughter Kate. It felt like we are just the same. We both adore fashion! She was the one who told me about Avenue7 and I just love it!
Tell us why you love fashion and where you get your inspiration from.
Why do I love fashion? Phew... I just do. Buying clothes and jewellery is one of the best things in the world. And I think you can express who you are through fashion. I think my friends always know in which mood I am just by looking at the clothes I am wearing.
I am not sure where I get my inspiration from. Of course I flip through the pages of fashion magazines occasionally, but usually I just walk through the stores and buy whatever I like – and that are really a lot of different things and styles.
What is your favourite brand and where do you like to go shopping?
Well… I think it is very difficult to say, which one is my favourite, as there are so many!
As I am only a student I cannot afford the more expensive brands but I love to go shopping at Zara, Vero Moda as well as in small individual shops in Cologne. My two favourite shops in Cologne are called “Chocolina” and “Salon Sahnestück”. They have just so many great things and the nicest scarves I have ever seen.
How would you describe your sense of style?
I LOVE scarves and jewellery. These are the things you do not really need but are just SO good to have. And in my opinion scarves and jewellery are what complements every outfit. An outfit might be great but with the perfect accessories it is just adorable!!!
If I am short of money I usually manage to pass the apparel shops but I almost never manage to pass my favourite jewellery shop Konplott or shops with scarves without going inside. BTW, I was very surprised that they do not have Konplott in the UK.
Lastly, please ask the next featured user a question you would like answered.
I would really like to know how much money students of my age (I am 16) spend on clothes per month.

Avenue7 Intern about fashion and today's trends
Hey, lets talk about you. Who are you and where are you from?
Hi, my name is Kim, I’m 19 years old, from Germany and currently occupied at avenue7 as an Intern. Presently I’m living in London and it’s great to be here! I just gratuated from school and starting to study at the end of August in Germany. Untill then I want to experience the fashion scene in London and that’s how I came to avenue7.
Why did you want to do an internship at avenue7? Whats so special about it?
Thats easy. I love fashion! Avenue7 offers everyone the oppportunity to express oneself by creating outfits. Ist a simple, but good idea. I love working for avanue7. I’m dealing with fashion blogs and photo blogs all the time and it’s a lot of fun.
Tell us why you love fashion and where you get your inspiration from.
Fashion is what I feel. My philosophy is: It’s better to regret the things you wear, than regret things you didn’t wear. If you look good, you will feel good and your enviorment will notice that. An amazing outfit can give you so much self- esteem and charisma. I’m searching for inspiration mostly in magazines, such as the VOGUE or InStyle, but also at the street. There are so many stylish and good-looking people out here. Espacially in Notting Hill. It’s THE place to be for fashion victims.
Which fashion trends are cool?
Colour Blocking! Definately! Ist a must this summer. You can’t go shopping without seeing bright and neon -coloured trousers and skirts in the shops. Its my absolute favourite fashion trends this summer. A must have: a long neon coloured skirt ( got mine from topshop) and blue high wedges( perfect for going out in hot summer nights!)
What is your favourite brand and where do you like to go shopping?
I love Diesel. I love the Jeans and the Jackets, the fitting is amazing and I like the cool and casual shapes! Mannheim is one of the best places to go for shopping in Germany. I love all the shops and its a really nice city. But of cource it’s not comparable to London!!! London is like a fashion mekka I always dreamed of. One thing, I will definately miss when I’m back in germany, is TOPSHOP. They have such lovely clothes and the latest trends! If you want to be fashionable and stylish, go to Topshop! Another really great place for shopping is Westfields in West London. I’ve never seen a bigger mall. It’s like a paradise for woman. You will find shops like River Island, Topshop and Bershka but also luxurious brands like Gucci and Louis Vuitton, so its defintely worth a visit!

Designer of the Week: Ditzy
This week's feature designer is Ditzy, owner of the fashion label different kinda love. She's been with Avenue7 for over a year and its only recently did we spot her beautiful outfits. Check them out below!
What don’t we kick things off with you telling us about yourself?
Hi I'm Cara, 13, Perth Australia which is the most isolated city in the world, I'm currently in school
How would you describe your sense of style?
My sense of style basically represents how I'm feeling from day to day, but i really like sort of natural pink peaches and soft colors as i think you'll be able to tell in my outfits, but i also really like big black boots with leggings and military styled jackets.
Tell us a little about what you use Avenue7 for and why?
Well I use Avenue 7 for many things, to design clothes, keep in contact with friends, make new friends and get comments back on my outfits that I've mad but also comment on other peoples outfits and inspiration for my daily wear fashion.
Tell us how you go about creating an outfit? Where do you get your inspiration from?
I just basically find a picture of model and sort of base the outfit around what I think shes feeling/looks like, I also sometimes just mish mash things together and hope it works out well. lol
What are your 3 favourite outfits on Avenue7 and why?
well um that's a real hard one i love so many outfits on here and everyone is great designers.
D: I really think amal is a great designer.
what if we would be the same?......... would you like me for who i am?
created by -amal * on avenue7.com
D: Also gini has so many great outfits it was hard to decide which was my favorite
D: Another great designer i think is Katrina V
What fashion trends are cool where you live now?
Over here in Australia summer is coming up and it's really hot so most girls are either wearing shorts with gladiators and cropped tops, or sort of floral sorta of stuff like dresses, tops and skirts with gladiators and a cute sunnies.
How did you come up with the name for your Fashion Label?
Um well it might sound a bit stupid but fashion is like a different kind of love for me, it really just stays with you and can represent what your feeling by the clothes style and colors your wearing. i love fashion.

Designer of the Week: Smiilles.?
This week's featured designer is Alyssa, owner of the fashion label Description of Beauty. Her outfits are simply fabulous. Check them out below.
What don’t we kick things off with you telling us about yourself?
Hey! My name is Alyssa , Im not telling my age , Sorry !, Im from the beautiful state of Florida,USA. I love my family. It's my number one priority. I'm a volleyball player, since I was 10 years old(: I got into fashion watching ALOT of Project Runway. I wanted to be in the show so bad, lol(:. My aunt -who is a designer- gave me lessons on how to sow so I can make some dresses. Since then I've been a fashion maniac!
How would you describe your sense of style?
My style sense...hmm, Casual, but I like to mix things once in a while. Im not wearing t-shirts and jeans all the time, but sure I can go around like that! Simple easy and cute , -with some heels and accessories, ofcourse-.I love,love,love,love, like I said before, Tutus. You can see me wearing T-shirts, Jeans, Leggins, Heels, Accessories, and Tutus(: Oh Converse too! I have 5 pairs and wear them if im too tired to wear heels or if I have to run that day :PP
Tell us a little about what you use Avenue7 for and why?
For the love of fashion. This site is sooo fascinating , and it helps you express you who you are as a designer, and it helps you see how fashion can relate from all over the world! Its also nice to see who likes the outfits you created , to see who has the same fashion sense as you. It also help you as a designer really find who you are.
Tell us how you go about creating an outfit? Where do you get your inspiration from?
When I create an outfit, I think about my mood. If im happy I create colorful, bright outfits with nice saying or quotes. Yet if im a bit gloomy that day I create dark, sad outfits. I usually get my inspiration from people. I love seeing photos it just makes me think oh well she would look nice wearing this or that. I get to hyper making outfits(:, like if I just got a coffee.
What are your 3 favourite outfits on Avenue7 and why?
Hard choice.. but I'll have to go with these...
S: Its just so beautiful , It goes so well together ! I would so wear it around to the mall with friends!
want you to make me feel, like i'm the eonly girl in the world....
created by ~leah~ _ on avenue7.com
S: I don't like tank-tops that much, But this is to die for. I love how so well together it is, Screams summer in my ear !
S: Last, but not least, this outfit is so fierce, I love it. It shows how strong women really are.
i know what the worst day of my life was, but when i try to figure out the best. everyday outdoes the last..x
created by samm*<3 s on avenue7.com
What fashion trends are cool where you live now?
Shorts. Shorts , shorts , shorts. Everywhere you see someone in a t-shirt or tank-top with shorts. Sandals are also something you see alot , when crocs were invented, I remember seeing everyone wearing them. Now I don't see alot of people with them , lol(:
How did you come up with the name for your Fashion Label?
Some people think their not beautiful and thats just wrong. Everyone is. If they recieve a compliment its like oh no its the dress. Its not, Its her. People have low self esteem, I don't agree with that at all. Clothes should make you feel beautiful but first you have to know your beautiful.
Any suggestions for things you would like to see on Avenue7 and shout outs to people?
Add more features. That's all I ask, Like In the studio, put a category for places&scenery , that would be really nice. Shout out to my wonderful family and the people who've favourited and liked my outfits ! And to God !
What is your favourite brand (This question was asked by last week’s featured user Autumn!)
Well, I would keep on sketching at my house and make outfits in real life with my clothes and post them online. I would also tell my friends to do the same so we can see each others tastes -in fashion-.

Designer of the Week: Autumn
This week's designer of the week is Autumn, owner of the fashion label Butterflies and Hurricanes. She has an interesting angle on how she came up with the name so read on to find out!
What don’t we kick things off with you telling us about yourself?
My name is Autumn, (yes named after the season!) and I'm from Canada. I basically live and breathe everything FASHION!
How would you describe your sense of style?
Thats a tricky question! My sense of style seems to change all the time. There really is no telling what I'm going to be wearing everyday. I don't really have a certain type of style. Sometimes I might wear something 'preppy' other days I might want to wear something 'edgy' and sometimes I might wear just a pair of track pants and a sweater. My sense of style is just a whole bunch of my favorite pieces of clothing paired together. (Floral, black, ballerina flats...)
Tell us a little about what you use Avenue7 for and why?
Well, I use Avenue7 because (as I said before) I live and breathe everything fashion. I also just like to share my fashion and ideas and get feedback from others to know their opinion on my take of "style."
Tell us how you go about creating an outfit? Where do you get your inspiration from?
Hmm... I usually get my inspiration for my outfits from real life experiences, like what happened to me on that day and how I am feeling. Or sometimes I get my inspiration from songs that I love, and put my perspective of that song into the specific outfit.
What are your 3 favourite outfits on Avenue7 and why?
Wow! Thats a tough one. There are SO many great outfits on Avenue7. I really like outfits that have couture pieces, and creative layouts. But if I had to choose my top 3 favourite outfits they would be... (drum roll please.)
the worst way to miss someone is to be sitting right beside them knowing you cant have them.
created by gini ' on avenue7.com
What fashion trends are cool where you live now?
Well, since I live in Toronto Canada, there are many different trends. But it also quite chilly in Toronto this time of the year so I mostly see like chic leather jackets and designer boots, and purses. It really just depends on the person and place of town you are in. (:
How did you come up with the name for your Fashion Label?
I actually just came up with the name (Butterflies & Hurricanes) randomly. But I like to think I came with it because my personal style is sometimes soft and sweet (like a butterfly) but sometimes is rough and tough (like a hurricane)
Any suggestions for things you would like to see on Avenue7 and shout outs to people?
I think Avenue7 should really have something where you can not copy other peoples outfits. It really makes me mad when I see another user copy my looks and they get credit for it when they actually copied me. Shout outs to people? I don't have any certain shout outs to certain users but I would like to thank everyone for giving me their opinion on my outfits (and for being very friendly about it too!) You guys know who you are. (:
Which celebrity do you think your style is most similar to? And why? (This question was asked by last week’s featured user Mary!)
I would have to say, Emma Watson because her style is simple yet trendy and fun! (:
Thank you so much for making me Desighner of the Week! It really means alot to me! ;D
