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.)







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
