What do you two like to do together most?
KF: We looove to dance! We met at an event and had barely spoken, but immediately connected on the dance floor. Havana’s energy is so alive and contagious; I always feel like I’m laughing or dancing with her in the most expressive ways!
HRL: Kristine you little dream! I feel the same way—Kristine is so bright and free! It’s true, we have danced together a lot, and sort of in an unhinged way every time…I think we bring out a lot of good silliness in each other.
What drew you to your outfits tonight?
KF: I fell in LOVE with the black dress the moment I saw it because of its elegance and darkness. I love playing with oppositions and the dress made me tap into both my dark and feminine side. I felt empowered and honest.
HRL: We were going to match, and I was going to wear the dress in white—but then I swooned over these pants! I couldn’t help it, they were singing to me from the rack. The texture, the construction—they are such powerful pants. I feel ferocious in them. Sadly, I don’t think I’m actually that ferocious in real life; it’s a ruse. So, I had to wear my amazing pants and abandon Kristine, but it’s okay because Kristine looks so amazing.
How does your look tonight reflect your personal style?
HRL: This look is outside my comfort zone in a way I really enjoy. I love that a good outfit can let you take a step outside of yourself. Although, I will say, in real life, I do prioritize good, interesting pants and things I can move in, and this look holds both! In terms of personal style, I feel like I have always appreciated that clothes can be used to reflect my internal world in a way that’s vulnerable and thoughtful, but recently I’ve been seeing clothes as a gateway to adventure.
KF: I am quite pragmatic when it comes to clothing while also being very true to my current emotional self. I have a lot of fun expressing what I am currently feeling or going through with fashion, so it ebbs and flows, but I always make sure to feel comfortable. This dress is incredibly comfortable (!!) and allowed me to express both my power and sadness. Without feeling like I can move how I need/want, I can’t be true to the moment.
