Fashion Twirl of the Week: Allison Hourcade
by Gala Darling July 15, 2009 - 12:25 pm
The launch of Molly Crabapple’s (http://www.mollycrabapple.com) new graphic novel Scarlett Takes Manhattan at the Slipper Room on New York City’s Lower East Side on Wednesday was so full of fancily-clad people that it was difficult for me to narrow down the top contender for our Twirl Of The Week!
Just when I was beginning to despair, I spotted Allison. I was immediately taken by her fantastic headband, super high-waisted skirt & great shoes, & knew I had a winner!
Name:
Allison Hourcade, owner of RockLove Jewelry
Age:
24
Location:
NYC
Your style icon:
Some sort of mix between Bettie Page and Joan Jett — my mullet is tucked away!
What inspired your outfit?
Was going for a classy rockabilly Pocahontas look since I was going to a swanky restaurant for dinner after Molly Crabapple’s graphic novel Scarlett Takes Manhattan release party.
Currently obsessed with:
Headwraps — this one was made by a stylist friend Emma from a t-shirt sleeve.
Most recent fashion disaster perpetrated:
It wasn’t a bad fashion decision, but it was certainly a disaster — the original highlight of this outfit was a pair of deliciously tacky IronFist Zombie stilettos, until three blocks from home the heel snapped right off. Hailed a cab, limping on one five-incher through traffic, people honking and yelling, me waving my broken heel shouting apologies. I got home, switched pumps and accidentally left my headphones in the taxi… but the good news is, the shoe designer is sending a free new pair and the driver generously left my earbuds in my mailbox. He didn’t even charge me — said it made for a great story.
