The Color Block Look on Fifth Avenue:

Transcript

Hi, I'm Jennifer Chan for Typef.com, and welcome to this edition of Style on the Street, New York. Today we're on Fifth Avenue. Ranked as one of the most expensive shopping streets in the entire world, Fifth Avenue is home to swanky designer boutiques and high end department stores like Bergdorf Goodman, Henri Bendel and Saks Fifth Avenue. If you're shopping on Fifth Avenue it's quite clear you take fashion very seriously. We love a woman who can rock not one but two bold colors. We stopped her on the street to learn more of her style secrets. What's your name? Hi my name is Claudia Etikent. And where do you live? I live in Cape Town in South Africa. And describe your personal style. I love to mix and match a bit of color. I wear quite a lot of black as well but off duty I prefer Bohemian, more Boho chic. I love your bright outfit today. Walk us through everything. Where did you get everything from? I am actually here representing the company I work for. It's Malcolm Kulk and Christian Gabernatoi in Cape Town and so I am wearing Kulk's CGDT. Both of this goes from the top of our new collection and then my boots are from Trenori. And what about your accessories, I love your bracelets. A little bit of a mix and match. This is from I think a thrift store in Cape Town, accessorize and this my bosses bought for me in Mexico. Wow, a little bit of everything. And what about your handbag. I just have to carry everything around while we're here for business so just a quick tan, big bag carryall. Perfect. What's your favorite trick for flattering your figure? I love to hide my hips with a skirt or a big dress and often black stockings. And do you have one fashion item that you're obsessed with right now? Uh, it would have to be leather shorts. I love leather shorts, yes. Perfect. And describe your style in three words, chic, Bohemian and sometimes classical. Well you look amazing. Thank you so much. Thank you.
