It is like mirror of my emotions and taste. Last time I make a lot of street style sets, it is of the most interesting styles for me.

Interview with Mythical

Today we have interview with Mythical - the winner of Jazz album contest, the girl from USA with  the perfect art style in her sets...
Tell us about yourself
I am just a regular teenager, I guess. I live in the northern US. I can be described as very witty and I love to laugh. I enjoy spending time with my friends and family. My ambitions include mostly art and literature related things. I enjoy biking and playing volleyball. I can spend all day taking pictures, and editing them, reading and drawing. Having ambitions and dreams are what keep me going, and I believe that the possibilities are endless with an open heart. Pursuing the arts is incredibly important to me, and though everyone says kids grow up too fast, I think that greater opportunities lie in store for me when I reach college and the world beyond then. Describe your tastes and sympathies in art, fashion, design
When it comes to the actual physical art pieces I enjoy realism and illustrations. Such as being a fan of Norman Rockwell's work. Also I love impressionism pieces such as Monet and some post- impressionism like Vincent van Gogh and lastly Neo-impressionism, such as Georges-Pierre Seurat. But my favorite modern day artists consist of: Lawrence Yang. Banksy. Greg Craola Simkins. Amy Sol. Jaime Zollars. Aya Kato. MC Escher. and lastly Nanami Cowdroy. Some of these artists works are on polyvore, I have yet to make a set with them though. With fashion my tastes vary from street chic, with tinges of vintage. Also mixes of boho chic and a little indie. I adore Chanel, But I find all styles of dress intriguing as well as all styles of art. When it comes to design I love contemporary/modern design
Which style prevails in your sets?
The art style that prevails in my sets are abstract in some senses with elements of realism.
Do you like to communicate with other artists at the Poly?
Yes, of course! I have made many close friends on polyvore and their view and ideas are always inspiring. Who do you think makes her/his work in a style similar to yours?
I don't think I can name anyone whose style is similar to mine, because every person has such a unique and individual style. The realistic, emotional, nature and surrealistic aspects may be used to describe my sets, but never do my sets lean to just one of those aspects. Mean that it would have to be a combination of members on polvyore. If I were to take parts of poly-peoples styles such as Cinderella412, KATARINA-KAJA, majak, MoonLotus, Diamar21 and ♥Angie♥, maybe my style would emerge?
You can name your favorites on Poly?
  The talent on polyvore is always inspiring and refreshing. I only dream to have the same creative talent various people have on polyvore. Wow there are so many favorites I have, definitely including everyone I listed above. I will never be able to name all of them but some of them consist of: Envisager, Pegitup, Katjuncica, Almasa, Lic3ly, tata janashia, reZZi, mafe96, Lauren*star, Zacarata, Minaplume, ғяeaкy, fashion goddess,☆Rag Doll☆, _ofelia_,♥missjojo♥, Pensive Peacock, HyperHippie™, EatsLoveForBreakfast, iDolly™- Authentic, Latsy , angie1972, Collagr, Dassybella♥, RluvsG, мεεмεгѕ←♥, Xrissa, PiaPia, Taylor Sterling ™, Rosydy, little flower✿, PaisleyBear☺, Ally-wa, ♪ Cecilia ♪, pirate-vampire!! [: , Elle ♪♫, *i <3 jasper and taylor*, The Mum, shakehips_notfists, Carology Eats Danger, ッℓίνε✿ίȶ✿uР✌, WhatTheDuck?, @LeSsiA, *sp*az*ie*, soft grass ☼, ˙·٠•●♥ LadyInkஜ, Camila Rose, Maestro, dynamic superstar™, ❀Amy.Es̫mE❀̫ and I have recently discovered your great works of art!
What do you think about the competition, which has won?
I think the competition was very versatile when it came to the certain styles of jazz and types of jazz you could of explored. I don't enter many competitions, and this one proved especially fun.
You have been interested in this topic?
I did a little jazz dancing when I was younger, and my mom loves jazz. Also last year I studied a little about Blues, and Jazz beginnings as well as the major jazz musicians. From those points, I would say I had been interested in the topic.
Tell us a little about the city. which you live and your work.
  I won't tell you the city name, sorry. But the city is pretty small and truthfully not that exciting. But I do live in the state of Michigan, the Lower Peninsula not the Upper. Michigan isn't as well known for famous things, but it is home to the Cereal City and Motor City. The 'great outdoors' explains Michigan pretty well. Paddling, camping and fishing are pretty popular, and I think Michigan proves a beautiful state, especially when you see the lakes. I don't work, due to the fact that I am a teenager. But I plan to major in Interior Design, Painting or Drawing in college. I usually paint in watercolors, and draw people, most recently I have been focusing on faces. Also, I love writing, and publishing a novel sometime, most likely later in the future, would be a dream come true.
How do you relax? I usually relax by drinking hot green tea, reading and writing poetry. Also listening to musical artists Rachel Yamagata, Ingrid Michaelson and The Hush Sound and some James Morrison.
Your idol is...
My idol is my recent English teacher. Her independence, values and youth are inspiring to me.
What inspires you to create your wonderful works?
I'm always inspired by my fellow poly-pals, my studies and current events, movies, music, literature, and definitely my emotions. My family and values also play a role in the inspiration.
Do you like this blog?
I love the idea of it being 'unofficial.' The many different types and styles displayed in sets posted on this blog make it versatile, it's great!
Thank you so much!

Interview with Egatta♥

Today we take an interview with Egatta - a talented young architect and designer from Russia. Her style is characterized by mixing elements of floral and geometric shapes, pastel shades and bright colors, art and fashion ...
Tell me about yourself - work and rest.
I live in Moscow, in the city with their own soul, crazy rhythm and with beautiful historical and modern places and museums. I’m an architect and interior designer, I love my work; I love to know my clients are happy living in apartment that I designed. I always try to understand what people need to realize, their wishes and help to realize it through planning or style, color or may be almost invisible thing.
I’m an energetic persona, I love to rest doing something different from my main work, it can be something very interesting for me, usually it’s painting, designing special things – clothes, advertising posters, and the main between my additional works is jewelry & accessories design. Now I feel that the last one can involve me deeply in this subject and it can be my main work in future.
I love travel, I love to go somewhere for change atmosphere, to feel something new and turn home with new ideas. But I don’t like be a”mattress” on a beach, I like moving and looking for interesting things.
Generally I like to do all I can now, not to put off. And it’s better to try then all life sorry about not trying. I love the motto “who wants searches for the possibility, who don’t want searches for the reason”. I like dream, but i like to work on realization of that dream in possible short time too.
Describe your art and fashion senses. What is your style оn Poly and how did you know about it?
For me art is spontaneously expressed feelings and thoughts,
It’s only from my heart, from my feelings. And creative process always keeps my mood optimistic, because through art you can change your day, your life! Just create something that can makes you feel happy!
How I look in that moment, what I wear it’s a reflection what I feel and where I go. If it related with special place or with business of course my dressing should fit this case.
And wherever I go and whatever I do I always wear accessories - necklaces, rings, bracelets, earrings, scarves!may be just one and under my coat but it should be with me! I adore natural stones jewelry; I’m crazy about beautiful precious or semiprecious stones! i’m sure that no one don’t should be afraid to change your style & color preferences, it’s always chance to understand yourself better and also bring into your life a little intrigue ;)
I don’t have special name for my style in Poly, but I like to combine art and fashion. I love to do collages and this site is perfect possibility to use global internet resources for creating interesting compositions. Making any set is like fantasy travelling, firstly it is burn the idea, that little by little turn to clear conception where all things are thought out from style, form, color to meaning and the name. there are no rules there is only realization of dreems and fantasies!
About Polyvore I knew from internet when I was searching nice furniture for making a picture of children room for one of my projects! It’s like a happy destiny that the liked by me picture was in one of the polivorian’s sets
Tell about your favorites in art, music, fashion...so on
I have a lot of favorites in different styles; it’s difficult to choose what to say
I adore impressionists, I adore Italian Renaissance art, I like art nouveau style, classic, there are a lot of eclectic beautiful things. About fashion I adore feminine style with beautiful dresses from classic midi to pretty colorful mini, I adore jeans, shoes are my passion! I prefer light and bright colors or if it’s dark and strong thing I use bright accessories. I usually compose my own style combining things of different brands, and it not depends on price. I have some things in my wardrobe that looks chic, but they were bought or were sewn by my mother in 80’! Also if i couldn’t find something that my imagination show me I design it by myself and sew it with dressmaker.
There are a lot of my favorite designers like Christian Lauboutin, John Galliano, Marc Jacobs, Stella McCartney, Sonya Rykiel etc. And last two years in Moscow grow quantity of Russian fashion designers. I’m surev they will be famous because they are very talented.
Do you have favorites on Poly?
I admire how many very talented people are there! Incredible! There I met a lot of friends and for me more that may be 50% of their sets are not only beautiful collages but really works of art!
It’s like a virtual museum of contemporary arts!there you can choose a set for any style,any taste and any mood!
What is your inspiration for your sets?
I inspired by beautiful things that I see around and by my feelings. And love is a great inspiration!  Love for youself, for your man, for your family, for your friends. This feeling do miracles and direct your mind for creating beautiful things. I love nature at all, and it always inspires me! As I said before I adore natural stones and I feel great power from them.
Do you have polyfriends with a similar style?
i can tell that all people have their own style also if they try to copy someone. Someday I with my friend bought together beautiful jeans the same brand, the same model, but now when we meet only we know that it is)) because we are very different persons and the same clothes looks on us different. So I see in every polyfriend an artist that has his own special appeal.
Do you like this blog?
I like this blog because I love the idea to write and read about interesting facts & things and of course about polivorians. With all my respect & love, Ekaterina Sorokina
Thank you dear!
