Allison on Jane Birkin, Otis Redding, and wearing whatever you find on the floor

alison for tools of attraction

I like your outfit.
Thanks. I went to bed at six and I have to be at work at nine. This is the first thing that was on top of my laundry basket. This t-shirt was my little brother's and then it ripped and I took it.

So you didn't sleep in that?
Do I have to say if I did or not?

What are some trends you hate these days?

I hate girls who wear really, really short shorts and high heels. They just look like sluts. I mean, come on, are you really trying to attract that type of person? I hate when men wear popped collars. I hate when men wear tighter pants than I do. And I hate when people try too hard. Do what I do: just roll out of bed and wear whatever's on the floor.

What's something that you do like?

A beard.

Who's the sexiest man in the world?
Wow, I don't know. Looks-wise or intellect-wise?

Style-wise.

Patrick Ervell. He's a designer. I just like how he dresses. Kind of preppy with a dark edge twist, I guess.

Why did you come to New York?
I came to New York to party. I'm kidding. I came for school. I go to FIT. I'm studying Fabric Styling, textile design.

If someone told you you had to dress super fancy, what would you wear?

I'd probably end up wearing a vintage dress and flat boots.

Are there any famous style icons you can think of?
Yeah, there are a lot. There's Charlotte Gainsbourg, and Jane Birkin, and oh my god, there's so many. Film noir, seeing the way people used to dress in Godard films.

Let's say you end up at a guy's house, what's something that would make you run away?
If he put on Otis Redding.

What would make you stay?
If he offered me a beer or a joint.

You keep forgetting the most important question - full back or thong?

If the worst thing she can imagine in a dude's apartment is Otis Redding, she hasn't been in enough dudes' apartments.

OMG Allison, bless you, that's adorable. You're so young and cute you can get away with this, not sure about those of us in our 30s!
