WYV: How do you describe your style?
Iliana: It is definitely ’60s and ’70s Bridgette Bardot meets Tongolele in a Russ Meyer Film!
WYV: What inspired your brand/blog/project?
Iliana: I have been a burlesque dancer for almost 10 years. I graduated from fashion design school and beauty school. It’s been a collection of my travels around the world and desire to mix several facets of style from different eras.
WYV: Who are your three StyleCrushes?
Iliana: Bridgette Bardot, Maria Felix, Jayne Mansfield.
WYV: Where do you shop?
Iliana: Locally, I love the selection at Blue Velvet, Frock on Vintage, Bloomers and Frocks. I tend to mix standard clothing (plain jeans, tops, miniskirts) and incorporate them with a beautiful vintage cardigan, dress, or top.
WYV: How do you wear your voice?
Iliana:I wear my voice by picking out my clothing with no reservations or apology about my body. I wear whatever I want to feel, at times it can be very glamours and other times more relaxed. I try to not limit myself by staying with in any specific genre of clothing or style, and make sure to always go out of my comfort zone.
