She’s Got Style

Jennifer Silverman, a junior at the Laboratory Institute of
Merchandising in Manhattan, NY scores straight A’s in the
science of style. A native of Louisville, the 20-year-old works
as an assistant agency director for Alix Adams Modeling
Agency while enjoying the perks of attending school in the
epicenter of couture fashion.
“My school is located between Madison and Fifth Avenue,
so I spend my time shopping between classes.”  

Where She Buys Her Clothes: Chanel, Burberry, Dior and
Daffy’s. “Burberry is known for their plaid. Their clothes are
very classic but very current and I tend to like the classics
very much.” She adds, “Daffy’s get a lot of their pieces from
Italy. Their merchandise comes in a wide assortment and
they have very hard-to-find lines that are well made but
have a twist to them. It is always fun to shop there because
you never know what you may find.”

Favorite Shoe Jennifer is a shoe zealot. “I have them
separated by season.” Here’s a short list of shoe styles she
owns: wedges, pumps, open-toe sandals, espadrilles, and
boots of varying heel heights. “My favorite shoe is my knee-
length, pointy-toe Gucci boots. They are black velvet and
they have the Gucci insignia, which is embossed in velvet,
all over. The heels are gold, so when you are walking you
see a little glimmer of light.”

Must-Have Pieces “I most enjoy a classic, glamorous
aesthetic look. A cinched waist, pencil skirts, structured
jackets and wide-leg pants are some of my favorites. Black
is my go-to color, but I am rarely opposed to a punch of
something brighter.”

Her Most Treasured Item “My Givenchy gown (pictured
above).   I found it in Daffy’s.”

How She Defines Style “I think it really accomplishes
different objectives for different people. It can be used as a
tool to express emotion and it functions as something that
defines us in some way.”
