What are you wearing? Raven-Symone Ford
Job: Columbus State student and PNC bank teller
Neighborhood: Groveport
Hometown: East Side
Label your style: Young and trendy
What's your style inspiration?
Rihanna's "Disturbia" video. I love that mode. When she came out, I was like, "That's hot." I liked the whole vibe; I dyed my hair black. I try to take stuff and switch it up.
Where do you like to shop?
Forever 21, sometimes Wet Seal, and I like karmaloop.com; I'm an online shopper.
Do you have a lot of clothes?
Oh yeah. Shopping is a bad habit of mine. I have two little sisters, and they raid my closet. My 16-year-old sister can wear my clothes, and she'll come into my room and say, "Does this look good?" I think she's picking up on it. I wear jeans a lot now that it's cold, and I like to look for different styles - torn, color, splatters.
How did you get into fashion?
When I had my first job, which was at the movies in a mall, and I started getting my own money - I would come home every day with a bag. I'm one of the longest shoppers, though; I take time to look around.
Your first name is tattooed on your wrist. What's the story behind that?
I tell people my name, and they say, "That's not your name," [because of celebrity Raven-Symone of That's So Raven]. I have it tattooed on my wrist now, but they still don't believe me sometimes.
