Crooklyn Style/Swagger Files(2)

Who are you Fly girl?

I’m Teneille, Fashion Editor for Clutch Magazine, NYSD Girl, member of the Rich Girls Social Club and all around Style Enthusiast!

State your hustle?

Im dedicated to keeping fellow fashionistas up to date on what’s new, hot and not so hot in the world of fashion, bringing you interviews from some of the hottest emerging designers all over the world and making sure those real grinders behind the scenes get their equal spot in the light as well.And I’m also the NYSD Resident DJ.

When did you fall in love with fashion?

I was born in love with fashion! I have a huge family comprised of some of the most creative and enterprising individuals I honestly think I’ll ever meet. Consequently, I grew up around all sorts of designers and naturally developed an interest in the industry. I was always into magazines but around 17 or 18, I actually began to feel what was coming out of a Vogue or Harper’s Bazaar spread. Fashion became art to me. I began to see the beauty in everything from ready-to-wear to avant garde. Everyone’s interpretation is different depending on the angle or perspective you’re looking at it from.Anyone can love fashion but, for me it was more about discovering style that brought my appreciation full circle.

When you step on the scene what's your style?

Running around NYC on a regular day, a v-neck tee in either black or white, worn skinnies, aviator or wayfarer sunnies, killer shoes and an oversized clutch or hobo. On the town, Im a glamour girl. I love contemporary little cocktail dresses with some sort of vintage or contrasting accent like gaudy costume jewelry or a hat and gloves.

Crooklyn fly girls are.....one of a kind. We are all so different!

Crooklyn fly boys are....indescribable! Their swag is mesmerizing!
In my clutch there's........my MAC Revealing Lipglass, Mirror, Phone, Wallet, Business Cards and soft peppermints.

When your stomping through the streets of NY what's blaring out your earphones?

Hmmm, When I’m feeling irresistible or emotional Prince’s Beautiful Ones or Little Red Corvette, creative Kanye West’s “I Wonder”, needing inspiration “What More Can I Say” or “I Did It My Way” by Jay-Z, deep “My Life” by Mary J. Blige and ecstatic “Automatic” by Mickey Factz.

Clutch is for.......everyone who’s missing the connection when they flip through the pages of publications where no one looks like you, understands your interests or can answer the questions you have. Clutch is for the fashionista with more than an addiction to labels but, character, drive and brains!

I rep Crooklyn because..... these streets made me! I got the spirit of a hustler pouring out of my soul! The lessons you learn and the experiences you acquire in Brooklyn prepare for anything that life could possibly bring your way.
