INTERVIEW: JUST LA - THE SUICIDE

Fabulous LA! The creator of online-shop http://www.highheelssuicide.com/ and owner of http://www.lafromlasblog.com/!


1.    Hello, LA! Happy to see you in our project! First of all, tell us some about yourself!

My name is LA (pronounced as 'la' or 'el lay', you choose), I'm a 25 years old girl living in Spain right now but planning to move to USA in the near future. Blogger, dog lover and founder of the brand High Heels Suicide.


2.    How did you first get interested in fashion and why it is important?

My grandma was a dressmaker, so I was living between cloths and pins since I was a child, I loved spending the day in her sewing workshop making dresses for my Barbies and obviously it has been a big influence over me. I see the fashion as a way of expression. You can be who you want just playing with clothes.


3.     Do you have models/designers/Fashion houses/fashion bloggers which you like and follow?

I love Erin Wasson, Karl Lagerfeld, Kate Lanphear and Moss, Marc Jacobs and Roberto Cavalli's house. Just a few.

4.     If you get the chance to create your own fashion collection, what would it look like?

It would include tons of cutoffs, leather pants, big platforms for sure and my High Heels Suicide top, of course!

5. On the cover of which magazine would you like to appear?

In Rolling Stones magazine, Vogue would sound like a cliche. I don't see me working in a magazine, actually.

6.    What is involving your basic make-up?

My daily makeup is composed by a light foundation, dark brown eyeshadow, black eyeliner, mascara, some highlighter and a bit of bronzing powder on the cheeks. Definitely MAC and Make Up Forever are my favorite cosmetic brands.

7.    And let’s start with any crazy question! ;D Describe me the breakfast of your dream!

My dream breakfast includes fresh tropical fruit, a large coffee (always coffee, latte or espresso is ok) and stuffed french toasts with Nutella and banana. I'm already salivating! 

       8. If you were asked to write the script for the film, what would it be?

That's a really hard labor! I'm sure it will be a thriller with a passionate love story and stylish girls everywhere. 

9.    I am proud that...

I'm never afraid to do the things that I wanna do.

     10. What is the most important thing: friendship or love? What would you choose?

I think love is more powerful than friendship, but I couldn't choose just one... it's impossible living without both of them.


      11. Is there such a person who inspires you?

I always loved Olsen twins, their style evolution is awesome, so they always were a big inspiration for me; but I can get inspired by everything, blogs, a movie, the street, catwalks... However, my biggest source of inspiration is the music, in fact, I'm always listening my old school CD’s when I'm designing for HHS, it's like a ritual.

12.  Do you like the city where you live? Does in your city live stylish people? And what about your style?

I think Spain is a beautiful country, but honestly it's not the best place to find opportunities for youth, for this reason I would love to come back to USA some day. Spanish people is quite close-minded, in my opinion... but thanks Heaven every time it's more often seeing stylish girls and boys walking through the street. 
I don't have a definite style, I like playing with trends and mixing different styles. I hate total looks, find them quite ridiculous, so I always try to mix trendy pieces with my favorite stuff or vintage pieces to make it more personal. If I had to choose a style would be something like a bohemian rock star; my favorites pieces are denim cutoffs, leather jackets and big platforms, really big.



13.  Compose a playlist of your favorite songs.

Somebody got murdered - The Clash
Bleed American - Jimmy Eat World
Welcome to Paradise - Green Day
Born this way - Lady Gaga
Indestructible - Rancid (this one always cheers me up)


14.  Name 10 strange, funny and interesting things about yourself!

1.    I don't like my complete name;
2.    Nail-biter;
3.    I'm scared of the dark;
4.    I treat my dogs like humans;
5.    Carb addicted;
6.    I don't know telling jokes;
7.    I love cooking, but I'm a really bad cooker;
8.    Can drink five cans of RedBull and sleep like a baby;
9.    When I was a kid I was able to touch my nose with tongue, now, thanks Heaven, I don't.
10.                      I love eating baby food jars (probably more freak than funny or interesting, but you must try it)

     15. Your most unusual, abnormal and interesting action, which you made in your life?

They are yet to come.

16. They say that a picture is worth a thousand words. If you had to choose one picture that best represents you what would it be and why?

Haha, probably, I would draw a round circle with two eyes, a mouth and long hair. I have no idea!

17. Do you have your own life or fashion rules?

Sure! 'Never say never' and if you want to wear it, wear it! Even if it's not appropriate.


18. In the year 2018 you will be...what will be in the future?

I will be having an almond latte in West Hollywood with my fiancé, after celebrate the opening of a new High Heels Suicide store in Rodeo Drive. Dreaming is free, right? 

19. What do you want to say to thousandth public?

Just LA, the suicide ;)


20. Why you "blogg" name is LA? And what about "High Heels Suicide"? Tell us about this shop!

My friends and family call me LA, it's easier to remember (and pronounce) than my real name so when I started the blog I couldn't find a decent title, it was like 'style blah blah' 'fashion blah'... so decided call it simply my blog, "LA's blog".

Oh! High Heels Suicide was born one day during a closet war, I told to my boyfriend that if I could design my own tanks life would be so much easier and  this minor comment made me think about the idea of design anything, so everything started with two tops that were sold out in less than a week, we made five new styles and they also were sold out quickly, so why don't take it seriously? We opened the online store earlier this year (www.highheelssuicide.com)  and now, six months later, we're a solid baby-company that sells all over the world.



21. Maybe you want to wish something to my project? And do you agree to be our project friend? ;D

Oh wish you the best and more in this adventure!! I think all the projects make with passion and dedication sooner or later will be successful. So never give up! Sure, I think we can be good friends!
