Your are your own Queen..........

Since We have started posting these, They have lacked a female presences.  So we found a few brilliantly creative young women, asked them a few questions about where they get their inspiration from. These Three Women really enjoy what they, and they are very good at getting their ideas and thoughts across when it comes to their work. 

ART 

Nikoo de Scloctres

How early in your life did you start making art ?

I started almost a year ago. It came from a being heartbroken. Needed to do something and get my pain out in some way so i picked up some charcoal and started sketching. I actually have the pictures on my facebook. One is a self portrait and the other is the guy who broke my heart. 

Who are your influences ?  Lou Ros(Huge influence), Charlie Isoe, Jaybo Monk(LOVE), Jason Shawn Alexander, Best Ever, DOC, and a couple more...mainly the first four in that order  

What's one of your favorite subjects to draw ?


 Women. They are by nature beautiful, sensual, sexy, amazing, and so erotic. They are the ones who make us who we are. They are the ones who create life and nurture us. I love everything about them.
What medium do you mainly use ?  I started with charcoal and oil pastel. I try to keep that in each piece. I mainly use acrylic now but have added aerosol lately as well.
What keeps you up at night ? I have insomnia really bad actually. My mind is constantly moving and coming up with ideas. I do some of my best pieces from 1-6am actually. I turn on my Pandora (Wolf Drawn station and just get going)

How early in your life did you start making art?

I don’t know if you could call it art but I’ve been drawing all over everything for about as long as I can remember. Art in its various forms has been a significant part of my life since I was about 10, but it was only recently that I decided to pursue it as something more than a hobby.

Who are your influences?

Abdelkader Benchamma, Katja Davar, Oleg Dou, Vanna Bowles, Egon Schiele, Yosuke Goda, Andrea Zittel, Ernesto Neto, and Tara Donovan. I’ll leave you with that but the list could go on much longer.

What’s one of your favorite subjects to draw?

Ben Affleck. Just kidding. I really enjoy drawing hands, mainly due to the fact that for about the first 15 years of my life I went completely out of my way to avoid drawing them. All of the figures I drew back then would have their arms clasped awkwardly behind their back. They felt too intimidating a task to attempt at the time but once I conquered my aversion to them they became one of my favorite subjects.

What medium do you mainly use?

Watercolor, pen, and conté.

What keeps you up at night?
My cat, Umeboshi.

What made you want to become a designer ?
Art inspires me. I’m a painter by heart, but I love fashion. Creating
my own line gave me the satisfaction of doing the best of both worlds.
In my own words, I feel like I’m creating sculptures you can live in.
I feel like my clothes are a reflection of my paintings. I usually mix
patterns and add an element of surprise. I’m a believer of mixing
crazy prints together. And honestly there was nothing out there I
wanted to wear or buy, so I decided to make them for myself.

Describe your style in three words

electronic adolescent patterns


What designers are you paying attention to right now ?


I have designers that I've always loved and followed like Eley
Kishimoto, Balenciaga, Marni. But lately I've had my eye on Mary
Kantrantzou, Jean-Charle de Castelbajac, and Martin Margiela (and not
cause of Kanye) .And I've always admired the lesser known brands like
CTRL,Manoush, and the local designers, because I see myself in that
category

Whats kind of garments do you enjoy designing most ? 
Basically hoodies and leggings…which coincidentally is what I’m known
for. I do though like creating that one-of-kind pieces. Usually I
approach it like art, take fabrics and start sewing pieces together
until it becomes something amazing. Those are always fun and
definitely something I can't make again...performance art?! lol
 
What keeps you up at night ?
 
Twitter. My wii "just dance 2". And obsessing over the weather to determine whether if I should wake up early to wash my hair. These curls got to look fresh.
