How being Haitian influences Tarah-Lynnβs style: βOftentimes, Haitians are seen in a negative light. From the media, to peers throwing our ethnicity around as if it’s an insult. We’re looked down upon and considered poor and hopeless. However, my Haitian heritage has influenced my style in showcasing to the world just how rich we actually are. Rich in quality, rich in beauty, rich in life. I love colors. I love being vibrant. I love the multidimensionality of being Haitian-American and I illustrate it through my bold fashion sense.β

How Being Haitian Influences Her Style: βGrowing up in Haiti, my mother used to make sure that everywhere me and my sisters went, we were dressed to the nines. We always looked like we were going somewhere important to meet some kind of royal family.Β She was a seamstress and made most of our clothes.Β Our outfits were always diverse. Compared to other kids within our community (i.e.church, in our neighborhood, uniform for school, etc.) what we wore was always somewhat different. I used to hear her tell us all the time that dressing well was a form of good manners. This mentality stayed with me growing up. As I migrated to the U.S., I still show out (almost) everywhere I go.β

How Being Haitian Influences Her Style: β I grew up in a time where being Haitian wasnβt cool and I was constantly bullied for it. Thatβs why today Iβm so passionate about my heritage, and I wear HaΓ―ti on my back. I represent no matter where I go. Being Haitian influences my fashion in many ways. I love buying Haitian-inspired art, clothing pieces, and additionally supporting Haitian business by buying clothing from Haitian designers and boutiques directly in Haiti. Haitians are so artistic and influential. Whenever I go to Haiti, you see art and fashion everywhere from the handmade shoes, to a unique selection in skirts. Itβs so inspiring and beautiful! I think being Haitian nurtures that artistic style side of me and feeds me constantly. Haitians are fly people and weβre constantly pushing boundaries in the fashion world.β

Lisaβs Best Style Tips: βBe free – allow yourself to step out of your comfort-zone. Also, don’t be afraid of working with a stylist. Iβve worked with a stylist last month for one session, and that one session really opened my eyes and empowered me to push boundaries. It wasn’t expensive, either! If you really want to up your style game, find a local stylist who can help “shop your closet,” and create outfits for you. It’s a time and money-saver in the end.β
