Carson Eisenhart knows a thing or two about fashion: As editor of Dallas Stylistas, fashion blogger of For the Love of Louboutin and employee of every girl’s dream shoe company—Christian Louboutin— we couldn’t think of a better person to have as this week’s campus celeb. Our favorite fashionista and shoe guru took a few minutes out of his stylish schedule to answer our Qs—here’s what he said!
How would you describe your style?
Upscale sportswear. I live in neutrals, black, camel, white, moss green. I’m constantly moving when I’m at work and I need to be comfortable but I also need to look sartorially relevant; essentially anything that Alexander Wang or Helmut Lang sells I’ll buy.
What was your favorite look from NYC fashion week?
Alexander Wang – which after my last answer surely comes as a huge surprise. Wang has an uncanny ability to know exactly what his customer wants season after season and is able to produce it in a way that is both on trend and capable of being produced for the trend-driven masses; plus his clothes are insanely comfortable and so flattering. Love. Apart from Alex Wang all my favorite shows are always in Paris, and this season has been no exception – Balmain, Givenchy, Stella McCartney and Rick Owens all presented stellar looks I wish I had in my closet right now.
What is your favorite trend for spring?
Oh my gosh peplum! Hands down! Is it the most wearable or versatile trend? I mean not really but when peplum is done right it is always a home run. Stella McCartney and Jil Sander are doing amazing things with peplum and I mean, did you see Michelle Williams at the Oscars in the Vuitton gown? Beyond.
What is one shoe you think every girl should own?
A nude patent platform pump – the best one available is easily the Christian Louboutin Bianca 140mm. Nude is going to take you so much further than a black heel; it will elongate your legs and match with any outfit in your closet. Trust me.
