My doctor was like, “Ella, this is crazy. I wear a hard-cast orthopedic brace whenever I knit. When you get even a quarter of the way, you’re like, Oh, there’s like 5,000 more rows to do, and they’re all like 200 stitches long.Ĭ.P.: Do you have the early stages of carpal tunnel?Į.E.: I already have full-on tendonitis. When I first started, I’d be like, I’m going to knit a huge blanket and give it to everyone. But I don’t really want to go find something, so I knit myself a pair of basketball shorts.Į.E.: Couple hours. But obviously I do need to be somewhat commercial, so I need to be shopping new.Į.E.: Recently I was like, I really want a pair of basketball shorts right now. I like shopping vintage and secondhand - you can find amazing deals, and I want to feel like myself, which means standing out a little bit. My mom eventually was like, “You need to give them to Laura.” She had to wear them and I was so very jealous of her. Those boots had been too small on me for months, but I was going to make it work. My sister’s 13 months younger than me, so I would always outgrow a piece of clothing and immediately have to hand it down to her.


They make adult clothing and it’s really cute.Į.E.: I bought so much Oilily on Poshmark.Ĭ.P.: My oxblood patent-leather obsession is, in part, because my favorite pair of shoes when I was 5 years old - my favorite pair of shoes I’ve ever owned - were a pair of patent-leather oxblood ankle boots. And Ella and I recently went down the rabbit hole: We’re like, Oh my God. I love it now.Ĭ.P.: My boyfriend’s mom was obsessed with Oilily for him when he was little. And then hoodies, which is obviously very much what I’m doing now. And I mostly referenced my outfits as a kid ’cause I only wore skirts with sweatpants underneath. It’s only …Į.E.: No, it’s ’60s children’s JCPenney patterns. But if I saw them on Instagram, it probably wouldn’t be happening.Į.E.: I’m a big Pinterest-er. I’m definitely going to look up those earrings. If Fiffany is wearing something, she’ll put me onto a brand. I’ll be inspired by my friends in real life.

And it really took me back to my obsession with Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Blade, and all these ’90s vampire movies and TV shows.ĭ.I.: So nobody really looks at social media for inspiration?Ĭ.P.: I won’t be inspired by my friend’s Instagrams. During the Priscavera show this Fashion Week, there was this red patent leather or latex-y oxblood dress.

I also look at Poshmark and I’ll just go down these rabbit holes and discover these brands. Our group invited a few quick stares from passersby, but when two young teens seated behind us began whispering to one another, and eventually ceased talking altogether to eavesdrop on our conversation about clothing, clout, and amusement, everything clicked: Perhaps the real measure of influence has nothing to do with having a blue check or thousands of followers after all, but rather how teenage girls react in your presence.ĭ.I.: Where do you get your fashion inspiration from?Ĭ.P.: Honestly, films that I watched when I was younger. Here, this group of multi-hyphenate creators - models, influencers, designers, podcast hosts, and stylists with varying but significant online followings (the modern-day qualifier for an “It” girl) - gathered at Pause Café in the Lower East Side during the Sunday-brunch rush. On the occasion of the New York Magazine’s Yesteryear issue devoted to the New York “It” girl, we gathered a handful of present-day women about town who we think have “It” - Clara Perlmutter, better known as tinyjewishgirl online, and her friends Ella Emhoff, Fiffany Luu, Pierrah Hilaire, and Noor Elkhaldi - for a group chat come to life.
