• Samia Arthur-Bentil was the picture of summer chic on the catwalk in this patterned minidress. We quizzed the pre-med student on what else she likes to wear.
•  
• Tell us about your outfit.
• This dress by Mara Hoffman is really fun. I wore it with a pair of saddle pumps by Frye, and I got to show off a lovely CC Skye bag too. I felt young and trendy and super comfortable in the dress – it’s something I’d wear to a sunny afternoon garden party. It could work as a club outfit as well, but maybe with slightly lower heels!
•  
• How would you describe your style philosophy?
• I call it urban-chic. It's a mish-mash of different items from different styles. There's hipster and urban-wear in my wardrobe, but also cutesy, girly items – plus a whole lot of black, denim and fun shoes.... Read more

Twenty-year-old Tyler Funk struck a pose for us in a preppy ensemble. We wanted to know how he liked the outfit curated by the Gilt team – and how he dresses himself.

 

Tell us about your outfit.

I’m in a pair of grey Theory slacks, a blue shirt from Billy Reid, and a Psycho Bunny tie. The outfit was fun, but it was my first time wearing such form-fitting pants. I'm not sure Gilt realized I had such an ample backside! But I felt very good in the outfit nonetheless, and now I wish all my outfits were chosen for me.

 

What’s your style philosophy?

It’s hard to pin down. On a good day I'll throw on a custom fit Polo shirt and some jeans, preferably Lucky or AG. I am also a sucker for a nice suit with more of a European fit.... Read more

• We spotted Charlie Melvoin backstage at our Harvard fashion show – and just had to ask the 22-year-old student all about his colorful and comfy fashion sensibility.
•  
• Tell us about the outfit you are wearing.
• I am in a Ted Baker button down, Earnest Sewn jeans, a patterned Bamford & Sons blazer, and light pink Sperry sneakers, all from Gilt. The outfit was a combination of casual and formal – sharp but not overdone – and I felt very comfortable.
•  
• How would you describe your style philosophy?
• Coming from Los Angeles, I'm more of an informal dresser. I prioritize comfort over anything else. For me, comfort equals confidence. Beyond that I'm pretty eclectic: I like to express my individuality, but not so much that it seems like an attempt to attract attention through clothes.... Read more

• We quizzed Sophie Wharton, a cognitive science student who donned a dress for Gilt’s fashion parade, on what she thinks is chic.
•  
• Tell us about your outfit.
• This Badgley Mischka dress is really elegant and simple. I wore it with big crystal Kenneth Jay Lane earrings and a silver Robert Lee Morris cuff bracelet. To balance all that silver out, I carried a crazy hot pink python skin clutch from Shana London. I felt pretty classy in the dress, and the accessories were really fun and girly.
•  
• How would you describe your style philosophy?
• I usually choose clothes that are comfortable and will make me feel sexy. My style is a bit bohemian and funky, but I also try to change things up and not ever be too predictable.... Read more

• Erinn Westbrook was just one of the fabulous models rocking it on the runway for Gilt at a recent event at Harvard University. We asked the American Lit student to tell us more about her "girly glam rockstar" style.
•  
• Tell us about your outfit.
• This adorable strapless green dress is by Ali & Ro; I love the way it is fitted on top and tiered at the bottom. I like pairing girly pieces with something that give my look an edge, so I was glad to be given the black Diesel leather jacket to wear too. The gold D&G cuff was the perfect accessory to go with it all and the Sergio Rossi shoes were killer. I felt very ‘me’ in the outfit.
•  
• How would you describe your style philosophy?
• High-fashion urban. I am girly but with an edge. I love to mix and match and I think your style should reflect how you want to feel. As cliché as it may sound, I really don't like to blend in. I love big designers but I also adore vintage finds, and I put my own spin on what's ‘in.’ ... Read more

•  
• Tell us about your Fashion’s Night Out outfit.
• I love to mix a little luxe with a sweet graphic tee to balance things out. I wore this outfit to the Weardrobe Conference NYC because it made me feel comfortable and confident. I tucked it into my favorite All Saints bubble skirt, belted high on my waist, and finished it all off with a pair of sky-high platform patent-leather Tory Burch sandals, oversize Tom Ford sunglasses and an electric-purple Nooka watch. That little pop of color always makes me feel like my outfit is complete. ... Read more
