HC: What made you get into fashion?

HC: Tell me about Perpetual Stylez:
ZH: Perpetual Stylez is a way to express and share my love for style with others! I came up with name because perpetual is everlasting and I feel that there is no end to style. I originally started out to create a blog, but Perpetual Stylez Instagram page is a better way to connect with people since people are on Instagram 24/7. I do still have Perpetual Stylez website coming soon!
HC: What made you decide to start styling people?
ZH: The main goal that I strive for in life is to help people, in anyway possible. I’ve noticed that some people are not confident enough in the way they dress and it shouldn’t be that way. I wanted to help people see potential in their style, and me styling them would give them the extra push they needed. Everyone has style it just takes the right person to bring it out of them!

HC: What or who influences your style?

HC: In your opinion, what exactly is fashion?
ZH: Fashion is a personal statement that you display to the people around you. Fashion is a form of expression and art. No ones opinion of fashion is the same thing and that’s what makes it so great. It’s telling the world who you are without having to say a single word!
HC: How do you practice time management? Any tips?
ZH: Time management is very important! Although 24 hours may seem like a lot it can slip through your hands quickly. I have to make a checklist on what needs to be done for the day, week or month and I stick to that accordingly! Time is something you can never get back so you have to use it wisely. My tips for time management would be to create a list and stick to that list and don’t deter from it and you’ll be able to accomplish what you planned.
