We thought we’d take a moment to introduce you to one of our top stylists here at CUSP Georgetown, Yashua!

Name: Yashua

Sign: Scorpio

At which CUSP boutique do you work, and what’s your position: Georgetown, Stylist.

Hometown: Yonkers, NY

Your favorite model? Naomi Campbell

How do you describe your personal style? Definitely a fusion of styles. I like to combine styles; tailored pants w/ sneakers and a t-shirt. Think: “Urban GQ”!

What are you wearing right now? Menswear shorts, Hermés belt, sneaks, white tank
and a hoodie.

Where do your style inspirations come from? My style inspirations come from everywhere. It could be something I’ve seen on someone or a piece in my closet I haven’t worn in years…I like getting dressed in the shortest amount of time; it’s when I get the most compliments.

Style vs. Fashion. Are they one in the same, or two different ideas? Style vs. fashion…two totally different ideas. Fashion includes the politics of the biz. Style is yours, you own that.

What do you think is the most “MUST of “must haves” at CUSP right now? Anything Elizabeth and James.

When you get dressed to go out, what music do you listen to? My “going out” playlist includes Jay-Z, Notorious B.I.G., Girl Talk, and N.E.R.D.

On a scale of 1-10, how much can a pair of shoes make or break an outfit? Definitely a 10. Shoes can take an outfit from day to night or ruin it all together. It’s funny; I usually start with my footwear.

Your fashion motto? Everything isn’t for everyone.

The hot ticket for this Fall: A killer handbag in a dramatic shade. We fell in love with this 3.1 Phillip Lim ($ 475). The gorgeous ultra-violet color makes the frantic, day-to-night-transition an easy task. Tie a scarf around the handle to give it a daytime chic look; at night, pair this “it” acessory with a little black dress

In any case, pop some color in your wardrobe, and let your style do the talking!

On Thursday, June 19 CUSP Georgetown held a exclusive “Fashion 101″ wardrobing event for Coventry Burke, with proceeds benefiting Labels for Love, an organization dedicated to raising funds and awareness for women’s and children’s charities.

The wardrobing party, an auction prize donated by CUSP as apart of the Spring 2008 District Sample Sale, featured a private fashion presentation on this season’s best looks by our CUSP stylists, as well as delicious ceviche, roast muscovy duck rolls, pecan tarts and champagne.

It’s all good in the hood(ie)! This graphic print Marc by Marc Jacobs zip up hoodie with button detail is our must have of the week ($228). We like it best with an oversized beret by Hat Attack ($45) and some J-Brands ($158) to complete the perfect runnin’ around the town look!
