Get to Know...Erin Wasson

ERIN WASSON
Hey, guys! I'm Erin Wasson, and we are backstage, and it's all happening.

I've always sort of toyed around with jewelry. It's always sort of been my passion and my hobby. Last season, I did the jewelry but it was all sort of just vintage pieces that I had found traveling and whatnot.

I'm just keeping it all on my head for now. One of the girls is going to be wearing the crown of thorns.

I came up with this idea of these body chains that are meant to be worn underneath all the clothing because a lot of the tops are really, really sheer--sort of transparent jersey.

And I thought it would be really interesting to have jewelry on, but it wouldn't be very obvious, and you didn’t really quite know what was going on.

It's not an easy job. And I think it's really hard for all of us to feel, you know, a tight sense of relationship with each other because we're all so busy. Other models sort of know what we go through. They understand the trials and tribulations, and the exhaustion from traveling, the highs and the lows, and dealing with different personalities--it can be intense.

I was lucky enough to meet Alex. I actually moved in to his apartment building about two and a half years ago. And we sort of really appreciate each other's aesthetic. And he asked if I would style his spring show. And I was totally floored because it was nothing that I'd ever thought about embarking upon. I had my plate full with modeling, but I said, “My god! What an incredible, incredible opportunity.” So we worked together last season, and I was lucky enough to get Alex back again this season. We still like sort of freak out about, like, how it happened. It was sort of a match made in heaven.
