What is your full name?

Suede Brooks.

Do you have any nicknames?

I used to be called the most random names when I was growing up because no one knew how to pronounce my name!

what youth suede brooks

What do you wonder about the most?

I always wonder about what I’m going to look like/where I’m gonna be in the next 10 years.

What’s been your biggest mistake?

My biggest mistake is not listening to what my parents had to say when I was in middle school because I thought I was always right… turns out PARENTS ARE ALWAYS RIGHT.

What skill/talent do you wish you possessed?

I wish I stayed in ballet for longer! It was my favorite hobby and I did it for 4 years.

If you could live in any time period when would it by and why?

I would live in the 70s or 80s because the style is so cute! And I dress inspired by those decades on the daily.

What’s your dream job?

My dream job is to be Victoria’s Secret Angel! I feel like that is very cliché to say but it has always been one of my dreams since I was 7.

What’s the last thing you created?

The last thing I created is my most recent YouTube video talking about my favorite summer fashion pieces.

Favorite Hobbies?

I love to make YouTube videos, edit and create content for my viewers, biking, and running.

What’s the best piece of advice you’ve received?

The best piece of advice I have received is a quote saying that everything happens for a reason. I try to live by this quote because in the modeling industry it is very competitive and challenging, and your face might not fit for every job but there is always bigger and better things you can do in the future.

Surfers or skaters?

Surfers!!!

Camping or a nice hotel?

Nice hotel lol.

Girl We Adore: Langley Fox Presented by Amuse Society

“If I don’t laugh at my outfit a little bit each morning, I’ll change.” Langley Fox told us this on the roof of the Ace Hotel after the World Premiere of Cluster. She was of course dressed impeccably, with just enough giggle. That night, it was a polka dot dress. Just perfection. And while Langley has…

Kayla Varley left the small town of Bakersfield, California and headed to L.A. at age 17, armed with her self-taught photography skills and a whole lot of angsty ambition.

Girl We Adore: Rikki Barton Inspired by Kate Moss Presented by Amuse Society

This shoot was inspired by the historic shot of Kate Moss reading in the bathtub shot by Sante D’Orazio for Vogue Italia in 1995. And while you need say no more (you had us at Kate Moss), this ode to the icon photographed by Mark Powell caught our eye. The smokey-eyed-but-somehow-adorablely-sexy literati in her underwear…
