Get to Know a Sway Dude: Ian

Ian has been working at our SwayChic.com Headquarters for almost a year.  He is the man who answers the phone, keeps our customers happy, packs your orders, and maintains our site.

He is also really good at changing light bulbs and bringing a peaceful vibe to our office with his relaxed and cool demeanor.  When he is not answering your phone calls and being more polite than most humans, he likes to spend his spare time making his own clothes and exploring his new hometown of Los Angeles.

"Hey dudes!  I'm Ian!"

Ian is here to answer your questions and mine:

What is your sign?

Libra....remember that Zima commercial? Possibly the only Zima commercial? Wait for it...

What are some trends you are looking forward to seeing girls wearing this summer?

I'm really excited about super saturated brights in creative combinations and loud loud prints: total visual assault. Kickass one-piece bathing suits. Booty shorts/cutoffs (who isn't?). 

90's throwback, duh. Lots of denim, lots of high-waisted, lots of crop tops, lots of chunky heels (double bonus because I'm tall), some studs, some leather, some acid wash, some neon, some big beautiful hair (finally fully moving past ombré).  Also bodycon dresses.

What is your favorite item up on the site now?

The Acid Wash Denim are really rad. Carolina (the model) really nailed that set. 

What do you like most about working for Swaychic.com?

Learning! Seeing the progression of LA fashion up-close. Learning about all the variation in style. Walking through the garment district. Learning the back-end process of the fashion industry. Getting inspired to work on my own clothes. 

If you were a childhood toy, what would you be? - Jazmena via Instagram

Michelangelo TMNT action figure with a grocery bag parachute or 2 tied to my back. Maybe a Super Soaker 50 when it starts to get really hot. 

Why do you have such pretty hair? - Halle Bee via Facebook

I don't wash it very often.. Also Modem Salon in Silverlake! Also my parents. Also possibly eating a shitload of cookies and milk all the time.

When was the last time you shaved your beard?  - Amy Singh via Facebook

Like with a razor? A long time. Years. Clippers are essential. It got pretty over-the-top a few months ago. I trimmed it real short a week or two ago though. The big beard doesn't really fly in LA. 

Will you marry me? - catchingdreamswithcemre via Instagram

Hmmm... Sure.  Meet you in Vegas.  I'll be wearing an Elvis Costume somewhere on the strip.
