Gina Rae Dewolfe’s world revolves around fashion. At 16, experimenting with her dad’s sewing machine, she created a small handbag line that was later sold at hipster boutique Bodega and Newbury Street skate shop Technical, where she now works. She even designed her own dress for her senior prom. Even so, I wouldn’t dare call her a fashionista. The non-blogging (she prefers a scrapbook journal) fashion design student is low-tech, low-maintenance, and detests labels. So what could DeWolfe possibly want with a career in fashion? She says she’s just a real person expressing herself and doing what she loves, and claims that there’s a whole side of the fashion industry that supports people like her. At 19, she’s wellspoken, clearheaded, and extremely hopeful about her future in fashion.
