Founder & CEO

What is your style?

Understated luxury for day. For evening, I love to channel the Muse of the moment (for my last event I channeled a 1980's Mrs. Herrera!)

What Muse closets do you gravitate towards the most now?

@Whitstreet. The last piece I bought on DoMa was a super chic olive green cowl neck dress by Nomi. I love her mix of pieces. They are filled with character. 

Who would you love to see as DoMa's next Muse?

@Jennymwalton. Her Prada and Miu Miu collection are a dream.

Head of Fashion

What is your style?

My style was heavily influenced by my fashion career and my stylish mom, Gloria. Working for Stefano Pilati for Yves Saint Laurent, I love traditional tailored pieces that have a slight twist to them. Mrs. Carolina Herrera taught me to mix patterns (I rarely wear patterns...stripes count, right?) and have fun with color, but a classic white button down is always a chic go to!

I love our most recent Muse @whitstreet. I relate to her style of effortless California cool, play on proportions and support of emerging designers. Also love hearing her voice by sharing the provenance of her pieces through our newest audio addition to DoMa, Beams!

Who would you love to see as DoMa's next Muse?

I would love to see AAPI Muse's @tokibunbun and @tinaleung from @houseofslay. Having representation on Dora Maar is important to me and for young AAPI viewers to have someone on our platform who they can relate to, by seeing a piece of them in these two women.

Inga

Creative Director

What is your style?

When I put on an outfit I want to communicate comfort, classic sensibility, and creativity. It all depends on what my tasks are for the day. If we are on a shoot all day comfort is important, but at the same time I want to be able to channel creativity mixed with classic pieces. A men's white buttoned up shirt with jeans and fun boots are always a winner. 

What Muse closets do you gravitate towards the most now?

I gravitate towards @edwardbarsamian's closet, always. Timeless pieces from a true fashion insider. 

Who would you love to see as DoMa's next Muse?

As a Norwegian, I crave more Scandinavian Muses at Dora Maar. @Hannelim is someone that I have always admired.

Photographer

What is your style?

My style aesthetic is much less unostentatious than that of my youth, but my approach to style is still rooted in the culture of the LA skateboarding, punk, and street art scene. 

What Muse closets do you gravitate towards the most now?

A Muse I gravitate towards is @lklevison. She has great style and an amazing personality. She carries a lot of clothing from my favorite designers such as Simone Rocha to Raf Simons. 

Who would you love to see as DoMa's next Muse?

I would love to see @stopitrightnow. I've been following her for a minute ever since she started her blog. One of the main reasons how I got into fashion.

Johnny

Merchandising Assistant

What is your style?

One word -- unapologetic. I wear whatever and style however. Some days I dress to be comfortable, other days I dress to impress. To limit myself to just one style diminishes my awe to fashion as a whole. At the end of the day, as long as I feel confident, that's all that matters. 

What Muse closets do you gravitate towards the most now?

@Mrbsalinas curated closet. There's just so much versatility in how his closet pieces can be styles, as well their overall wearability.

Ksenia

Designer

What is your style?

I love to consider fabrics and textures rather than color when putting together an outfit. And nothing beats a well tailored pieces. My mother made her own clothes growing up, so the importance of tailoring to your own body was taught to me early on. Some staples I always find myself gravitating back towards year after year are beautifully structured coats and well crafted boots. I've found that the key to cultivating my personal style has been finding quality pieces that stand the test of trends and time. 

What Muse closets do you gravitate towards the most now?

I'm loving the curated Muse closet of @mrbsalinas. Everything from the whimsical jewels to the many, many beautiful coats and the original shapes and cuts of the clothes keep me coming back for inspiration.

I would love to see @michele.lamy.muse as a Muse.

Sydney

Stylist Assistant

What is your style?

I would describe my style as cool and colorful! I tend to gravitate towards a lot of handmade, one of a kind pieces. I'm a big thrifter but am willing to spend a pretty penny on anything experimental or artistic!

What Muse closets do you gravitate towards the most now?

My new favorite Muse closets have to be @mack_fitzgerald and @lucialitman! They both have such a unique sense of style and a love to support new and upcoming designers. 

Who would you love to see as DoMa's next Muse?

My dream Muse is @devonleecarlson!
