My Life/ My Hustle: Anna Hovet
A Hustler is defined as: an enterprising person determined to succeed; A "GO"-getter! With that said we introduce our new section entitled: My Life/My Hustle, where we feature rising "GO"-getters making there way against all odds. First up Anna Hovet. What's her hustle? FASHIONAKIRA: I started working at AKIRA in college when they only had 2 stores. I worked for them for almost 3 years learning from them and watching them grow. Gaining knowledge of retail sales, styling, and fashion show coordination has helped me be a well-rounded designer.
Favorite Designer: I have a great amout of respect for Vivienne Westwood. She pulls much of her influence from streetwear and for years her designs have had a sexy and rebellious nature that I love.
Inspiration: Music + Art + People. I constantly surround myself with people who inspire me ascetically, personally, and mentally.

Nom de Guerre Fall/Winter 2009
"It is a punishable act to put to private use knowledge gained in the army. Man can become his own educator, teacher, and in a way, his own creator.…and because it’s all a lie, it’s also the truth. Truth is a lie…In films, lies are dressed up as ideas and shown as truths. That’s my idea of utopia–the only one there is which does not cancel out pre-determined dependence …or the total solidarity by which he, as a living being…He is linked to the social world of which he is a product. In this world where everything is…and continues to be…a relative cause of relatively new effects …the instinct to command others……is a carnivorous, savage instinct. Dedicated to one who truly lives, so to no one, probably."
