I have to be honest and say that I don’t have a TikTok account. I know. As editors, we constantly monitor the newest social media platforms and sneaker trends to keep on top of what’s hot. But I knew I couldn’t commit to another social media channel since I already spend too much time tweeting about Euphoria episodes and making mood boards on Instagram. That, of course, did not stop me from running into Carla Rockmore, a TikTok influencer.
See, Rockmore is the epitome of rich-auntie energy meets real-life Carrie Bradshaw for her one million followers, as her Vogue profile from the previous year verified. While some of us spent the early epidemic phases baking bread and organizing our rockmore started making TikToks in his closet. This decision has paid off for her because she has built a fan base for herself by making wacky styling videos in her utterly gorgeous spaces. (You’ll want to drool just looking at her walk-in closet.)
Anyone may post on TikTok, of course, but Rockmore stands out for her unique sense of style and outgoing personality. Who else could pull off a striped Christopher John Rogers knit maxi dress one day and an 80s taffeta skirt and Sex Pistols T-shirt the next? Who else can transform gold Marni knee-high boots into a wardrobe mainstay? We were inspired to interview Rockmore because of her distinctive approach to fashion. Fortunately for us, she complied. You can read on to learn more about Rockmore’s personal style, her views on ageism in the fashion industry, her advice for building a closet you love, and the spring trends she’s most anticipating. Caution: She can send you down a TikTok rabbit hole or lead you to give up.
