By Amelie Zosa

Published September 22nd


Aliyah Borskiy, along with being an adored member of the Hilltopper staff, is a chic and original fashion icon. As we begin the new school year, I look forward to seeing her outfits every day!


What are some of your favorite hairstyles?

I would say I love a slicked back ponytail and a classic 90’s blowout.


Very cool. What about your favorite stores?

I would say Brandy Melville, PacSun, and Urban Outfitters.


Do you prefer to dress up or dress casual?

I’m more of a dress casual gal but I do love to dress up once in a while.


Don’t we all? Sneakers with a dress: yes or no?

YES!

Love the enthusiasm. Low rise or high rise?

On me high rise. I love the low rise style, just not on me.


I so get that. I love low rise in theory, but I’ve yet to find a pair that fits me. What are your favorite color palettes to wear? 

I like the pink and blue tones. I feel like they really make my blonde pop.

And you look great. Gold or silver jewelry? 

Gold.


I could’ve guessed. How has your style evolved since you were younger?

I think I’ve actually become a little more girly as I’ve gotten older but overall also definitely not just following the crowd and developing a more personal sense of style.


What is your favorite type of clothing to style? What is your least favorite? 

I have to say a good pair of jeans and I cannot handle turtlenecks: way too awkward.


I know, right? They’re like the try-hards of sweaters. What’s your favorite movie?

Make fun of me but probably Pride and Prejudice and The Notebook.


Oh, I’d never make fun. Did you have a favorite childhood blanket? Stuffed animal? 

Oh my gosh, yes. I had a little Dalmatian puppy named Bubble who I still have today.


That is the cutest name I’ve ever heard. What kind of music have you been listening to lately?

Anything Lana Del Ray and Chase Atlantic.


How very on brand. Thank you so much, Aliyah for an entertaining interview! NHS, stay tuned for more fashionistas this school year, and DM @hilltoppernhs on Instagram to nominate yourself or a friend as a future fashionista!
