'Whenever there's any chance to show my culture and represent it in an unapologetic way, I'll do it.'
Ahead, Cola shares how she uses fashion to take up space and further amplify her voice, what impulse purchase became her signature — and most recognizable — accessory and why she doesn't ask her designer friends for the "hookup.""I love balancing my feminine and masculine sides. Because I'm queer — I'm bisexual — people expect a certain style from you. It's very interesting, to be honest, but I love bold statements.
"My style is just very much myself. I never do anything that I think people would like. I don't really do anything. I don't wear stuff that will make me fit in. It's all about being myself. I've gotten this far in my career by doing nothing but so. I love color. I love, love color. I love just weird stuff — like, unorthodox things. I always try to think outside the box. One of those outfits is the soju set by.
"Just being unapologetic in your style is so key. Just represent that you're unique. I always say, 'Not everyone can write the same book.' Not everyone can wear the same outfit. So, yeah, showing who you are through your expression, whether it be your voice, your art or through your clothes. "I'm literally so guilty of swiping up like at least 20 times a frickin' day. I see so many ads, and the ads know that that's my weakness. If I see a cute anime T-shirt that says something funny, I'll swipe up and buy that and I'll forget that I even bought it because it'll be like 3 a.m. I'm definitely a swiper-upper when it comes to online shopping. Like, they get me. They get me.
