Amber Kapas: Collection Inspiration

Amber Kapas Amber Kapas: Collection Inspiration Describe what inspired the look for your collection? Inspiration for the 80s came naturally for me, as this decade has always been a favorite. I grew up loving 80's hair metal, with my parents always playing their favorite artist. My go-to inspiration would be turning on my Joan Jett Pandora station, rocking out for a bit and letting the ideas flow naturally. This collection is inspired not only from music, but a mix of The Breakfast Club and Pretty in Pink meets a Carrie Bradshaw vibe. What piece(s) did you find at Triad Goodwill [...]
