Introduce yourself: "My name is Amara and I'm a 17 year old model, photographer, photographer, fashion designer, blogger and your best friend." What would be a typical day in your life?: "My days are always so different that it's hard for me to really answer this question. I think life always provides a whirlwind of unexpected things throughout the day making a typical one very rare."
How would you describe your style?: "I would say that my style is girly, fun, random, dark, edgy... Basically a combination of things that just catch my eye. I love wearing darker colors, and monochromatic color schemes are the majority of what make up my wardrobe."

What are five things that you can't live without?: "Cell phone, camera, computer, pencil/paper, but my number one thing would be my iPod. It's seriously like therapy for me and quite frankly, the only reason I am sane!"
Any favorite designers, brands or trends of the moment?: "A designer that I've been in love with for the past 4+ years is Lanie Alabanza Barcena, the creator of the line Hellz Bellz. I really love the fact that they mix streetwear with pieces that are so feminine - I feel that this creates a nice balance."
Who are you most inspired by?: "People! There are many things that inspire me - From my family, my boyfriend - Who always pushes me to be motivated - Or those people who are already established that I look up to. The simpleness of this question would be people. I mean, the positive and the negative things about people are what helps me learn lessons and decide what I'd like to do and what I wouldn't like to do with my life."
If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?: "I'm sure this is a response that was expected, but it would have to be New York. I feel that living in Los Angeles all of my life makes me want to try something different and New York would be the best place to transition to. I've always been intrigued by how different things are there. For example: Clothing, food and just the overall aspect of life. Plus, you know what they say: 'If you can make it in New York, you can make it anywhere'."What are your favorite places to shop?: "Urban Outfitters, thrift shops, many online stores like ASOS and those sorts of sites, and eBay!"
What's your favorite quote/saying?: "Hope for the best, prepare for the worst, expect nothing and you'll never get hurt."
If you had to listen to one song for the rest of your life, which would it be?: "Damn! Ha, these are the questions that really get me because of the endless amounts of answers I could provide. I mean, I love a variety of genres in music, but the one that probably gets me the most focused and in my element would have to be underground hip-hop. If I had to pick just one song, it would have to be J Dilla's "Won't Do"."
If you could invite three "famous" or "well-known" people to dinner - From the past or present - Who would they be?: "Karl Lagerfeld, Alexander McQueen and Yves Saint Laurent. Man, oh man... What a table that would be! Hopefully by the end of the night, they'd agree to collaborate and make an outfit for me... Free of charge.
To end it all here, what can we expect from you in the future?: "Definitely my clothing line that will come in a few years from now, but more pictures and various projects with people are some of the things I can accomplish at the moment. I will also have my eBay store up and running very soon, so look out for that. Overall, there's just lots more of myself to be seen in the fashion community.
