Angel Yang

21, student, founder of Secrets Fashion Agency

What are you wearing? Forever 21 jumpsuit, Wild Pair suede heels, H&M shoulder-padded blazer, Banana Republic chunky bib necklace.

Tell us about this look. Urban chic professional. All-black everything with neutral-colored jewelry.

What's your favorite fashiony movie? "Pretty Woman."

If you created a fashion collection, what would be the theme? Secrets.

Sarah Nilsson Dolah

22, student

What are you wearing? Earrings from Indiska in Sweden, borrowed top, H&M leggings, boots from Din Sko in Sweden.

Describe your style: I want to stay close to the trends, but not spend big money. I think every Swede wears at least one H&M garment every day.

How do you put your outfits together? I usually take time to see if things match. But then again, matching can be excessive and boring.

If you created a fashion collection, what would be the theme? Might be kind of dated, but I love leather details.

Max Armstrong

20, au pair from Sweden

What are you wearing? J. Lindeberg T-shirt, Raul Osorio jacket, scarf from Tatters, Cheap Monday chinos and boots from Blacklist Vintage.

Describe your style: I get my inspiration from the streetwear in Sweden.

Tell me about this look: Since it was my friend Raul [Osorio]'s night, I decided to wear a jacket he designed.

What's your favorite fashiony movie? "A Clockwork Orange." Suspenders are underrated.

Naures Sager

23, filmmaker, au pair from Sweden

What are you wearing? All vintage: jacket from Ragstock, pants from Herr Judit in Stockholm, and shoes bought on the streets of Bangkok.

Describe your style: Confident.

Tell us about this look. Shrunken jacket and loose pants, comfortable and simple.

What's your favorite fashiony movie? Charlie Chaplin's "The Circus."
