What is LOOKBOOK.nu?
LOOKBOOK.nu is the largest online community dedicated to showcasing member-uploaded “street style” photography. Also known as “LB” or simply “lookbook,” LOOKBOOK.nu is both a utility that allows members to document their evolving style & a collective gallery from which “lookbookers” and non-members can draw daily fashion inspiration. The most inspiring looks of the moment—as determined by community “hypes”—are displayed on the “Hot” page, while the most recent looks posted by reputable LB members are published to the “New” page. Founded in 2008, LOOKBOOK.nu was created to bring together creative, interesting, and openminded fashion enthusiasts, and to democratically recognize the talents of real people around the world. In a sense, LOOKBOOK.nu is the world’s first, truly editorless fashion magazine.

“
I am inspired every day when I witness a confident person walk by, with their head held high, owning what they’re wearing.
LOOKBOOK: Tell us a little bit about yourself and where you live. ADAM: My name is Adam Michael Gallagher. I’m 20 years young, a libra obsessed with fashion & styling and living in Riverside, California. I went to school last year at my community college and it just wasn’t fit for me. So now I’m currently involved in a fashion internship in Los Angeles hoping it’ll take me further into the industry! I want to be the next Rachel Zoe okay! LOOKBOOK: What are your passions? ADAM: Growing up, I was exposed to many fields of art so I have a variety of passions. First and foremost, I love fashion and clothes. I also enjoy photography, modeling, singing, dancing, musical theatre, playing the piano, and sign language interpretation! (Oh and can eating food be a passion?) LOOKBOOK: How did you first get interested in fashion and why is it important to you? ADAM: It’s a pretty funny story actually. When I was younger I was such a little brat. If my outfit didn’t match or appeal to me in the way I wanted it to with my hair and shoes, I refused to leave the house. I think I even got grounded a few times because I didn’t have anything to wear. Apparently, that’s not acceptable for an 8 year old. So ever since then, I think fashion has come naturally. Throughout high school everyone knew me as the “fashion-y” kid and I got made fun of a lot, but I kept marching to the beat of my own drum. You have to stay true to yourself. “Those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.” LOOKBOOK: What’s the fashion scene like in your area? ADAM: On my end of California
”
(Southern, below Los Angeles) we have a style called “bro” that is a cross between a skater and heavy metal dude for the men (very popular) and for the girls, they just dress in tight low jeans, tight high shirts that expose their stomachs. Frankly, I find it ridiculous…but on the flip side, we have the beach look which is fun and laid-back. That’s why I’m hoping I’ll move to Los Angeles because the style there is so diverse and eclectic. LOOKBOOK: Your top 3 places to visit in the US: ADAM: New York—there’s no other place like it. You step onto the streets of Broadway and Times Square and you get this feeling that is so exhilarating. Los Angeles—eclectic, professional, fun, and you may see some celebrities. ;) San Fransisco—Even though I have yet to visit San Fran I heard it’s the place to be. Very indie and hippie-ish. PEACE! LOOKBOOK: Describe your personal style and its influences / inspiration. ADAM: I don’t really have a set style per say, I just wear what I want, when I want. I have my moods. This summer I somehow managed to balance nautical, with rock, & with hipster. I don’t know! I guess I’m all over the place, but it’s fun to dabble in different styles. Why not? you live once. As for inspirations, there isn’t one particular person or persons that make me want to jump up and down. I am inspired every day when I witness a confident person walk by, with their head held high, owning what they’re wearing. It’s people who can be comfortable in their own skin who inspire me to be unique, original and comfortable in mine. LOOKBOOK: Favorite designers and places to shop?
LOOKBOOK: A fashion rule you always break: ADAM: All the rules are out the window! A fashion rule you never break: Well, like I said, I don’t really believe in rules, but if you’re gonna wear stripes, don’t mix vertical and horizontal together. That’s a hot geometric mess. LOOKBOOK: What do you think is the most recent notable trend to appear/ reappear, and what are your thoughts on it? ADAM: Jean shorts = for the win. Such an amazing summer piece that every girl needs in her closet. High waisted is a plus! Stud them! Work them! They’re amazing. LOOKBOOK: What is the most underrated item in menswear and womenswear? ADAM: Hats for men! What ever happened to the good old days in the 20’s where every husband had a pole full of fedoras hanging? As for women, I’d say promise rings. LOOKBOOK: What is your next “must have” purchase? ADAM: I have to get new pants. Pronto. Considering I got bored one day this summer and cut all my pants into shorts, I think I need to gear up for winter season! I’m really craving a good pair of light wash tight jeans, as well as business trousers, khaki, navy etc. LOOKBOOK: Are there any fashion icons or famo us people whose style you admire? ADAM: Like i said before, I really get inspired by people who know who they are and don’t let any one else bring them down. I love the feeling I get when I witness a woman, walking in her boyfriend jeans, baggy button up, coffee and bag hopping on the bus! So care free and beautiful! That’s what fashion is to me. Creative self expression. As for celebrities there are a few legends i admire, such as Andy Warhol. Classic color blocking, patterns and glasses. What a character! So comfortable. Also, the king of pop himself, Michael Jackson, I’ve never heard of anyone else who threw on a glittery sequin military jacket just for a press release! LOOKBOOK: What’s on your iPod / bookshelf / DVD player at the moment? ADAM: Currently my iPod is flooding
ADAM: My favorite popular designers would have to be Chloé, Chanel, & Mcqueen. Of course, I’m a starving artist (tiny exaggeration) so I lean towards places like Urban Outfitters, H&M, AllSaints, Topman, thrift shops, etc. LOOKBOOK: The first thing you look at in another person’s outfit is: ADAM: Usually their accessories. Sure anyone can put on a nice shirt & some pants but it’s that Rolex watch or pair of sunglasses that give your whole look an attitude and confidence. Same with women—I love to see bags, jewelry accents and coffee cups ;) LOOKBOOK: What do you skimp on? ADAM: I’d have to say shoes. It’s sad I know! Because I wish i could have all those amazing suede oxfords, and Sperry’s and sandals but nope! I’m not spending that much for clogs. Sorry elves. LOOKBOOK: What do you splurge on? ADAM: Definitely bags. I’ve said many times that if I was a god, I would be Hermes because I could have countless messenger bags.

with Robyn’s new Body talk albums. As well as La Roux, The Rocket Summer, Phoenix, and Katy Perry! My bookshelf presently contains all Harry Potter editions, Twilight, Series of Unfortunate events, The City of Ember, and a huge stack of magazines. :) LOOKBOOK: What can’t you live without? ADAM: Emotionally? My mom. She’s my rock. I love her. Materialistically? My iPhone, my chapstick, and my clothes. Next place you want to travel to: I would love to visit Europe. Shop! Sightsee! Galleries! Museums! I’m getting antsy just thinking about how much fun it would be. Gotta save up my money! LOOKBOOK: What is your personal favorite outfit on LOOKBOOK.nu by you, and by another member? ADAM: my personal favorite look is Coffee & Novels and my favorite look by another, would have to be by the AMAZING Stefany Alves entitled THE NEXT TIME AROUND!. Stefany is such a genius. She’s perfects the whole “messy pretty” vibe. I’m pretty sure she invented it. Those shorts with that see-through top and glasses just say “Yeah…so what?” AND I LOVE IT! LOOKBOOK: In the year 2015 you will be: ADAM: Wow, just hearing that year made me cringe! I hate getting older. I would hope that I’m in a stable position working for a fashion styling company or even on my way towards owning my own styling business and dressing some well known names in the industry! fingers crossed! Oh, and I want to be in my own apartment with a cat… yup. LOOKBOOK: What would you say to someone seeking general fashion advice? ADAM: Be yourself. Nobody is better qualified. LOOKBOOK: Do you have vivid dreams? If so, what was your latest? ADAM: I’m so happy I got this question. I read her interview and was intrigued by this. As a matter of fact, I do! I dream quite often about real life things in unrealistic situations, like a movie! There’s always my random people and I, and we have to beat obstacles, and there are dragons, fire and
