ARI FITZ
“Be and feel unapologetically sexy at all times,” is probably the coolest-sounding advice we’ve ever heard, and it’s a motto that Ari Fitz appears to live by. A native of the San Francisco Bay Area, this multi-talented fashion blogger, creative director and YouTube sensation is often cited for her style-focused web series, TOMBOYISH. Through her YouTube channel (youtube.com/user/itsarifitz), thousands of followers watch Fitz as she travels the globe being fashionably tomboyish. They also flock to see her weekly fashion films and documentaries, and follow her carefully curated Instagram accounts. She’s been featured on MTV as well as in NYLON, Buzzfeed, The Huffington Post, i-D Magazine and many other media outlets, as she inspires other young people like herself in the quest for an inventive, innovative, ambiguous, androgynous or simply unconventional approach to fashion. “Every day I read a new message from someone following TOMBOYISH that explains how I’ve made them feel confident, sexy and okay with who they are,” she says. “If that isn’t the best feeling in the world, I don’t know what is.” –SLO
