Devyn Garcia answers the HG20

Your style in a sentence.

I am the girl who has always been inspired by her dad— he’s both a DJ and a surfer with incredible style.

 
HommeGirl hero.

Defifinitely Jill Kortleve.

 
Menswear must.

Menswear must = all the hoodies and sweaters! We’re allguilty of stealing them from our boyfriends.

What’s your go-to uniform?

My go-to uniform consists of a little wide leg jean, a whitetank and a comfy sneaker (usually Vans — my favorite).


Quality you most appreciate or admire in a person.

The quality most important to me is consideration. Itmeans a lot to me that people really take the time to think of others and respect their time/boundaries etc.


Surf or Skate?

Both of course!

Last thing you read.

An article on Ayahuasca, a plant-based drink native to South America that’s celebrated for its psychedelic properties, and how its cultural use has been Westernized.

 

Last thing you did that gave you a real thrill.

Surfing over rocks in El Salvador — it takes your breath away.

 

Beauty Secret.

I think the key to beauty is taking control of your stress. Stress can affect your body in so many different ways so it’s important to pay attention to how you’re feeling and nourish your body and mind.

Hidden Talent.

You’ll be surprised to know I am a pretty good cook!
 

Scary Movie or Rom-com?

Rom-com for sure.
 

Advice you would give your teenage self.

I would tell myself “fuck it,” it’s not going to matter at all later on!

Walk us through your Morning Routine.

I wake up, check my emails and texts while drinking waterand then I walk or bike to hot yoga. I really love to bikearound the city. Afterwards I’ll head back home to showerand start my day!
 

First fashion memory.

Shooting with the legend Cass Bird on an Elle editorial. Iwas nineteen at the time and still a little timid. Cass reallycan make any shoot enjoyable! There’s always a bit of awkwardnesswhen working with new people, but I would saythat’s completely nonexistent when you work with her.

Coffee or Matcha?

Matcha please! Depending on the weather I usually go for an iced matcha with regular milk! If it’s a good smooth matcha you never need sweetener.

Preferred mode of transportation.

Bike or drive my own car.

Current favorite thing to eat.

Currently obsessed with yogurt bowls — I like to top mine with a drizzle of honey, blueberries, strawberries, mango or pineapple depending on what’s available and nuts/granola. And in that order!

One thing you always have in your bag.

I always have Vaseline cocoa butter on me!
