Style Scout: Zach Mandell
Name: Zach Mandell
Age: 18
Hometown: Lawrence
Occupation: I’m studying nursing.
Dream job: Probably just working in some E.R. somewhere!
What were you doing when scouted? Shopping at Wild Man Vintage.
Describe your style: I guess I don’t have a particular style, but I like to go kind of monochromatic — but not like wearing a jumpsuit. It’s just like matching T-shirts and shirts together.
Fashion trends you love: I like that corduroys are in right now!
Fashion trends you hate: Yoga pants! I understand it’s supposed to be comfortable, but you can wear (regular) pants (occasionally).
Fashion influences: I’m just kind of a scavenger when it comes to ideas. I love to people watch. What would you like to see more or less of in Lawrence? I love Lawrence because of the whole art and music scene. We should keep downtown like it is.
Tattoos or piercings: None
Whom do people say you look like? Since high school, I always get that I look like Leonardo DiCaprio or sometimes Jack Nicholson.
What type of music do you like? I like rap, hip-hop, indie rock and classical music. It depends on my mood. I just started a band in Emporia called Misleading To All. It’s a temporary name. We’ve only played one open mic.
Tell us a secret: Recently, I tried chicken waffles at IHOP in Emporia and realized that I like to put ranch dressing on my waffles because it makes them tangy!
