My interest in astrology got out of control about a year ago when a Sagittarius rejected m. I came across a Broadly article titled “Sagittarius: The Preachy Know-It-All Who's Optimistic at All the Wrong Times.” That was all the confirmation bias I needed. I began asking everyone I met to tell me their sun signs. After awhile I started to question why my natural skepticism had suddenly gone out of the window, and discovered that I was using it as a social tool to make sense of why people were the way they were and to make sense of why I was the way that I was. As a costume designer and stylist, I naturally began thinking about how these characteristics might present themselves physically. Astrostyle was born one night when I stayed up until 4:00 thinking about a Zodiac cast and all the costumes I’d put them in. My goal with this project was just to see a contemporary physical manifestation of these personality traits, to see how realistic they could be, and to see if my friends, all of which represent one sun sign, really did dress the way I saw their signs in my head. After all of the research and shopping and more research, I’m happy to say that I’m slowly learning to love Sagittarians again.
