Venae Jessurun is an all-around joy to be around. From her background in sports to her streetwear and athleisure style, Venae is this week’s So Hot Right Now!

How would you describe your style?

Athletic comfort, if that’s even a genre, but I also like streetwear as well. 

How has being in track influenced your fashion sense? 

The athletic part of it - I’ve never really dressed athletic. Since I have to go to practice and school, it was easier for me. 

What would you consider as your dream job?

To work at Nike or any athletic clothing company. 

If you could change one thing about the fashion industry what would it be?

Probably more comfort. I know that’s where it is going with the trends, but that’s what I love. Sustainability as well because it’s pretty bad. Finding out about how much fabric is thrown away was insane. 

Where are your favorite places to shop? 

Nike, Pretty Little Thing, H&M - more fast fashion places. My favorite jewelry company is off Instagram and it’s Aleyolé. 

What influences your fashion sense...could be favorite artists, sports, etc.? 

Sports and also, honestly, people I see on Instagram and scrolling through the explore page. They give me inspiration. 

What is your favorite item that you own in your closet? 

My grandma’s necklace. I never take it off, and I love it so much.
