MEET THE ARTIST:

Kailah Armand

WHERE DID YOU GROW UP: Chicago, IL.

WHEN DID YOU FIRST BECOME INTERESTED IN SET DESIGN, PROP STYLING, AND ART DIRECTION: Around 15, I was taking photos of friends, building sets, making costumes, and doing the one-man show routine.

WHAT INSPIRES YOU: My dreams, books, nature, and art history. A lot of my inspiration for personal work is drawn from experience and my never-ending obsession with art nouveau artists like Aubrey Beardsley, Gustav Klimt, and Egon Schiele.    

WHAT SONG GETS STUCK IN YOUR HEAD MOST OFTEN: Lately it’s Blood Orange’s - “Gold Teeth” (feat. Project Pat remix).

MY FAVORITE ANIMAL: Frogs are my favorite, and African bull frogs I find the most fascinating.

IF YOU COULD ONLY EAT ONE FOOD FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE, WHAT WOULD IT BE? Cotton candy or egg custard-filled bao - two treats that never get old for me.

WHAT IS THE HARDEST THING YOU'VE EVER DONE: Learn how to drive a stick shift! 

WHEN'S THE LAST TIME YOU LAUGHED SO HARD IT HURT: Watching “ The Other Two”.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE WAY TO UNWIND AFTER A BUSY DAY: As of lately, a bath and Desperate Housewives season 5 is really sedating me.
