It’s not likely that Gilbert graphic designer, Promise Tangeman, often goes unnoticed.
Her high fashion magazine spread-meets-rock and roll style — big hair, eclectic pieces and loads of artistic flair — is something of a rarity in these parts. And her creativity reaches beyond her outfit choices.
She runs her own design company, Promise Tangeman Creative, which encompasses company branding, web design, and apparel — to name a few (check out her design work, personal style and things that inspire her on her blog).
She answered a few questions for us about what she wears.
What are you wearing right now? A hounds tooth skirt, a plaid button up, a leather jacket, and leather boots with a zipper, a pair of aviators, and hair in an up-swept whimsical bun.
What was the last item of clothing you bought? A black sequin vest.
What is the item of clothing you most covet at the moment? A really rad pair of harem pants with a perfect cut, perfect fit, and details to drool over.
Give us a childhood memory of you and clothes.When I was 5 years old I had this Alvin And The Chipmunks T-shirt with a big
picture of Alvin on the front. It was the first piece of clothing that I
had an opinion about. I had to wear it almost every day. It finally got
holes and I was no longer able to wear it. Such a disappointment.
Name 5 items every woman should have in her closet.A fashionable computer bagA killer leather jacketAt least one pair of funky, head-turning shoesA multipurpose scarf (belt, hair bow, neck tie, etc.)A graphic tee
Best item you’ve bought used. A great pair of old man’s pants that I recreated into my summer jean shorts.
