Fashion writer Anaa Saber has been on the scene since starting her blog, Our Second Skin, while a student at the Fashion Institute of Technology. What started as a classroom assignment quickly became a full-time career, propelling her to work with brands like Nike and Marc Jacobs. Her style is high-end meets athleisure meets streetwear, all infused with details from her Pakistani heritage. And though her Instagram feed is one giant outfit wishlist, Saber is currently focusing on being a more conscious consumer. Here, she shares how she does it all—with style.
