"We&amp;#x27;ve told you which spring trends are worth investing in and offered up tons of options for you to purchase, and in this new series we&amp;#x27;ve asked industry insiders to take a specific trend and interpret it their own way. We&amp;#x27;ve tackled menswear-inspired blazers, stripes, and now we&amp;#x27;re talking black and white. Meet Idyl and Ayaan Mohallim, twin owners and designers of the fashion line Mataano. Idyl: Describe your style: Effortless chic. What was the inspiration behind your look? I wanted to mix high and low pieces. Taking a graphic Joe Fresh sweater, layering an organza blouse under it, and then pairing with a Mataano leather skirt achieves that. The overall look is a little bit lady, a little bit rock &amp;amp;#8216;n&amp;amp;#8217; roll. What&amp;#x27;s your favorite fashion trend ever? The little black dress. It&amp;amp;#8217;s an effortless, ageless, and timeless trend. Who is your style icon? Diane Kruger. She takes risks, she&amp;#x27;s on trend, and she always looks chic. What is your secret style weapon? A statement necklace that can transform any outfit. Tell us the best style advice you&amp;#x27;ve ever received: Always dress for your body type. Ayaan: Describe your style: Classic, with a New York City edge. What was the inspiration behind your look? I was going for a minimalist &amp;#x27;90s look but wanted to keep it modern and classy, so I wore a lace midriff top with a sheer organza top over it and white Joe Fresh jeans. What&amp;#x27;s your favorite fashion trend ever? Skinny jeans. I can dress them up or down, and they complement my body. Who is your style icon? The fictional Carrie Bradshaw. She is a trendsetter and risk taker who epitomized New York City edge. Tell us the best style advice you&amp;#x27;ve ever received: Sexy is always best when it&amp;#x27;s understated. Love the way the girls styled their black-and-white Joe Fresh pieces? Pick up Ayaan&amp;#x27;s white jeans here and other black-and-white tops similar to Idyl&amp;#x27;s here.
