Putting together the right outfit took just as long as rehearsing for Iva\u2019s performance at the Erasmus Pavilion. Her daily outfits aren\u2019t much different from the Avril Lavigne costume she\u2019s wearing for the occasion.<\/p>\n

Still full of adrenaline from her performance, Iva says she's wearing \u2018everything together\u2019. \u201cBecause that\u2019s what Avril does in the video clip.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Iva (22) is still buzzing with adrenaline from the performance she just gave. At the Open Stage Night in the Erasmus Pavilion, she sang Girlfriend<\/em> by Avril Lavigne, accompanied live by three friends. She\u2019s wearing heels with striped knee-high socks over fishnet tights, with nude tights underneath to stay warm. \u201cI just wanted to throw everything together, because that\u2019s what Avril does in the music video. Fishnets, stripes, pink\u201d, Iva says in a high, excited voice.<\/p>\n

As a child, she loved the song and Avril\u2019s look. When she first heard it, she didn\u2019t yet realise it was about a boy who already had a girlfriend. Now, she laughs about it. \u201cShe\u2019s so energetic and such a girlboss, she just goes for whoever she wants. I\u2019m not really like that, but it\u2019s so much fun to play with.\u201d<\/p>\n

It took Iva an hour and a half to put the outfit together \u2013 the same amount of time as the rehearsal for her performance. Finding the right top was the biggest challenge. It had to be pink, but also have the right silhouette. \u201cIn the end, I tucked it in to make it shorter.\u201d Fashion has been a hobby for Iva ever since she was a little girl in Bulgaria. \u201cWhen I get dressed, it feels like I\u2019ve done something for myself. That makes me happy\u201d, she explains.<\/p>\n

Her everyday outfits aren\u2019t much different from her Avril Lavigne costume. She loves bright colours, short skirts, and eyeliner. \u201cIf I wear only black or white for too long, I get bored. I like to mix it up!\u201d, she says. She\u2019s always in the mood for bold fashion choices, whether she\u2019s tackling statistics in her master\u2019s in Clinical Psychology or singing along at a jam session with the music society. The best thing is when she meets others with the same colourful, extravagant energy. Her advice: \u201cLife is short \u2013 wear all the beautiful clothes you have, no matter the occasion. Why wouldn\u2019t you want to feel pretty?\u201d<\/p>\n\t

What\u2019s the best compliment you\u2019ve ever received?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cOne time, a girl looked at me closely and then said, \u2018You\u2019re everything!\u2019 I don\u2019t even remember what I was wearing, but I do remember how good it felt. It was a genuine appreciation of the look. It felt great \u2013 I felt beautiful and powerful.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t
