Meet Ingrid Fae. She is an alternative creator from Slovakia with a wardrobe that belongs in a vampire castle, but is also a tech lover.

01 Music influences a lot of alternative culture and fashion. Is music an important part of your life? Tell us about your favourite bands/artist or music genre.

Absolutely. My taste has evolved over the years. As a teenager I lived and breathed emo music, then fell deep into folk metal, followed by melodic and romantic metal. These days I'm much less genre-loyal and listen to pretty much anything alternative. If it has atmosphere, emotion, or a darker edge, there's a good chance I'll love it.

02 Is there any song or album you are currently obsessively listening to?

Right now I'm completely obsessed with God Is a Weapon. It's one of those songs that gets stuck in my head and ends up on repeat for days.

03 Zombifit draws a lot from horror, dark culture and the undead. Do you like horror films or literature? Is there any book or film that was your horror gateway?

I love horror, although I probably laugh more than I scream. Horror movies are entertainment for me, but I also appreciate stories that explore the darker side of humanity. The darkness makes fictional worlds feel more real and emotionally impactful. Whether it's supernatural horror, psychological horror, or apocalyptic chaos, I'm always interested if there's enough darkness beneath the surface.

In a zombie apocalypse, I'd rather be watching the chaos from a vampire's perspective.

04 Vampires, werewolves or zombies, and why?

Vampires, without question. If I had to choose, I'd happily become one. Werewolves are a close second because they're wild, powerful, and unapologetically themselves. Zombies, though? They're fun in movies and games, but definitely not something I'd volunteer to be. In a zombie apocalypse, I'd rather be watching the chaos from a vampire's perspective.

05 Are you into videogames? Is there any game you completely disappear into?

My most favorite are Skyrim, BG3, Shadow of the Colossus 🖤

06 Let's talk about alternative fashion, can you name your inspiration or influences?

My early inspiration came from random images I found online long before social media existed. I loved Paramore-era hairstyles, but in my imagination they always came with corsets, fangs, and a vampire castle in the background. I spent a lot of time drawing myself in different styles somewhere between emo kid, medieval tavern wench, and romantic vampire aristocrat.

Growing up, my parents weren't exactly thrilled by my love for black clothing, so I learned to be creative. I wore whatever was closest to the vision in my head, and a lot of it came from thrift stores. Looking back, I'm weirdly happy that I'm finally old enough to dress exactly the way I always wanted.

07 What are your biggest non-fashion inspirations for your look?

Manga was probably my biggest non-fashion influence, especially vampire stories. I still remember being obsessed with Vampire Kisses and honestly, part of me never grew out of it. Beyond that, I love gothic architecture, old castles, dark fantasy, romantic vampires, and anything that feels mysterious, beautiful, and slightly haunted.

A lot of my style comes from the feeling those worlds create rather than from specific fashion trends.

08 When you were choosing which Zombifit pieces to shoot in, what was it about those specific designs that spoke to you?

What I loved most is that Zombifit perfectly combines many of the styles I've always loved. The designs have that dark, alternative aesthetic I naturally gravitate toward, while still being practical and easy to integrate into my everyday wardrobe.

It feels like a blend of all my favorite influences: gothic, alternative, fantasy, and a little bit of horror.

09 How did you get started in alternative modelling/modelling collaborations, and what is the part you like the most about this?

Honestly, I've never really considered myself a model. I'm just someone who enjoys life, interesting places, and wearing clothes that make me happy.

Style doesn't have to fit into a single box. If something makes you feel more like yourself, that's always worth embracing.

11 Do you have an unexpected soft side? An interest or hobby that people get surprised to learn about?

Most people expect my biggest interests to be horror, vampires, gothic fashion, and dark fantasy, but they're usually surprised to learn how much I love technology. As a millennial, I was fascinated by every new gadget that came out. I still remember being excited about new mobile phones and design trends, and the iconic V-shaped phones felt incredibly futuristic at the time.

I've also been interested in programming and computers since I was very young. While my wardrobe looks like it belongs in a vampire castle, I'm just as happy talking about technology, software, and how things work behind the scenes.

12 Tell us about a dream collab, dead or alive.

Honestly, I've been lucky enough to collaborate, or have opportunities to collaborate, with many of my dream brands already. Brands like Killstar, Restyle, Daizbella, Scarlet Darkness, and now Zombifit all represent different parts of the aesthetic I've loved for years.

13 Is there anything else you would like to share with our community?

One thing I've learned is that style doesn't have to fit into a single box. Mine is a mix of emo nostalgia, gothic romance, fantasy, technology, horror movies, and whatever else brings me joy. If something makes you feel more like yourself, that's always worth embracing. 🦇
