LETTERFROMTHEEDITOR Welcome to the second annual issue of Street Style. We didn't sit in the front row of Alexander Wang. We're not red–carpet ready, and there are definitely days when we wear the same underwear two days in a row (Nathan Fleetwood, p. 10). We're not Vogue or GQ. And we don't want to be. We're Street Style. That means that when a Kappa Sig freshman walks into the Street office on a Tuesday night to perform a big–little serenade, we make him the Street Style cover model. We know how important it is to not take ourselves too seriously. We have actual fashion for that. We're celebrating the uncelebrated fashion icons of this campus. Everyone has their look, whether that’s a vintage Yves Saint Laurent coat (Gena Basha, p. 19) or a handmade bracelet (Jameel Mohammed, p. 3)—we’re into it, because it’s you. Unless you're Hot Enough for it Not to Matter (p. 11) we all have days where we look and feel like shit. We rock groutfits (p. 16) and define "Penn hot." Nevertheless, you best believe we’ll be runway–ready and enhanced by dry shampoo at our launch party at Smokes on Thursday. So come drink with us to celebrate the style–ish. With love and man buns,

the Pottruck Sauna

STREET ST YLE

COMING OUT OF THE CLOSET

Ali Miller (‘16) Hometown: Boca Raton, Florida

But actually, Street went in and out of Penn's most notable closets. Here they are, in 2D. GIULIA IMHOLTE

Jameel Mohammed (‘17) Hometown: Chicago, Illinois Go–to item: "This bracelet I made this past summer." Style bio: "I’m really into Oxford shirts and American classics, polos and then I wear these combat boots almost every day. Because the whole idea behind my personal style and my design is to take classic styles and add an edge." Favorite shops: "Mostly thrift stores, to be honest. There’s this one shop in my home town, The Economy Shop, that does these sales and that’s a really, really good discount." Fashion Connection: "I’m an aspiring womenswear designer." (Ed. note: Read more about Jameel and his company, Khiry, on page 14.)

Go-–to item: "I have to pick one? I have one favorite sweatshirt (Ed. note: It's a Notorious B.I.G sweatshirt). I wear this sweatshirt all the time. This is from the men’s section of Urban." Style bio: "I would say more simple, mixed with standout pieces. Like basic colors, and then one standout piece, or random things." Inspiration: Céline, Akris, Max Mara, Stella Jean, Dries van Noten, Haider Akerman, for menswear, I really like Ami.

Taylor Brown (‘17) Hometown: McLean, Virginia Go–to item: "Can I do a crazy piece? It’s not my favorite piece, but it’s crazy. I literally don’t know where I’m going to wear it." (See sequin jersey in the photo.) Describe your style: "It’s always changing, honestly. I came to school being very girly. I used to wear bows in my hair, skirts [and] button downs. Definitely from the influence of [Penn], it’s become more black–on–black—a little more minimalistic." Favorite shops: "I online shop like crazy, so ASOS, Forever 21 for cheap stuff that I don’t really want to spend a lot of money on. I like Topshop, Urban Outfitters, Zara—the classic in–between stores." How are you connected to fashion: "So, I work a little bit for the Walk. I do Seen on the Walk because I like photography. Mostly, I just focus on my blog (Immaturely Fashionable), so most of the time I just post things about my outfit. And then the way it gets on Teen Vogue is I submit to them and then they decide whether or not they like the photos enough to put it on their website." Inspiration: "Back when I first started the blog, I wanted to be a fashion journalist. I really liked Marc Jacobs, Chanel, obviously, Alexander Wang. But now, I don’t really follow that many people outside of Alexander Wang. I mostly like fashion blogs. This one called We Wore What. This girl named Danielle Bernstein—she’s my idol. I want her life."

Favorite shops: "Zara. Literally everything I have is Zara, or [from] little boutiques. Some thrift stores or vintage stores. I’m a big sales shopper. I’m not a cyber shopper, I’ve never cyber–shopped in my life. And I like getting stuff from my travels." Fashion connection: "I work for the Walk magazine so I do the female styling for photo shoots. I did the blog photography—so street style. And I worked for a fashion PR firm in London. I’m interested in it, but I don’t have a career goal." Inspiration: "I would say Alexander McQueen because he’s edgy and rockstar–y."

STREET ST YLE

Kiara Honma (‘18) Hometown: Sao Paolo, Brazil

Laura Petro (‘16) Hometown: Galloway, New Jersey

Go–to item: "For accessories, right now, definitely chokers, and actually, disco pants. I have like three pairs." Style bio: "Sometimes kind of weird, but not in a bad way. It’s very street style." Favorite stores: "Online, I like NastyGal and then like Urban, American Apparel, and then I really like thrift shopping. I lived in Tokyo for high school, and there’s really cool thrift shops there." Fashion Connection: "It’s just something that I’m interested in. I want to look into Penn Fashion Collective. I like flipping through magazines." Inspiration: "I like anything Alexander Wang, Marc Jacobs, but that’s just to observe. And just looking through my Tumblr."

Elvire Audi (‘17) Hometown: Paris, France Go–to item: "My leather jacket." Style bio: "I have a rather basic style in the sense that I’m going to always wear jeans and either black boots or sneakers. And then I love wearing really large shirts over crop tops. I don’t I have one particular style. I also dress differently if I am here from if I am at home. If I’m with my parents, I’m not going to be as edgy as I am here—a lot of black, maybe too much black— Like an eased–out version of punk rock." Favorite shops: "Zara, I love. For pieces that are a little more extravagant, I love going to NastyGal. I also try to buy everything on sale. I don’t like paying full price for t–shirts." Fashion connection: "For years I’ve wanted to work in that industry, but I don’t know if its right for me. I don’t know if I’m creative enough for it. I don’t think I have a particularly great style, but I dress for myself and I love doing that. I want to get involved in the Walk next semester." Inspiration: "I love everything that Yves Saint Laurent does. I think it's the best high– end fashion brand in the world. It’s a lot of boyish, classic and gorgeous elegant style— very structured, very easy to wear, but it’s completely out of this world in price. I also like Kenzo. They have a little eclectic, kind of crazy articles of clothing. Fashion icons, I don’t have those. I don’t follow anyone on Instagram. I don’t like getting inspired by people. I like doing that on my own. I will never copy a look. I think that’s impersonal."

Go–to item: "Right now, turtlenecks. It’s like a shirt and a scarf. I’m growing a turtleneck collection. I have like, five." Style bio: "Quirky. It’s important not to take yourself too seriously in style. I’ll wear skirts one day and boyfriend jeans another day. One thing I like is color. I like pairing polished things with unpolished things, like loafers with boyfriend jeans. And also things that are a little shameless. I’ll let my socks stick out of my shoes. I like to have a little fun." Favorite shops: "I don’t really like to go shopping. I more just acquire things, because once you get older, you’re not really growing; you don’t really need clothes. I always say this when people ask me my favorite store and it sounds dumb, but I’m a huge TJ Maxx fan. If you’re willing to sift through the shit, you can honestly find such good stuff. I really like Club Monaco for just staple pieces. I like getting clothes when I travel too, because then you have something unique." Fashion connection: "I’m the Editor–in–Chief of the Walk. My freshman year I started writing for the online edition and worked my way up. My background is more in fashion writing, but obviously now, I’m overseeing everything. And other than that I just follow different blogs and Instagram and stuff." Inspiration: "Reed Krakoff. Stella McCartney has really cool stuff that I admire...This one blog I really love is Man Repeller. Leandra Medine, I really admire her style. It goes with the whole not–taking–yourself–too–seriously thing. Her style is really crazy, so I don't think it’s for the everyday person. My mom is really stylish. I know that’s super dorky, but I feel like she’s had a lot of influence on my style. I also get inspired by the way people around me dress. The other day I saw this girl wearing trousers with Nikes and it was really cute and unexpected. There’s a lot of really cool, stylish people here and in the city so sometimes you can just walk by something and like it."

ST YLE GUIDE

It seems like everyone from Brad Pitt to Jared Leto rocks a topknot these days. Man buns might be resting on the top of the most handsome heads in all of Hollywood, but not everyone agrees they're a positive addition to the campus manscape.

In the words of the illustrious Sir Mix-a-Lot, “my anaconda don’t want none unless you got buns, hon.” I don’t have an anaconda, or a penis, but I do have a strong affinity for buns. Man buns, that is. Historically, the man bun has been a point of contention among women. Some find the bro-knot sexy because of its rugged, devil-may-care je ne sais quois. Others think man buns look greasy and unkempt. “Others” are wrong. “Others” clearly haven’t seen the picture of Kit Harington at the Emmy’s looking sexy as fuck because of the poof of hair tied to his head. From a biological standpoint, it makes sense to be attracted to a man with a bun. Long, luscious hair that's so overwhelmingly thick it has to be tied up in a man bun is clearly a sign of fertility. You know what’s not sexy? Male pattern baldness. You know what guys with manbuns never have? Male pattern baldness. Gender stereotypes are a huge turn off, and the man bun forces us to rethink these preconceived notions. The man bun is so appealing because it simultaneously plays upon our attraction to both the androgynous and the ubermasculine. The man-bun combines the grace of a ballerina with the sex appeal of a lumberjack, all the while telling your preconceived gender notions to fuck off. Our traditional conception of male sex appeal may not include the man bun, but it’s precisely because man buns aren’t the norm that makes the 'do so attractive. Everyone likes a confident boy, and the man bun wearer demonstrates an inherent lack of self-consciousness. The man bun man doesn’t care if you think his jeans are too tight, and he doesn’t worry about whether he’s doing his downward dog right in yoga (he is). He’s just there, rocking his man bun, doing him. And if he wants me to do him too, then so be it.

MIKAELA GILBERT-LURIE

I’m not a fan of man buns. I’m just not into them. I don’t find them attractive. I don’t understand them. Whenever I see a guy with a topknot, a few choice thoughts run through my head: Is this guy just too socially awkward to hold a conversation with his barber? Is his hair so long simply because he’s avoiding a haircut? Yes, I know you’re stuck in a chair and it’s awkward if you don’t keep up the small talk, but it can’t be as bad as your sumo hairdo. Second of all, no guy I know is hygienically aware enough to maintain that amount of hair. Almost every man bun I see is scraggly and unkempt. Am I supposed to find that ruggedly sexy? Because I don’t. Attention men with man buns: There's a difference between rugged, strong, I– rub–dirt–in–my–wounds masculinity and actually being filthy. It’s not a fine line. On the other hand, if the bun looks clean and his hair is luscious, then I’m just as pissed off. A guy is not allowed to have nicer hair than I do. That’s not fair. All it makes me think about is how much time he put into making his hair look that nice. I don’t like boys who put gel in their hair, so I definitely don’t like boys who deep condition. If you spend more time on your hair than I do, you’re just not the one for me. Give me a guy with a deep v, tight jeans, and a coiffed bun, and I’ll give you a guy who spends more time in front of a mirror than is emotionally healthy. FYI: Maintaining the stereotypical attributes of a hipster does not a hipster make. Isn’t that the opposite of what they’re all about? God, stupid hipsters. I understand that guys with man buns want to be accepted for who they are. I accept you, guys with man buns, but I just don’t find you attractive. You can strum an acoustic guitar for me, you can help me buy some camping gear, and you can tell me all about the time you’ve spent in Europe. But if you ask me to borrow a hair tie, it’s all over.

CHEATING THE DRESS CODE

You might know me from my blog, The Preppy Scholar, or from my Instagram, @thelifeofreggiejames (Follow me. It’s art–c). I believe how we go about our lives is an art—from what you hang on your walls, to how you treat those you love. Take these three tips to heart. Or don’t. Either way, I’ll look better than you tomorrow. Look, I get it…dressing up every day is a hassle. Yeah, I run a blog focused around dressing well but who gives a shit? The normal person running around campus doesn’t care if I pulled off the “disheveled Andy Warhol” correctly. At the same time, we all realize that perception is key in every situation. Perception is the difference between Eric Furda and Amy Gutmann: We all know who we would rather drink with. You must be asking: How do I cheat my way to being perceived as a style boss? How do I know this is the question you’re asking? Because after reading this, you’re going to snort an Addy to crank out a paper you should have started two weeks ago. So, here’s the rundown:

1. Key days of the week to look (at minimum) decent

Monday is the day most people look like they just fought a war with weekend partying at Chancellor and lost. Dressing well on Monday is clutch and will help you stand out from the drones shuffling to class on Locust. The next time it’s mandatory to dress well is Friday. It’s the last impression people get before classes reboot on Monday. Think about it like this: The last bite of a steak should be the best (read: how you should dress on Friday). Don’t save the Brussels sprouts for last (read: how you shouldn’t dress on Friday).

2. Upgrade in under five seconds

Guys: Stop wearing t–shirts under sweaters. Upgrade your look by putting a collared shirt under your sweater. The best part is that you don’t even have to iron the shirt because you’ll only see the very top. Also, find a pair of slim fit chinos because most of us don’t understand how jeans should be cut. Girls: Take a minimalist approach to your daily style game. Many girls suffer from what my mom calls “too much–ery.” Strip the look down to its bare bones and choose one piece to matter for the day. For once, we can learn something good from monochromatic Theta girls.

STREET ST YLE

3. Time for a swap

With spring cleaning coming up, here are the items I would seriously recommend replacing. Guys: Ties that your dad stopped wearing in the 80’s but thought that they would be a good starter kit for you. Lose them. You only need about three ties to get you through life. Keep them all skinny (if the fattest part is wider than 4 fingers, it’s a no) and darker hues. Girls: Uggs. I honestly don’t know why they ever came into style, but it’s time to stop holding on to our 7th grade version of cool. How will you fill this gap in your heart? If you feel the need to have a childhood style staple, pick up a pair of white Chuck Taylors. Trust me, they’ll look clean with whatever you’re wearing. REGGIE JAMES

IMPORTANT BEARDS OF PENN

Histortically, beards have been sartorially underrated. Not any more. These campus studs are demonstrating that beards are fun meets functional. They keep faces warm and prove that puberty has been reached. Win win. Ahead: a roundup of Penn’s VIBs. Stephen Masso (Engineering '15)

WHAT TO WEAR AT THE POTTRUCK SAUNA YOUR FACE HERE

Saunas are best enjoyed butt–ass naked, but for better or worse, Pottruck frowns on nudity. Here’s how to compensate. Have a dedicated set of sauna clothing. Heat and steam are known assholes in the world of clothing, mostly because they wreak havoc on elastic, loosen dyes and peel off iron–ons. Even worse, harsh chemicals from laundry detergent, swimming pools and the outside environment, in general, are happy to leach out of your clothes and into your skin under the influence of heat and steam. Pick out some shorts and maybe a shirt you don’t mind ruining and wear them only to the sauna. Wear loose fitting clothing. Tight gym wear might make your ass/guns/quads look great, but in the sauna skin–hugging gear makes an inherently uncomfortable experience even worse. Stick to natural fibers. Most swimsuits are made from synthetic materials, but natural fibers, like cotton, let your skin breathe, which is the whole point of the sauna. And many bikini tops also have metal underwires or other hardware. It seems obvious, but that shit will heat up like a brand and burn the fuck out of your titties. Show some skin. Even though you can’t get naked, you can still maximize the sauna experience by minimizing your clothing. Guys and girls can both benefit from booty shorts (just make sure your ass cheeks don’t touch the bench). And if you must be modest, consider wearing a crop top or a sleeveless shirt. RYAN ZAHALKA

FASHION CALLS I don’t dress for men. I dress for the occasion, my mood, or just, the weather. And so, interning in the Philly heat last summer, I wore dresses and skirts, which warranted attention from, SEPTA riders, party goers, sidewalk walkers. Really, anyone. Because I am a journalist, I made it a habit to write these unwanted comments into a journal. Here they are, organized by hemline, for you to understand— to understand that I didn't wear this for you.

ROSA ESCANDON

“Girl, that’s short. Are you trying to get it in tonight?” – Female friend

“Do you like white guys? Cause I like that ass.” –Another bar

“Damn girl. Uh huh. Yes.” – Walking home from party

“You come from work? Where do you work? I would visit. Make money.” –Septa 3:30pm, upon leaving job “I like that. You seem retro, like 1970’s. Makes your ankles look hot.” –On the street “Damn, you like religious or something? Show some leg though.” –Man at Bar

After a three day arms race of mass voting, Street counted 3,118 votes (jk, Excel did) to deteremine the people who make the fashion statements to remember. Swing by Smokes on Thursday for the Street Style launch party. We’re awarding superlative winners swag from Flywheel to Shake Shack. Yeah, Shake Shack.

Most Runway Ready

If you think she looks like she didn’t even try, then you’d be right. Girl was blessed with good genes and good jeans. Celine always looks like Penn's Next Top Model, even if she thinks she looks like Penn's Next Top Insomniac. This Persian beauty is known for her effortlessly chic style and her down–to–earth personality. If you see her around, she’ll most likely be in black—she likes to keep it simple—and bundled in a thick scarf. She even looks runway–ready in Adidas sneaks and her workout apparel.

Elliot Taylor

Nathan Fleetwood likes his underwear like he likes his whiskey: aged. And he's thrilled for the public recognition. “I may not have won any scholarship, service, or leadership awards during my four years at Penn, but I know that this award will make my mother far more proud and will definitely do more to increase my chances of getting elected to public office later in life," says Nathan. He credits his success to his “superhero– like ability to extract the maximum value out of any piece of underwear” thrown his way.

For Elliot Taylor, gym attire isn't a lazy groutfit. It's a lifestyle. Elliot has mastered the look of Pottruck chic, noting that "it's all about looking like I hit the gym without ever stepping foot in it." He explains his routine, "Every morning after a long bout of self reflection, I open my closet to throw together the ultimate 'Gym, Tan, Laundry' outfit." Elliot describes his daily apparel as "some sweatpants I bursared, an unused frisbee from NSO (I want people to think I do cardio), an American tank top...a headband, and a towel I took from Pottruck...on top of this, walking around"

Caroline Dwyer Manscaping can sometimes be a hairy issue for the boys of our generation. Whether opting to go completely bare or just trimming a little off the sides, it’s not something guys typically like to talk about. But Reid Douty is proud of his pruning. Or at least his friends are proud of it for him. We feel you Reid—it always looks bigger when you trim it back. Just

Comfort and spirit go hand–in– hand for College junior, Caroline Dwyer. This soccer–loving gal from West Chester, PA, lives and breathes Penn gear. Although one might believe that Caroline’s affinity for gym clothing simply stems from a lack of time to wear anything but soccer gear daily, Caroline truly believes that dressing nicely for class is stupid. Instead, she thanks Under Amour and her team’s personal shopper, Emily Perrin, for her fashion taste. After all, why dress up when you can be comfortable and rep your school in the process?

Doug Swift This College senior labels himself as a “a natural entrepreneur, a real estate fanatic, and a model whiz.” Although he's double majoring in econ and European history, he might not have actually taken that many classes in Huntsman. Maybe he wore a suit to an info sesh one time. Or maybe his British accent and post–grad position at JP Morgan just oozes business professional. Regardless, we're sure he'll take corporate America by a firm handshake and extended eye contact, just like he took this superlative.

a Disney princess, he’d be Cruella de Cruella de Vil and Xufu were likely separated at birth: they’re both slim, sassy and covered in dead animal. Xufu's outrageous and gorgeous wardrobe has earned the College sophomore instafame and a casual shout-out in GQ. If you didn't already know Xufu from the international media, you can spot him in monogrammed "Xu Fu" loafers, a spherical neon handbag and, of course, billowing masses of (faux) fur. With his razor-sharp cheekbones and beautiful RBF (Ed. note: resting bitch face), Xufu looks like PETA's most–hated Disney villian, but once you get to know him, you’ll find he’s actually more of a dalmation than a Pongo than a Cruella.

Amaury Normand Daniella Sakhai Brace yourselves, sapiosexuals. For Amaury, it's all in the lens. “Before I had fake glasses, no one took me seriously," the senior recalls. "One day I wore non–prescription glasses and the next day I got seventeen job offers, a personal call from President Obama and a formal invitation to share breakfast with Bill Gates.” Everyone with 20/20 vision, take note. But even with four eyes, Amaury is quite a sight for the eyes.

Daniella Sakhai is a senior in the College hailing from New York City. Daniella keeps herself looking great, while making other aspects of her Adobe Creative Cloud look even better as a Visual Studies major. On campus, Daniella is the creative director of The Walk and a Theta dawg. She’s not quite sure how she manages to stay so runway–ready all the time, but she knows “it’s definitely not the excess frozen yogurt and late night pancakes.”

#TBT: YOUR NINETIES CHEAT SHEET

Because ‘90s style was the freakin’ bomb— right, homeslice?

CAROLINE MARQUES

It was 1997. You were only a few years old, shoving colored cereal down your throat in front of Cartoon Network. Meanwhile, you were missing out on the “last greatest decade of all time,” aka the Nineties. So to honor your fave characters from Clueless to Cruel Intentions, we’re bringing back some hella fresh trends. If you don’t dig ‘em, you can talk to the hand. Peeeeeace out.

BANGIN’ LEATHER

THE 411 ON ACCESSORIES Part of what will make your Nineties outfit so stylin’ is your accessories. You should only be wearing Chuck Taylors or Doc Martens (perfect for repelling the sticky floors at late nights). Bandanas and Aviator sunglasses are (Kasia Jania photographed by Corey Fader.) also a must, but don’t ever, ever feel the need to bring back the tube tops and jelly shoes. Disco fashion can only go so far. While maxi skirts are okay, mid–calf go–go boots will never be a thing. Knee–high boots and socks, on the other hand, are good to go. If you’re going to the gym, opt for slouch socks and an oversized sweatshirt. Given the not–so–recent tundra situation outside, army cargo should also still be a thing. Chilling at home? Acid wash jeans and overalls are the way to go. We swear you won’t look ridiculous, just super, like, retro.

FRESH FLANNEL

(Nina Ilevia photographed by Corey Fader.) Let’s put aside the hip–hop and preppy for a moment to focus on what we all know is the most important part of the nineties: the leather. We’re talking grunge and alternative rock. We’re talking cheap beer and times when you could still smoke in bars (and no one would judge you for it). All black, all leather, all the time. So maybe it’s difficult now for you to swing this at Smokes', but leather is still 100% relevant. Black leather, brown leather, grey leather—we don’t care. A leather jacket is still the most essential piece of clothing there ever was. (Remember Ethan Hawke’s in Before Sunrise? Yeah.) It’s sexy and simple. If you can pair it with a tight choker and some red lipstick (as you should), then more power to ya. (Vineeta Nangia photographed by Corey Fader.) 1 2 3 4 T H S T R E E T M A G A Z I N E F E B R U A R Y 1 8 , 2 01 5

The Nineties fave may be the leather jacket, but flannel comes in as a close second. After all, you wear flannel when you’re lunchin’. You should wear flannel when you’re banging, getting jiggy and freaking out. Before poser hipsters hailing from Brooklyn or another totally gentrified geographic ruined flannel for the rest of us, loose, tartan flannel shirts were the shit. Plus, what else would you put on when you try too hard to fit in at Fiume (Ed. note: to all mainstreamers, that’s a bluegrass bar on 45th)? Think about it, dude—flannel is comfortable, chill and most importantly, easy to take off after one too many white Russians.

STREET ST YLE

IN DEFENSE OF FUR To defend the lives of animals, let's start with admitting how much we love fur.

After watching New York Fashion Week YouTube videos, I realized that we have to accept fur for what it is: Beautiful. That’s hard to accept when wearing fur means slaughtering cute, furry animals in the name of fashion. Everyone knows that the path to exhibiting a chinchilla’s skin on a runway model isn’t pretty. But when the thought that, maybe, fur is gorgeous inevitably arises, it’s chastised as the thought of an inhumane dirtbag. To even start believing that there might be inherent beauty in fur is to be exiled from the realm of “decent human beings.” What follows with every subsequent—and natural—thought is shame. From the point of view of an animal lover (99.99% of people), it would be insensitive to admit that fur looks great. But when you see North West in a fabulous mink coat, you cannot deny the swag. Asking fur–wearers to take an honest look at where their fur comes from is hypocritical if you can’t be honest about the gorgeous fur aesthetic. Loving fur doesn’t mean ignoring the slaughtering practices behind your rabbit vest. We need to stop screwing up generations of little silver fox families and fur–farming altogether. I’m pretty sure we shouldn’t agree with where Karl Lagerfeld’s logic inevitably leads: “In a meat–eating world...the discussion of fur is childish.”Therefore, it’s okay to not talk about how minks are beaten into bloody carcasses. But this statement is obvious. The harder truth to admit is one you must admit to yourself: All bludgeoning aside, isn't it amazing how a silver fox’s grey fur magically transforms into illuminating, fluttering columns of white with each strut of the runway model. In order to defend the lives of animals, we have to start with being honest. In order to do that, those of us against fur have to start accepting the parts of ourselves that may not be completely PC. If anything, the fur issue is an opportunity to face the part of ourselves that doesn’t make any sense—to understand that we all have a part that is ignorant, and that’s difficult to admit. Confronting the fur issue head–on is to face who you truly are. It isn’t really fur that should be defended, but rather the ability to accept that fur is beautiful should be. It’s the ability to accept that wearing fur is both a daily exhibition of extreme horror and extreme aesthetic. Understanding that is to understand where fur–wearers are coming from. Being honest about fur’s beauty is the hard starting point. What comes next, and is even harder to face, is whether we care enough about the cute little animal families enough to stop buying fur.

PENN DESIGNER YOU SHOULD KNOW: JAMEEL MOHAMMED This College sophomore is taking on the convention of jewelry with his line, Khiry. From meetings at Barneys, to online sales, Jameel shares his fashion vision and goals with Street. Street: Would you call Khiry a startup? Jameel Mohammed: It depends on who I am talking to. When I am talking to the business community, I call it a startup, [but] when I am talking to the creative community, it makes more sense, for them, as a line or a collection.” Street: How did you decide to start a fashion line? JM: I have always wanted to do ready–wear and last spring I went to the keynote address for Penn Fashion Week with Daniella Vitale and Mark Lee who are the COO and CEO of Barneys New York. During the Q&A period, I basically asked, ‘What would it take for a designer to get into Bar-

neys?’ I developed a relationship with Daniella and ended up bringing samples to New York to get them critiqued by the fashion director of Barneys, Tomoko Ogura. Street: What happened with her? JM: She said I had interesting ideas, but the level of construction necessary for clothes is very expensive. I had a necklace with me however, and she said maybe you should go in this direction because the margins of jewelry are higher and production cost is lower. So I could produce a Barney’s quality line without too much capital. (Ed. note: and he did!)

Street: Where are you selling? Just the web right now? JM: Yeah, it is all there. Right now I am working on getting into retail. All winter break, I spent mining the internet for boutiques that would fit the profile with the line. After fashion month ends, I will be doing a huge retail push. Street: What is your biggest jewelry “don’t”? JM: The philosophy of my line is to do things which are unexpected—things that don’t make sense—but then making them luxurious. So I am all about don’ts. But don’t be tacky. You can’t really define tacky, but you know it when you see it. Don’t put it on your body.

(Photo: Amy Chen)

Street: Do you have another line coming out or is the one staying around for a while? JM: This summer I am going to build up a new collection. I got a scholarship so I might

move into fine [jewelry] and handbags. Read more of this interview online. This interview has been edited and condensed.

How to Look Business Professional Without Looking Like a Drab Librarian If you don't plan on working at code camp or Jew camp this summer, you're probably interning in business professional garb.

HOW1 TO 23 BE 4 SEXY

STREET ST YLE

There’s a time and a place for sexy. Your little cousin’s bat mitvah isn't it. Your 9am recitation isn't it. Your TA’s office hours might be it. A date night where your ex–boyfriend is going with some fucking freshman is definitely it. So, how do you pull off looking effortlessly sexy?

Noodles: Slurp them. Historically, female noodle slurping habits correlate with strong birthing hips.

Music: Pick a soundtrack that’ll get you in the sexy mood. Ska is really good for this.

Ti–89s: Avoid! Do calculators seem sexy to you?

Hip–to–waist ratio: Make sure that when you divide your waist size by your hip size you get exactly the golden ratio. If your ratio isn’t on point, don’t even bother. No one gives a shit about silver or bronze at the Olympics either. Smile: Don’t show your teeth. Teeth aren’t sexy.

Dress: You should dress to imply that you're a freak in the sheets and also in the streets.

HERE ARE SOME SEXY WORDS: CHAMBER. JIGGLE. ENGORGE. SCROTA. FINAGLE. AREOLA. GRISTLE. THUMB. PLUSH. TOYOTA CAMRY. TENDER. STREET. PEEP US @ 34ST.COM.

Wrists: ALWAYS expose your wrists. They emit pheromones, so basically wrists=sex magnets. Bonus points if you can shoot webs from them. Sex webs.

Kegels: Do them constantly. If you’re not kegeling while reading this you’re not committed to being sexy.

Scurvy: Try not to get scurvy, but if you do, don’t whine about it. Concepts: Understand that like conjunctivitis, sexy is in the eye of the beholder. If you feel sexy then you are sexy. Being awkward in leather and lace is not nearly as sexy as being confident in sweatpants. Be comfortable, and you will be sexy. Mic drop.

HOW TO ROCK A GROUTFIT Grey cards, grey cars, all grey errthang.

The groutfit comes in all shapes and sizes. Sure, there’s the groutfit you wear in line at Bui’s on Sunday morning as your hangover pounds mercilessly in your skull and you contemplate your life choices. But guess what: There’s also a chic way to rock a groutfit. A crucial piece of advice when it comes to groutfitting actually stems from a book I haven’t read but am pretty sure is about fashion: 50 Shades of Grey. Grey-layering (greyering?) should follow the same rules as sporting numerous shades of denim: As long as the pieces you’re wearing don’t come too close to being the same color, you’re good. Matching a heather grey crop top, for example, with darker grey, high-waisted jeans is a totally appropriate going out groutfit. Another important factor when selecting your groutfit is material. If you can avoid super casual fabrics (these are technical terms, so try not to get overwhelmed: Stay away from “t–shirt material” and “sweatshirt material”), you won’t run the risk of looking like a slob–and–a–half. Knits, jersey and silk are all safe materials to ensure your groutfit game stays strong. Arguably, the most important accessory for your groutfit is confidence. Walk into your OCR interview in a groutfit and a smile that says, “I ate private equity for lunch,” and I guarantee you’ll get the job.* Wear the groutfit, don’t let the groutfit wear you. *Note: I can’t guarantee this.
