A Letter from the Editor

Welcome to thread, Kingswood Oxford’s first-ever student-run fashion magazine Thread’s 2022 issue is about inspiration in all of its forms At KO, my most powerful lesson on inspiration happened in the art room, where we learned how to “steal like an artist.” Take a work of art that inspires you, and reflect what you love about it in something new.

For our inaugural issue, we began by taking our favorite works of art – music albums – and reimagining them through fashion and photography. This culminated in our photoshoot series entitled “Muse-ic,” with images inspired by iconic records. In our editorials, we took note of our environment and reflected on society through the lens of fashion and pop culture. Clothing is a vessel for identity and change, and we harnessed its power through a Rainy Day Clothing Drive for Jewish Family Services of Greater Hartford. We influence our world, and, in return, it gives us the inspiration to make art and change.

Watching thread come to life was nothing short of incredible. I am so proud of and thankful for each person on our staff who brought their creativity to the table, and to our section directors who worked tirelessly to make thread happen. Each of your talents and voices is indispensable, and I truly could not have asked for a more passionate and caring group of people. Thread is ours to celebrate.

And a special thanks to Ms. Schieffelin, our faculty advisor. I am grateful beyond words for her unwavering support for thread every step of the way. Thank you for believing in my idea and vision, and for your continued guidance, trust, and care. Our inaugural issue could not have happened without you.

Thank you for picking up thread’s 2022 issue! I hope it inspires you.
