he work in this issue says a lot more than I possibly could. It is color, it is light, it is love. Each photoshoot does not only tell a message, but screams it. I believe that we as a team pushed our artistic boundaries more than we ever have before, and I want to thank everyone for being so vulnerable this semester and willing to share. I truly believe that each issue we publish raises the bar, and this one is no exception. As I sit in my hometown bedroom writing this letter, I cannot help but feel extremely out of place. I should be at my favorite coffee spot in Tallahassee stressing over sending this to print, but due to the uncertain circumstances that the whole world is facing I am isolated away in my home. Life is so unpredictable but the production of this magazine and the unity of DWF’s amazing team has kept me sane. Everyone’s dedication to this magazine has shown with their continued work ethic and commitment to putting their best work forward. Although we cannot physically be together to celebrate our creation, we can celebrate the friendships and growth that it has brought us, and I can’t wait until we are reunited to commemorate the unique spectacle that is DWF Issue 20.

Fashion as aCoping Mechanism “Through every knit, through every choice and decision, we have the power to express our personality through our clothing. What was once a bird with tied wings, can be released and set ready to fly through the expression of fashion. This is how I broke out, to fly on my own.”

As time passed and I was in college, I cut my hair and got bangs. With each change in my appearance, I got closer to who I was. I was regaining control of my body again and gaining my self-confidence back. It was similar to creating a customized character, except the character was me and I am real. My story is not an uncommon one and after suffering through a highly distressing event, I know that fashion can provide people with a voice. It tells others who you are, but more importantly, it can tell yourself who you are. I sat down with three FSU students to discuss their experiences with using fashion to reclaim their identities after trauma. Bailey Taylor was in middle school when her sister was sexually assaulted by three family friends. Not only that, but Taylor was unknowingly drugged and had to deal with the psychological aftermath of that experience. Her friends ignored her and she had felt entirely alone. In order to, “find her entrance into the world,” Taylor dyed her hair bold colors and experimented with makeup. Her initial goal was, “to feel closer to herself by portraying her style to the world,” and that she did. She posted tutorials on youtube and eventually gained tens of thousands of followers. Not only did people at school know who she was, but so did thousands of others from around the world. This is only one instance of someone who fought back through the power of expression. Many use fashion to fight back in instances in which others attempt to control them. This was the case for Elizabeth Ranno, who was made fun
of in middle and high school for her body. The constant ridicule caused her to develop body dysmorphia which forced her to cover-up all the time. This continued until she came to college. Ranno saw so many different trends and styles when walking around on campus. Students dressed as they pleased and this inspired her. Eventually, she felt the need to make a change: “I want to feel confident. I want to feel pretty. I want to show myself off because I haven’t done it in nineteen years,” she admitted. Ranno is now finding her style and sense of self through fashion. She experiments with various hairstyles, creates art out of her nails and wears clothing that stands out to her. Ranno has discovered that she enjoys thrifting because it allows her to create something beautiful out of something that has been discarded. With a story very similar to my own, this student, who chose to remain anonymous, was in a sexually abusive and controlling relationship during her teenage years. While in this relationship, she was forced to do things that she wasn’t comfortable with and to only wear clothes that her boyfriend approved. After finally ending the relationship, she started to wear beachy and seventies inspired clothes that she liked. She pierced her nose and dyed her hair, which she said: “I think it’s helped me take back some of the power I once lost because I didn’t have to ask for an opinion. I just did it without fear of repercussions and to make myself happy and feel confident.” For her, this was also a way to fight back at her abuser. She changed her appearance in ways that she knew he wouldn’t approve, because she finally could and because she wanted to, stating “I’ve been going blonde slowly because I have always wanted to but he only liked brunettes.” By altering her appearance in this way she was able to regain a sense of control and ownership of her own body. The use of fashion to cope with trauma has helped me, these women and many others to reclaim their identities. It isn’t just for people to know who they are, but it is for them to know themselves better. Each creative choice has a story, a reason for being there. It tells the world something about you, but it proves to yourself you have an identity outside of your trauma. Fashion
should not be your only coping mechanism, but it has certainly helped me to realize that my body is mine, not my abusers. Despite the things that have happened to these women and me, we show the world who we are confidently and the ability to express ourselves through a medium that we resonate with has made all the difference. A person’s sense of style has the ability to be their sense of self. It is an empowering tool, which has guided me towards my freedom from the mental impact of my past. At seventeen years old, I was a victim of sexual assault by my then-boyfriend. The entire relationship was abusive, yet I didn’t realize this until talking with my friend later on. “Emily, that’s assault,” she said. All-day I tried to make sense of it and I felt as though this experience had just happened to me, despite that it occurred five months prior. Unaware of how to cope and feeling lost, I felt the need to reinvent myself, so I pierced my nose, changed my style, and started planning out a tattoo. These were the steps I took in helping me find my identity again.

Jean Peaul Gaultier
“L’ENFANT TERRIBLE”
After holding the fashion world in his palm for 50 years, the irreplaceable Jean-Paul Gaultier took his final bow at his show this year. By: Jacob Terrell
DWF Magazine | 20
The Final Bow
Titled “First Upcycling Haute Couture Collection,” Gaultier left a lasting message that stresses the necessity of recycling clothing and brings awareness to the colossal amount of fashion waste produced by big brands with frequent collections. At the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris, his fabulous show featured over 200 looks with references from Gaultier’s most memorable designs, including his conical bras and consistently sharp silhouettes. With a combination of sophisticated, theatrical and camp styles, the range of this show is unparalleled to any other show this season. The runway was studded with supermodels as both Hadid sisters, Winnie Harlow and Jourdan Dunn strutted down in Gaultier garments. Even the audience was full of talented fashion designers from his former assistants: Nicholas Ghesquiere of Louis Vuitton and the very elusive Martin Margiela to Christian Lacroix and Dries Van Noten. As always, Gaultier puts the “show” in a fashion show as it was flooded with forms of entertainment from Boy George performing to Coco Rocha dancing an Irish number down the aisle. At one point, supermodel Karlie Kloss opened a custom Gaultier coffin adorned with two of his staple iconic cones that contained Issa Lish dressed in a pearly white tutu dress. Within the looks, Gaultier continued his signature theme of eliminating gender stereotypes. There was a male dressed in a masculine matador jacket who gracefully walked in pointe down the runway which juxtaposes the traditional ideals of sexuality. One of my favorite themes from the show was Gaultier’s deconstruction of the male suit into a body armor suit for women in 5 looks, each one slowly removing the traditional lapels and structure to reveal a sexy, yet empowering suit silhouette.
Building Jean-Paul Gaultier
Born in France on the April 24th, 1952, the young Gaultier’s interest in fashion was apparent in his elementary years. From rudimentary cloths, Gaultier made bras and corsets for his stuffed teddy bear that served as an early inspiration for future designs, and was featured at his art exhibitions. Eager to pursue a career in fashion, Gaultier sent sketches to many Parisian designers until he was hired to work at the house of Pierre Cardin. Known for his bubble designs and space-age inspired garments, Pierre Cardin introduced Gaultier to the French fashion industry. After Cardin, Gaultier ventured to the extravagant house of Jacques Esterel. Here, Gaultier began developing his signature style and honed his technique. Finally, he went to work for the couture house, Patou from
1971 to 1973. After acquiring his last bit of internship knowledge, Gaultier left Patou and debuted his own couture show in 1976 with financial backing from his lover and business partner, Francis Menuge. In this debut show, Gaultier manipulated the untraditional materials and rather inexpensive fabrics in such a romantic way that even pieces of braided straw matched the high-quality of other couture gown material.
L’enfant Terrible
After dabbling as assistants for major Parisian designers and debuting his own couture show, it was not until 1982 when Gaultier established his own design house with backing from Kashiyama, a Japanese consortium. Here is where Gaultier unapologetically expressed his now-signature style that refused to adopt the traditional French clothing style and conformed to no guidelines. Gaultier had a punk/street style that was influenced by gender fluidity, which challenged the fashion standard at
For a final time, Gaultier produced garments that embody campy chic, unconventional innovation, and truly a beautiful way to memorialize his legacy. the time. Gaultier wanted to create a juxtaposition to erase the concept of gender roles by masculinizing women with pants, and feminizing men with corsets, kilts, and dresses with train. As a result, the young Gaultier earned the nickname “L’enfant Terrible” of fashion. In fact, Gaultier mentioned specifically creating the kilt, or man-skirt, in response to the hypersexualization of male models and wanted to feminize them. Along the course of his design house, Gaultier hired Martin Margiela as a design assistant until he went to produce his own fashion house in 1987. Gaultier also hired former Balenciaga designer (and reviver), Nicholas Ghesquiere of Louis Vuitton to assist him before his departure. In 1996, Gaultier debuted his first haute couture collection where Gaultier’s true passion awakened. The house of Jean-Paul Gaultier is one of the eleven haute couture labels formally accredited by Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture that keeps the authenticity and culture of haute
couture alive. After wowing the world with his talent, Hermes hired Gaultier as head womenswear design from 2002 to 2010.
Customs a la Gaultier
To own any Gaultier garment is an honor, but to have Gaultier custom-make your entire Blond Ambition World Tour in 1990 is a statement that only applies to Madonna. In these designs, Gaultier included his iconic conical bras (once inspired by his teddy bear), and basques. The hard cone bras push femininity to its peak that radiates divine confidence but is also whimsical. These sexy, yet liberating garments blew up and are known as one of Gaultier’s greatest works. His reinterpretation of the sailor uniform, and pulling inspiration from the nautical stripes into his own designs is now a signature of Gaultier. He has dressed A-listers from the likes of Nicki Minaj, Rihanna, and Solange. Along with other customs, Gaultier did costume design for “The Fifth Element” and was Diet Coke’s creative director where he redesigned their bottles. Diversifying his portfolio, Gaultier released iconic perfumes whose design was shaped as bodies: Classique as a woman and Le Male as a man. From world tours to indulgent scenes, Gaultier did it all well.
Legacy
Successfully surviving 50 years in the fashion industry is a feat not all can conquer; however, the eccentric Jean-Paul Gaultier did. His unorthodox desire to be himself propelled him forward and helped modernize the industry. In his different collections, Gaultier’s garments are a melting pot of cultures that are seen through his Parisian view. From the nonconformist styles of Geisha to Rabbis and even Bollywood performers, Gaultier reinterpreted these influences to produce fabulous clothing. Original staples to the Gaultier brand are the present-day fashion conversations and challenges including diversity, gender fluidity, and sustainability. Gaultier always cast unique models from elderly, tattooed, hairy and even featured celebrities. He stressed the importance of inclusivity within his brand and stood by it. For his lifelong contributions to the fashion world and accompanying overarching messages, Jean-Paul Gaultier will be tremendously missed. The Haute Couture house of JeanPaul Gaultier is still continuing, however! From now on, Gaultier is appointing a designer to interpret the codes of his house. The first designer is Chitose Abe of Sacai who has experience with Commes des Garçons and Junya Watanabe. With this modern concept, Gaultier is still paving the way towards a new fashion world even from retirement.

Fashion is a
Spectrum wood gender rules by proudly donning menswear suits in films. More girls began to ruffle through their mother’s closets, looking for a new and radical way to reshape women’s wear. In 1966, Yves Saint Laurent launched “Le Smoking”, the first tuxedo suit for women. This moment helped to spearhead The Peacock Revolution, a counter-culture movement where men were beginning to break gender stereotypes following the decriminalization of homosexuality in 1967. By 1980, super-stars like Prince were unapologetically flaunting bold patterns on soft materials, while Grace Jones projected an intoxicating mix of sexy masculinity to her crowds. The Grunge era saw the final push at extinguishing the boundaries of gender, having rock stars don nail polish, long hair, and baby-doll dresses...
Many people think there are two categories to define clothing: feminine and masculine.
Lace, florals, and sequins seem to be on any product with a drip of feminine energy, not mentioning the required 101 shades of pink. Masculinity appears in hints of leather and denim, rugged materials for the ‘Tough Guy’. These are very vague terms and don’t capture the world of fashion boldly existing between the two. This is the beauty of androgyny. While it does little to define the exact lines between masculine and feminine, it creates a new region for individuals of any background to blend the line separating genders. The first mentions of androgynous fashion come from the early 1900s, coinciding with World Wars I and II. Traditional gender roles began to blur, empowered women were starting to stretch their legs when the iconic Coco Chanel introduced trousers in women’s fashion. By the 1930s, the daughters of post-suffrage generation had pushed the boundaries of Old Holly-

for the simple pleasure of destroying the patriarchy. Androgynous fashion has broken inartistic boundaries for every individual to define their own style and express how they feel without restriction. It is just as normal for a woman to have a buzzcut with a full tux as it is for a man to wear a coordinating two-piece with matching heels. No longer will we be told what’s appropriate and what isn’t because at the end of the day, it’s your clothing. Fashion opened a variety of (closet) doors and instead of stealing from their mom’s closet, people are borrowing from their dad, their aunt, their rocker girlfriend, and their witchy roommate. Speaking of, can I borrow your spiked, red leather, Doc Martens? They would go just perfectly with my Chanel red wool skirt suit!

Hip Hop and Streetwear Hip-Hop culture is currently running the world of streetwear.
H
ip-Hop culture has run the world of Streetwear fashion for decades. Typically known to follow limited edition releases or fusing multiple elements, streetwear has become a style of clothing that has given people a new outlet of artistic expression. As new Hip-Hop artists pop up on the scene with each passing second, influxes of bold color palettes and parachute pants are seen to be making a comeback. Many critics against the movement have tried to categorize the 21st century as one “without any true staple style” and label Streetwear as “too messy and lacking uniform”. Yet in recent years, designers and fashion influencers everywhere have taken note of the Streetwear trend and have begun blending the eye-catching patterns with their ideas of haute couture. Elite fashion labels have also begun collecting more Hip-Hop artist opinion/suggestion to incorporate into their own original pieces. Last fall at the Alexander Wang 2018 Fall/Winter Collection, Rap artist and Streetwear regular, Cardi B, was personally invited to sit front row. Wang, along with Gucci and DNKY, has been well known to have adopted the concept of Streetwear into his own collections. This stylistic choice shines light on the intricacy of designers like Wang and shows us what they value in fashion, simplicity is out, and vibrancy and detail is in. Depicted in an image by Nick Tracanna, Local Tallahassee Rapper TaReef Knockout is styled in a vintage FSU windbreaker and snapback, here we see how the Hip-Hop industry is bringing back all sorts of pieces to represent where they’re from and where they’re going. Taking their cities to the forefront of the worlds stage both musically and stylistically. Hip-Hops influence on streetwear is a lot more than a look, it’s a statement, rappers see this as another layer of individuality and representation.

Pictured Left: Tallahassee Rapper, TaReef, performing in staple FSU merchandise Just like every detail of a beat or lyric is taken into account of in terms of importance so is every type of stitching and color worn. You can sow a lot deeper meaning into something if you really pay attention and that’s exactly what Hip-Hop artists want you to do. Using a staple pieces like TaReef Knockout does with FSU Merch is a big part of who he is and speaks volumes into where he is from and the pride that comes with that. Some hot pieces that are on the accessible market right now are the chunky white Nike Airforce 1’s, Gucci belts, and designer labeled fanny packs. Many have adopted these looks as their own and can identify with the contemporary aesthetic which Streetwear provides. There is no limit to Streetwear’s ability to evolve and positively shock the public into new, unparalleled versions of fashion.

From “a young age I was told what to wear, unknowingly taking part in the social sexism within fashion. This realization was formed only recently as I had always imagined myself getting dressed with what I perceived to be my personality. As I have gotten older, I have noticed my tendency to stray away from a cute tank or mini skirt in fear or maybe tiredness of having to defend myself to a possible passerby. Female fashion has been defined and confined by the male gaze since the dawn of fashion.

RE-
I t has become increasingly clear in our society that our everyday actions have an
impact on our environment. Concerned individuals are making changes to their lifestyles in attempts to limit their carbon footprint, many have changed to a plantbased diet, or switched to an electric car. Overall, there is an increased desire for an environmentally conscious economy. Something people may not consider when calculating their environmental impact is the clothing they buy and stores they shop at. The world consumes eighty billion pounds of new clothing each year, this is up four hundred percent from two decades ago. The average American throws away about eighty-one pounds of clothing per year, ninety-five percent of those can be recycled yet eighty-five percent ends up in landfills. This includes certain textiles such as polyester, spandex, and nylon which can take twenty to two hundred years to fully biodegrade. In recent years fast fashion has infiltrated the industry. Fast fashion can be defined as “cheap, trendy clothing, that samples ideas from the catwalk or celebrity culture and turns them into garments in high street stores at breakneck speed” and it has seen a twenty-two percent increase in popularity in the past three years. Recognizable fast fashion brands include Forever 21, Rue 21, PrettyLittleThing, and Boohoo. Fast fashion allows consumers to wear stylish clothes at an affordable cost. The problem is not the clothing itself, but the system used to manufacture these products and its larger impact on society. The fast fashion industry’s exploitation extends beyond high end designers, taking advantage of their textile workers as well. The atrocious treatment, pay, and working conditions of workers is one of the biggest issues found in the industry. Eighty percent of textile workers are young women between the ages of 18-24 and there is
DWF Magazine | 44
evidence of forced labor found in various countries according to the 2018 U.S. Department of Labor report. In this industry profit is above all. Consequently, when it is time to cut down costs to increase profits, the first corner cut is at the expense of the workers. Sixteen-hour days, seven days a week, is the regular work schedule and workers are unable to refuse overtime, nor can they afford to. Unacceptable health and safety conditions are rampant in these factories. Employees are forced to work in unsafe factories buildings with little to no ventilation where they inhale toxic substances. Injuries and disease are common in textile production due to the lack of safe standard in place. Workers are subjected to verbal and physical abuse as consequence for not reaching daily quotas. Worse off, many of these factory workers are children. 168 million children across the globe are forced to work, a majority being in the textile industry due to the low-skilled labor. A lot of brands are considered to be fast fashion nowadays, however there are several brands that create sustainable designs and use environmentally friendly textiles. Clothing brands such as Pact, Reformation, and Everlane are rather affordable compared to other brands but can run you upwards of fifty dollars an item. An alternative I would highly suggest is buying your clothing second hand, it is the most affordable way to participate in sustainable fashion. Buying second-hand clothing is super easy and you can find it through various outlets, such as consignment stores, vintage boutiques, and mobile marketplaces like Depop. Some vintage or re-sale brands can be expensive, that’s why my favorite way to participate in sustainable fashion in to shop at thrift stores. The benefit of thrifting your clothes is the affordability. If you put in the effort to search through the racks, you can find brands like Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren, and Tommy Hilfiger at insanely low prices. Speaking from personal experience, I’ve gotten some of my best wardrobe pieces for a reasonable price at thrift stores. The jeans I buy from thrift stores are quality brands such as Levi’s and Calvin Klein, quality second-hand items like these are

proven to stand the test of time. I understand you cannot find everything you need at a thrift store, there are things you will need to buy brand new like underwear, but there are plenty ways you can incorporate second-hand pieces into your wardrobe. For example, I’m a server and I’ve gotten all my uniform pieces from Goodwill. There is no reason to spend fifty dollars on a black button down and black pants from any store,
when you could go to your local thrift store and get those same pieces for around ten dollars. You are saving money and you are helping reduce pollution by reusing clothes and increasing demand for second-hand clothing while simultaneously decreasing demand for new, fast fashion. The little things make a difference; if you need a new coat, sweater, or dress check out the local thrift shop first before you go online or to your nearest mall.

Quintessence Things of quality have no fear of time
Intro Paragraph
By: Casey Vasquez
Ruba Abu-Nimah, Revlon’s Creative Director, gave a talk at StockX’s StockXchange Paris in 2019 about quintessence and a few pieces she felt lived up to this title. She began her talk by defining quintessence as the fifth element, describing an object to be ideal. When relating this idea to fashion there are a few designs which have transcended the test of time and have become wearable icons. DWF Magazine | 46
“When you wear an item of this nature you feel as though you belong in a club of those in the know.” - Ruba Abu-Nimah Air Jordan 1’s Released in 1985, the Air Jordan 1 was designed by Peter Moore for Nike’s Collaboration with Michael Jordan. This was the first time Nike created a shoe for a professional athlete. What started out as just a basketball shoe shortly became a staple for sneakerheads all over the world. By 1986 Nike had made 100 million from the shoe’s sales and created an entire brand for the Jordan line. Today the shoe continues to sell out, and collaborations with high fashion brands such as Dior and Off-White qualify the shoe to be on the list of quintessential designs. Louis Vuitton Designed by Georges Vuitton in 18961897, the monogram and check pattern on Louis Vuitton luggage and bags have created not only an image for themselves but for many brands to follow. The two-tone checkered pattern is replicated by many designers, like Fendi, Coach and Michael Kors, who use their own names and monograms. The neutral colorway and classic bag design allow the monogram to serve timelessly. It comes to no surprise that the design was imitated all the way back in the 19th century and continues to be one of the most counterfeit brands today. The quality of the genuine has an indescribable feel. As Ruba explains, “When you wear an item of this nature you feel as though you belong in a club of those in the know.” So grab your Louis, confirm its legitimacy, and hold on tight.
Levi 501 Levi’s are a staple in every fashion guru’s closet and that is not by coincidence. Designed by Jacob Davis in 1890, the classic 501s have gone through many alterations but one thing remains constant and that’s quality. Nearly a century later in 1981 when the first pair were designed for women the 501’s exploded in demand, but what is it that makes these jeans so popular? Worn by tom boys and designer fanatics these jeans can be paired with anything. Their fit is flattering for all body types, the material keeps its shape, and the color uniquely fades with time. It’s no wonder these jeans are blowing up again through the recent high interest of thrifting. Go out and invest in a pair to complete your closet, you will not regret it.
Revlon Fire and Ice Makeup and more specifically a red lip can be a fashion statement alone. If you know the history of lipstick, then you know how men tried to govern the use of lipstick because they believed that women were falsely advertising their looks. The use of red lipstick became a way for women to subvert this control, and the look became symbolic with rebellion ever since. Revlon introduced their Fire and Ice ad campaign in 1952 with a series of questions such as, “do you think any man really understands you?” which subtly highlighted the fact that women could wear makeup for themselves. As surprising as it sounds today, this idea was unheard of in its time and it is for this reason that I hand the quintessential title to Revlon for their classic Red lip.
Chuck Taylor Converse designed the early basketball shoe in 1917 but it wasn’t until 1922 when basketball player, Chuck Taylor, asked converse to redesign the shoe with better support and flexibility that we began to see the early stages of the shoe many of us own today. The first white model was introduced at the 1836 for the Olympics which featured the classic red white and blue colorway. Chuck Taylors are the most popular basketball shoe ever sold and it was recorded that 60% of all Americans own or have owned a pair. It is the shoes long life span, inexpensive price, and ideal design that allows the shoe to transcend age, gender, personal style, and ultimately time.
Burberry Trench A classic trench coat is iconic but we owe this timeless image to Burberry. Thomas Burberry first designed the trench coat in its classic khaki color and lightweight gabardine fabric to protect the soldiers in the trenches during World War 1, hence the name. This coat transformed into a fashion statement due to movie stars sporting the coat in their films. From there the coat entered the mainstream and has not budged. The design has been replicated by what seems to be hundreds of other brands, but nothing beats the quality and attention to detail than that of Burberry’s.

New Americana By: Jacob Terrell
As the American social fabric progresses into a more diverse and inclusive era, fashion reflects this change at a slowing rate. Each fashion season, we hope to see a wide range of POC and their talents showcased; however, the result is rather disappointing. Many designers of color do not receive praise for their work and their visibility is reduced. To celebrate Black History Month in February, we are featuring a few black fashion designers that have made remarkable contributions in world of fashion and whose influence continues into the new decade.
LaQuan Smith
Learning how to craft garments from his grandmother, LaQuan Smith built his Queens-based womenswear brand at the age of 21 in 2008. If one was to combine fabulous prints, sexiness and a fearless spirit, you would have the aura of Smith’s clothing. With his form-fitting designs, Smith’s silhouettes are the definition of sex and risque. He has presented in New York Fashion Week multiple times with attendees ranging from Andre Leon Tally, Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, and Kim Kardashian. LaQuan Smith’s ability to combine sex and the future in his fashion proves that he is a brand built to last.
Christopher John Rogers
As a graduate from the notorious Savannah College of Art and Design, Christopher John Rogers stunned the fashion world with his imaginative perspective. Notably, Rogers’ use of bold colors including metallics and neons combined with his distinct silhouettes creates a drama that rightfully won him the CFDA x Vogue Fashion Fund, awarding him with $400,000 and a world of mentors. Rogers is already able to brag that he has Michelle Obama, Rihanna, and Lizzo on his clientele list. Rogers states that he wishes to craft garments that revolutionize eveningwear for the current generation, making classic looks yet chic and futuristic. This breakout artist from Baton Rouge is one to watch in this decade’s fashion pioneers.
Telfar Clemens
Telfar Clemens describes his own label as a unisex source for “horizontal, democratic and universal” clothing. Through his brand, Clemens wishes to rethink and remix basic garments through his proportions, stitch work, and shapes. Clemens won the CFDA x Vogue Fashion Fund back in 2017 and has produced iconic designs, including his Shopping Bags that have been termed as the “Black Birkin.” Currently, Clemens is teamed up with the GAP to further revolutionize basic clothing essentials and is expected to release this September.

omen wearing suits started with suffragettes and Coco Chanel. Suffragettes embraced the freedom of movement enabled by men’s suits, which compelled Coco Chanel to create the Chanel suit. Feminine and glamourous, the twopiece suit represented the liberated women and became a symbol of progressive fashion. Inspired by the controversial pantsuits worn on-screen by actress and singer Marlene Dietrich, Marcel Rocha’s designed the first women’s pantsuit for consumers. Audrey Hepburn popularized the pantsuit on and off camera soon after, embracing her signature style despite the public’s disapproval. Early adopters of the pantsuit were the working women of World War II who needed comfortable clothing that would permit free range of movement.
Georgio Armani introduced the power suit in the 80’s, he updated the pantsuit with broad padded shoulders, menswear fabrics, and widened lapels that combined power and sex. Lawmakers still barred pants from being worn on senate floor, exhibiting the lack of control women had in politics. In 1993 Senators Barbara Mikulski and Carol Braun defied the rule and wore power suits onto the senate floor, and Martha Pope amended the law later that year to allow pants to be worn with jackets. The power suit earned its name because it projected confidence and authority, donned by famous women like Hillary Clinton. This history of the women’s suit provides inspiration for dressing in the modern day. Suits are a means of self-expression and wardrobe staples, they represent you. The women’s suit can be what you make of it, but this spring there are a few undeniably hot trends that may inspire you.

So Ugly I Like It “Ugly ” fashion is not just a passing trend - WHO WHAT WEAR BY SUSAN cAVAILHON Fashion never dies it just repeats itself. I would have never bet money that a mustard yellow tracksuit, FILA’s, or corduroy pants would make it onto the market. In today’s industry we see the bolder the style, the more taste it brings to our audience’s eyes. I became one of those people phased by the latest trends, I would ponder on why we actually like the fashion we surround ourselves with every day. Nothing draws my eye in like neon yellow tracksuits. They are like bike reflectors in your rear-view mirror -- impossible to ignore. As years go on your style develops as a direct effect of maturity, there is an acquired sense of style which is coming into popularity now as opposed to previous fashion which is very radical.

An example of this would be the huge boater hats that came into
style this past year; their bogging nature makes them appealing. If we go back to 2010, anyone being caught behind a pair of obnoxiously large circle glasses would have been grounds for a lot more than a, “four eyes” comment. The more obtuse the style the more sought after it becomes with the public. We also love big hair and crazy colors. Walking into a college classroom with a scrunchie or bright pink barrettes may have seemed uncanny a few years ago, but now those are staples in a wardrobe. It’s not something that’s been going on for too long, but it sure has picked up speed. In high school, just three years ago, everyone I remember was into basic white tees and black ripped jeans, now I feel out of place without wearing something that screams “Look at me!”. Issue 20 | 83
Miu Miu Pumps
Some people miss the simplicity of it all, which is a reason why
fashion has taken a complete 180 within the last year. This decade is trying to hone in on this, “So ugly I like it” idea, thanks to this era’s many important movements and factors leading up to this drastic flip. The cultural shift of acceptance in terms of LGBTQ support and 4th wave feminism has shifted fashion in ways we can’t imagine. The approval of same-sex marriage and steps towards equal pay for women have allowed the fashion world to pursue looks which push similar issues to the forefront of runways all across the globe. Pops of color and wacky patterns come from place like the drag community and pride festivals. DWF Magazine | 84

Fashion channels all that these diverse communities have to
offer in order to give a voice to those who don’t have one. Without this cultural shift, perhaps fashion would have continued to play it safe since the 2000’s but the ability to create a mindset change within our society has in turn opened up doors for fashion to blossom into something truly diverse. There is beauty in the so called “ugly” and I’m glad the fashion community is inherently a part of that. Fashion is once again making a statement and not letting the under-represented go unnoticed. Something labeled ugly is by definition unpleasing to the eye, but anyone can be the eye of the beholder. Ugly is up for interpretation, what is now ugly was once in style and we see this decade after decade. Issue 20 | 85

Fashion Statement
unk. A complex cultural zeitgeist of the 70s and onward that birthed the philosophy and look we know today. A way to “stick it to the man” in all aspects of its meaning. To challenge the norm in everything you do. Its seditious sentiment was a personification of angst and volume. Influencing music, lifestyles and fashion, punkis stamped as the culture that shocked the world. Clothing is a form of expression and perhaps punk’s most recognizable. The roots of punk fashion can be traced back to one of the greatest designers of all time, Vivienne Westwood.

By: Alfred Yeh
Ever since its conception, punk fashion and designer fashion have often playfully intermingled and swayed one another. The music and philosophies of punk is often seen in avant-garde and contemporary designer fashion. Designers often credit punk from aesthetic inspiration to direct callouts to its rich history. Many household names reference their use of punk in their collections such as Ann Demeulemeester, Jun Takahashi, Yohji Yamamoto, Raf Simons and many more. Some of these designers have notable connections to punk from their early life which
strongly influences later work. I believe that punk not only was a musical revolution, but a cultural revolution that evolved even the most elite designers at the fore front of fashion. The beginnings of punk aren’t tied up in a neat little box. There are a lot of debates as to how punk started, but there is one place that is undisputedly recognized in the history of punk. Country, Bluegrass & Blues (CBGB), a dive bar in the heart of New York City, is seen as the monolith and birthplace of punk. In its infancy, the most
prominent artists in the genre played at this dingy and soiled bar. The bathrooms were disgusting, the stage was small, and the music was loud. Patti Smith, Television, Ramones, Misfits, were all among the greats that graced the dilapidated stage in CBGB. Eventually, these performances led to the paroxysm of popularity that spawned a global revolution. The apathetic clothing styles of the artists led fans to flair similar styles. It wasn’t until the renowned punk manager Malcolm McLaren visited the United States from London that we see the intersection of punk and designer fashion. McLaren caught wind of the deconstructed and raw aesthetic of punk fashion in America. Coming back home, he worked with girlfriend and designer, Vivienne Westwood to create the prototypical punk look with a British spin. He then recruited his new clients, The Sex Pistols, to promote this new look in England. Becoming meteorically popular, The Sex Pistols completely altered the streets of London to create the look that would be seen in Westwood’s boutique SEX and her future work on the runway. At the same time, we see a young sixteenyear-old, Ann Demeulemeester, pick up Patti Smith’s Horses in a small record shop in Belgium. In Tokyo, a fledgling designer named Jun Takahashi joins a Japanese punk cover band called the Tokyo Sex Pistols. It’s evident that this era of music and mentality had influenced thesegenerations of designers. Raf Simons’ coveted Riot Riot Riot collection uses design references and collaborations with Joy Division and Sonic Youth, both exemplary punk rock bands. The whole collection was based around the sentiment of authenticity, the colors were bleak, and the clothes torn and distressed. Layers upon layers
of leather coats, Cobain inspired turtlenecks, bandana facemasks. A clear disruption in the bourgeoise runway culture with season after season of tailored suits, Simons creates a feeling of insurrection. It’s not only evident in the archive collections of Raf Simons, but he continually draws on the punk aesthetic for inspiration in current collections. Simons said in a recent interview with GQ, “I’m thinking a lot again about that period when there was a political climate that caused punk. My thing is not gonna be punk, but you know, what it meant, and why it came at that point. . .” Jun Takahashi, the wonder boy of Undercover, invoked the androgynous style of Patti Smith in his F/W 2004 collection. The show was dimly lit and had a snaking
thick dinner coats, dropped shoulders, almost zoomorphic footwear, and lengthy skirts. Takahashi is and always was the epitome of punk expression. When he broke out his first collection, it was during a time and place where artiswans, fashion designers or not, were praised for their minute design and utmost devotion to their craft. Takahashi consistently challenged his Japanese heritage with his eccentric design practices, sometimes editing his looks on the day of the shows with a pair of scissors. His attitude and designs were always singular, matchless and mold breaking. Yoshio Wakatsuki, a fashion show producer, has known Takahashi since his third Undercover collection. He reminisces his impressions about Takahashi in an interview with The New York Times. “What’s at the heart of him is still a punk
“Much more than an inspiration, these designers lived a lifestyle and philosophy of punk.” white line cutting through the runway, almost coaxing its viewers into a hypnotic trance. From the first couple of looks we see an almost identical guise directly inspired from Smith’s closet. The striped vests, grunge button-ups and loose trousers are what Smith has become an icon for. The show surveyed the effect of time on a piece of clothing and how it can evolve such a recognizable look into something more. As the show progressed it became more than an homage to a punk icon, the outfits got more eccentric and more worn down, eventually finding new purpose in its diminished glory. Patti Smith was merely the starting point. By the end of the show the looks had warped her layered new wave style into something with life of its own, utilizing long and
attitude. Anti-establishment sentiment — that’s what he wants to show. But he’s more dreamy, more playful, softer. Love.” There are many more designers that reference punk in their collections and shows. Ann Demeulemeester is heavily inspired by the queen of punk, Patti Smith. They are even best friends now with Smith wearing Demeulemeester’s designs every show. The world was shaken with the anti-establishment sentiment that punk bred in future generations. Much like when the era of rock and roll shattered the tastes of the norm, punk was there to offend. Punk is freedom of expression and that is what you see in artists. That is who these designers are, they’re
artists to their core.

is permanent. This is proven by every fashion trend that has come and gone. With a new decade just beginning, we’re taking the time to honor past trends that made a huge impact on our wardrobe choices. The 2000’s had some iconic trends over the years that shaped our styles today. We must sadly say goodbye to some important pieces that are gone now, but will never truly be forgotten.

First up, chokers. Chokers were a huge accessory in the early 2000’s, all A-list celebs finished their looks with a simple but impactful choker.
The short lived but impactful company of the feather hair extension deserves the next spot in our obituary. If you denied walking out of your house at least once with feather hair extensions in 2011, you’d be lying. Celebrities rocked them all over, from the streets to the red carpets. The feathers came in all different shapes and sizes to accompany whatever look you were going for. Thank you feather hair extensions for adding something new to our daily hairstyles. Finally, we honor the truly iconic Juicy tracksuit popularized by celebs like Paris Hilton and Britney Spears. Everyone, and I mean everyone, strutted the streets in head to toe Juicy. From bright pink to sky blue, whatever your favorite color is, there was a Juicy suit for you. Kylie Jenner blessed us with a quick throwback to the Juicy suits in 2016, which we were all here for. Thank you Juicy tracksuits for being comfortable yet trendy. Trends in the fashion world are constantly evolving to reach new standards and break established boundaries. Old trends are always reappearing in new ways, so who knows if these trends will make their comeback years from now. For now we lay these pieces to rest and thank them for shaping our early style choices.

If I have done anything, it is to make ugly appealing. In fact, most of my work is concerned with destroying, or at least deconstructing, conventional ideas of beauty, of the generic appeal of the beautiful, glamďż˝ orous, bourgeois woman. Fashion fosters cliches of beauty, but I want to tear them apart.
