Dear Readers,
If you are sitting down and clicking through our third issue, then you made it through finals! Our magazine staff has been hard at work to make HFS’s Winter Issue so you can relax after classes and get help through the Holiday season. Need some gift ideas? DIY one of fashion’s hottest trends: the Bib Necklace. Don’t know what to buy with the gift cards you will receive? Look to your peers for the trends that have been rocking our campus and that our social media girls have been documenting with “Here at IC.” Be sure to check out our Twitter (@ HFSMagazine) and Instagram (hfsmagazine) where we will keep you up to date on everything happening on IC’s campus. Including the pictures we posted from HiFashion Studios Fall 2012 Runway Show which was based after Tim Burton’s adaptation of Alice in Wonderland! Special thanks to our Art Department who, once again, worked long hours on the lay-out. And another thanks to our photographers and fashion editors that produced beautiful photo shoots for this issue. Enjoy,
Alicia Anissa
On Another Note: This is unfortunately my last
semester working with HiFashion Studios and HFS Magazine since I am graduating early. After seeing all of the amazing runway shows and magazines we have produced over the years, I have never been more proud to be part of an organization that consists of the most creative people I have ever met. I am also confident in the fact that HFS will continue years from now to be IC’s fashion inspiration. Special thanks to Anissa- we started this magazine together and I will really miss spending hours working with you on this amazing thing that we created together! You have become an incredible friend of mine and I have a feeling we will be working together again in the future! Sincerely,
Alicia Gallen

On the Cover
HiFashion Contributors Suzanna Slavin, Senior, IMC, Fashion Director What’s the best part of HiFashion? Working with a group of extremely talented, energetic and FASHIONABLE people! Cassie Walters, Freshman, Journalism, Fashion Editor How would you describe your personal style? I have a very edgy, rock ‘n roll style. I get my inspiration from the leather and leopard print of 80’s hair metal.
Carl Heyerdahl, Freshman, Film, Photography, & Visual Art, Photo Executive What fashion trend makes you cringe? The jean shorts that are super baggy and look like capris. They should all be burned. Also, any kind of old reebok sneakers.
Kelly Fishback, Sophomore, IMC. Fashion Editor What clothing/accessory are you dying to get this holiday season? I’m asking for some chunky scarves to layer over my sweaters. They chic and practical since Ithaca is so cold!
Pedro Maldonado, Senior, CMD, President How would you describe your personal style? I like to think of my personal style as the “Daper Dan” type of guy. I like being well put together with a minimalistic palette such as blues, whites, blacks, and greys. I also like taking classic looks and switching them from wing tips to high top sneakers. I’m the 50’s decade guy in 2012. 6
Anissa Richmond, Senior, IMC, Editor In Chief How would you describe your personal style? My style is sweet, feminine with a dash of preppy. Right now I’m into Peter Pan collars, and peplums, and plaid and pink. Lots of P’s. Megan O’Brien, Television-Radio, Art Director Best class you’ve taken at IC? Media Aesthetics & Analysis. I haven’t watched a TV show the same way since.
Joey Hollister, Junior, IMC, Events Executive Best class you’ve taken at IC? Public Relations hands down. Sunny Leerasanthanah, Freshman, Cinema and Photography, HFS Videographer and Writer What fashion trend makes you cringe? NIKE Jordans. You simply cannot pull it off unless you’re really really really smart with fashion. And I’m talking “raven-blackhaired indie blogger rocking harem pants and Tom Ford frames taking photos outside a Milan fashion show” smart.
Erica Greenberg, Sophomore, IMC, Wardrobe Executive What’s the best part of HiFashion? I absolutely love going and picking out the clothes. The rush of running around the store picking up items and picturing how you want it to look and on whom and then seeing that vision on the runway is the best feeling. Holly Kreczko, Senior, Documentary Studies & Production, Makeup Artist What clothing/accessory are you dying to get this holiday New lace-up leather boots. I live in my current pair and they are, sadly, beginning to fall apart...
Amy Lindenfelzer, Sophomore, CMD, Creative Executive What song is on repeat on your iTunes? Right now I am listening to Christmas songs but I love “Home” by Philip Philips. Alicia Gallen, Journalism, Editor-in-Chief How would you describe your personal style? I definitely like preppy mixed with trendy pieces, I guess. Clothes that can take me from school to work to the bars.
Grace Erickson, IMC, Art Editor What clothing/accessory are you dying to get this holiday season? A Michael Kors watch! One of the ones with silver and gold. I’m obsessed with watches but still don’t have one that I absolutely love, but have determined that Michael Kors is my style soulmate so of course I need his watch!

At the time, miniskirts were rebellious and crucial adopting similar values. They did so by reinventing themselves to the trend of young adults.

The Creation Coco & Giorgio and how changed the fashion of a they world forever Fashionista
W
hen you think of the little black dress, and neutral tone, crisp tailoring lines, two distinct designers come to mind—Chanel and Armani. Coco Chanel and Giorgio Armani have revolutionized fashion, but have you ever wondered where these monumental designers got their start? Every fashionista has a beginning, and what better to find out theirs than to go back in time to see what inspired their fashion careers!
“
Coco Chanel Who would have thought that such a glamorous icon would have a not-so-glitzy beginning? The iconic Gabrielle ‘Coco’ Chanel was sent to an orphanage by her dad after her mother died. While there, she was taught by nuns how to sew--a skill that would eventually shape her career. She launched her career at the age of 20 on Rue Cambon in Paris, where she created a women’s hat business with the help of two gentlemen, Etienne Balsan and Arthur “Boy” Capel. Soon after, she opened a

“
of your favorite fashion magazines, and drool over Chanel and Armani’s hottest trends, always remember their humble beginnings—the past that created the fashionista. • Nicole Panuccio
I design for real people. I think of our customers all the time. There is no virtue whatsoever in creating clothing or accessories that are not practical.” Giorgio Armani
Giorgio Armani Another designer with humble beginnings is the ever-so-famous Italian designer, Giorgio Armani. His love for flattering the human body began in his childhood, when he would make dolls out of mud with a coffee bean hidden inside. He went on to pursue his passion for anatomy at the University of Piacenza for a couple of years, but that came to a quick end when he had to serve in Italy’s military during World War II. While on vacation in Milan during his service, he landed a job at a department store, where he assisted designing the window displays. This is where his love for fashion blossomed, which is ironic, since he once said, “Never in my wildest dreams did I entertain the idea that I would become a fashion designer.” Fashion tells a story and helps identify oneself.

Alexander Wang Moves to Balenciaga
I
f a self-proclaimed fashion fan is an actual fashion fan then they know who Alexander Wang is. Extremely talented and extremely young, Wang has been the rising star since he jumped onto the runway in 2007 and a short year later was already nominated by the Council of Fashion Designers of America. In late November, Wang was named the new Creative Director of Balenciaga after Nicolas
14
Ghesquière stepped down from his position (supposedly because of friction between him and the company owners). Wang has consistently generated buzz over his brand because of his urban-chic take on womenswear. His career began with a hoodie and now he has moved onto designing for one of the biggest houses in the business… and it’s his first time working for a fashion house.
Ghesquière has been in the drivers seat for the past 15 years and now Wang will bring the brand into “modern luxury,” according to François-Henri Pinault (chairman and CEO of PPR who owns Balenciaga). Wang does not have an easy task at hand- the fashion house was founded in 1918 by Cristóbal Balenciaga and then continued by Ghesquière. He has to make the brand contemporary without undermining the previous legacies. Will he make a good fit for this Parisian fashion house? Fashion blogs

were debating if whether Wang was given the job because of his Taiwanese background and PPR wanting to capitalize Balenciaga into the Asian market. “What I read is people look at what has been done in the Alexander Wang brand which has nothing to do with what we want done with Balenciaga. You cannot judge from that. It’s a new challenge. It’s a new adventure for him. He has a great talent. I’m pretty sure that he we will demonstrate it,” replied Pinault. • Alicia Gallen, 2013

Textural Accents
Because of the hustle and bustle as well as the weather of this time of year, it isn’t a surprise that we want to exert less effort for more fabulous. Layering on the articles takes thought and time out of a morning that could be spent stopping at Starbucks. To combat the busy-busy, trending right now are articles of clothing with textural accents right on them! This trend has been seen on the runways of BCBG Max Azria, Mulberry, and Fendi. Don’t think, however, that you have to pay big money for the luxury of clothing that does the work for you. Here are a few more affordable options for these great accents. • Cassie Walters
This blazer with studded lapel from Modcloth is cute and functional. The different colored studs make choosing jewelry easy! You don’t have to worry about choosing silver or gold based on one little detail. If you don’t want to wear jewelry, it’s no big deal. Because the studding is on the lapel, the light will reflect and will shine right where a necklace would. Who needs jewels? For only $59.99, this blazer is the ultimate essential for a morning of convenience, and day of style.
These adorable studded loafers from Go Jane will be a perfect companion to any outfit. Their traditional construction makes them incredibly versatile. They come in six beautiful colors to help you achieve any look you’re going for! For only $22.00, you cannot just have one pair!

STUDS
Studs, spikes, zippers, and buttons can edge up any look instantly! This dark wash denim from Forever 21 uses studding along the side to add interest and rock and roll. For only $14.93, these are a total steal!
More of a country girl than a rocker? Studs and buckles will make you look like more of a tough cowgirl than a damsel in distress. These boots from UrbanOG do just that, with a reasonable price of $45.80!
These bright boots from Modcloth have an awesome fur lining that extends to the outer edges of the boot. The color and material of the boot give off a rainy-day feel, while the fur shows you’re ready for snow, too! $59.99
FUR This navy sweater with fur accent from SheInside is the perfect example of something to throw on and not think twice. The dark neutral color is perfect for fall and winter. The fur piece on the shoulder has a lot of color contrast, let alone textural contrast. For only $52.16, this sweater is a lot cheaper than its runway competitors, and will have everyone assuming you took a lot more time putting together your outfit than you actually did!

Career Advice Magazine Staff Taking the World by Storm Here at IC
Who: Anissa Richmond; Co-Editor-in-Chief Where: Macy’s.com in their Marketing Strategy Department; New York City Major: Integrated Marketing Communications Minor: Writing Year: 2013 What tasks did you perform on a typical day? I was able to see the life cycle of projects from building new beauty lines into the site, to the production and design of emails. I presented my findings on competitor’s social media strategies and helped make recommendations on how to improve Macy’s initiatives. On Tuesdays, I participated in “Intern Tuesdays” where all 100 Macy’s interns gathered to learn about the opportunities within the various departments, as well as ask questions about the industry. I also participated in a summer long retail industry related project that we presented to Macy’s and Bloomingdale’s executives at the end of the summer. What was the biggest lesson you learned while there? The biggest lesson I learned at Macy’s is the importance of networking. I think that’s something people always talk about,
62
but it isn’t until you’re in a true corporate setting that you see what a difference networking makes. I worked hard to make connections with every person I came into contact with and stay true to myself in the process. Who: Alicia Gallen; Co-Editor-in-Chief Where: Seventh House PR/Showroom 7 as their Accessories Public Relations Intern; New York City Major: Journalism Minors: Integrated Marketing Communications and Writing Year: 2013 What tasks did you perform on a typical day? Everyday varied but my main job was to help get our clients products into magazines and onto celebrities. So, I constantly had to check my e-mail and pick out the pieces that would match the magazine editors inspiration for their photoshoots. I also helped organized the showroom, wrote press releases, researched press opportunities for our clients, pitched press ideas, assisted in pulls, and helped with events including New York City Fashion Week.
Did something about the office standout? I only had experience working with a small company (I previously did PR for a jewelry company) so it was an adjustment moving to a big company that is bi-coastal, has a lot of employees, and has many clients. However, it was a bad change- it was really fun constantly meeting people, bouncing ideas off of each other, and working together on projects. There was never a dull moment so it’s hard to decide whether a smaller company is more ideal over a bigger place. I think both have pros and cons and I hope I can experience both after I graduate. Who: Suzanna Slavin- Fashion Director Where: Mom + Pop Music; New York City Major: Integrated Marketing Communications Year: 2013 Did something about the office standout? I knew the moment I walked into that office that I was surrounded by a group of extremely talented and intelligent individuals, and those were the kind of people that I wanted to be around all summer. The intimate environment allowed me to interact with everyone, including the owner, which then lead me to the wonderful position I landed. Seeing the inner workings of how a record label actually works could only happen with real hands-on learning, and I personally don’t think you would get the same kind of experience at a larger label.
What’s your next step? All I hope is that I continue to have the same drive and ambition as I did in the beginning of the summer to work towards expanding my future. I opened the door to a path that can lead me in a ton of different directions. Side Note: Suzanna was hired full-time at Mom + Pop and will be finishing her senior year in New York City this Spring! Who: Carl Heyerdahl; Head of Photography Where: Francesca Blanchard, a French singer from Vermont Major: BFA (Cinema, Photography, and Visual Arts) Year: 2016 What tasks did you perform on a typical day? I produced a music video, did multiple album cover shoots as well as promotional photo shoots. I also went to most of her live shows and recorded her live. What was the biggest lesson you learned while there? I learned that you really have to double check everything when shooting, for example when I was a live show once I forgot to turn on my mic for the first two songs.

O
f the 184 people I’m currently following on Twitter, about 67 of them are fashion and beauty brands. I counted. 67 handles run by people that I don’t know and probably will never meet. And yet, I religiously tweet @JCrew whenever I’m wearing a piece from the store, and favorite the witty tweets from @UrbanOutfitters, I live for Christopher Bailey’s #MusicMonday from @ Burberry. I’m even more tuned in on Instagram, with a whopping 30 of the 70 people I’m following being fashion brands. I obsessively “like” pre fall pictures from @Zac_Posen, and I can always count on a solid Throwback Thursday picture from @Gap. In my head, I’m part of the design team, or at the
show, or in the office. Social media puts me in the trenches of fashion, and lets me see a world that I’d only dreamed of in the past. It’s my backstage pass to the industry. It’s only recently that the fashion industry began to understand how influential its presence on social media could truly be. This fall’s New York Fashion Week

saw twice as many tweets as last year, boasting over 670,000 tweets about the event. People all over the world contributed to the Twitter buzz, and spread individual brands’ awareness. More
brands joined in on the trend of broadcasting their runway shows live, with Dior accumulating 54 million video views of their collection. Solely having a Facebook page is no longer enough, as consumers have begun to expect access to the brands they frequent. This year alone, many ready-to-wear and luxury brands alike have created profiles on Instagram, and started tweeting in addition to their presence on Facebook. The most successful fashion brands are the ones that are transparent with their customers, and engage them in conversations. The likes of Diane von Furstenburg, Tory Burch, and Rachel Roy all search for organic ways to communicate online. If consumers aren’t getting the information about a brand from the brand, they will search for it somewhere else. Social media in fashion also offers the ability to reach a highly
targeted group of consumers that are invested in a brand. A brand’s followers on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram are brand loyal, and are looking for more ways to connect. When done correctly, a brand’s social media voice can greatly impact a consumer’s decision to buy. Brand’s like Kate Spade and Michael Kors boast consumer contests and promotions on their Facebook pages and are notorious for answering customer questions on the page. Some brands even create special offers and coupons for their followers, creating a sense of exclusivity. While no two brands integrate the same strategies, one thing is for certain; customers want relevant and organic content that is updated regularly. Todays fashion consumer is savvy and can tell when a tweet is pre-planned and stale as compared to one that is spawned authentically. Creativity plays a huge part in the influence of social media on fashion. Pinterest, one of the latest social platforms, allows users to “pin” images of their
as a way to communicate character and brand image. The truth of the matter is that social media platforms come and go. It’s not so long ago that MySpace was popular instead of antiquated, and you had to ask your mom before making a profile. Social media sites are changing and evolving everyday, and it won’t be long before the Facebook as we know it now is a thing of the past. Just like technology, fashion doesn’t live in a vacuum, and is completely dependent on the trends and happenings of the real world. As technology evolves, consumers expect more, and the fashion industry must respond. Brands can no longer Kate Spade, ASOS, and Anthromake clothes behind closed pologie. These brands have a doors and expect customers to distinct fashion point of view want them. Today’s consumer and focus on pins that speak craves more from fashion brands to their brands. Just like many than just being told what to wear, other types of social media, the fashion industry is still trying to they want to have a say in the process—or at least feel as if they figure out how to quantify and do. The hottest trend in fashion? monetize this platform. Brands have contests and sweepstakes on Social media of course. • Anissa Richmond Pinterest, but most use it purely choosing to live self-created boards. Pinterest is the inspiration board of every fashionishta and designers dreams, allowing users to create a collage of all the things that speak to their fashion voice.

less of what they were paired with, colored jeans can add a much-needed pinch of spice to your wardrobe, as the weather gets cooler. These brights can be dressed up or down with heels or a blazer and can be worn to class or out at night! Colored denim can make you look high fashion, but feel comfortable like you’re in your favorite old blue jeans. Our favorite colored skinnies right now are a soft mint and a bright coral. It’s one trend we love seeing Here @ IC.
Trend: Colored Denim This semester colored denim followed IC students back to campus, and worked as the perfect transition piece from summer to fall. Bright denim acts as a focal point in any outfit, and allows you to stand out from the crowd. Denim is usually looked at as a traditional material, and the vibrant colors that have been trending on campus step up this fabric to the next level. We saw colored denim used in multiple ways, all of the fabulous. Some students paired their brights with complementary colors, incorporating the color blocking trend. Others mixed and matched their jeans with prints like polka dot and florals. Regard-

Trend: Studs
By: Alicia Gallen
The look of having studs on your clothing used to insinuate dressing Goth or wrongfully still using your Bedazzler. That was only a few years ago, but now it’s safe to say studs are a trend that is here to stay for a LONG time. Don’t start looking for your nearest Hot Topic store, now studs are being punched onto classic and sophisticated looks. Ithaca College students have embraced this trend- on purses, shoes, shirts, shorts; you name it- it’s studded! But here at HFS Magazine we love this trend and hope that it continues popping up on our Here at IC pages! Small, square, rounded, gold, silver, etc… the list
goes on and on with the possibilities when it comes to color and size of the nail heads that should be studding pieces of your wardrobe. You don’t even have to spend what little money you have on this trend; it can be a DIY project. Or check out Flower Fox at flowerfoxdenim.tumblr.com and see how the company’s creator Julie Himmel can stud any type of denim you want. She has a gallery full of examples or you can work with her to create your own… great Holiday gift idea! • Anissa Marin
