Growing produce at home is the new alternative Chris Alexander Staff Writer

OR THOSE LOOKING for an alternative and relatively cheap solution to supplement produce, growing food at home is an effective job and hobby to pursue. Growing your own food shows encouragement for outdoor leisures and regulates sustaining a healthy diet. Diversifying someone’s personal diet with fruits and vegetables specific to the person’s liking and lack of vitamins shows better results than foods bought in the produce section at a regular grocery store. “I prioritize my vitamin deficiencies when picking the foods that I plan on growing,” said Cody Wold, an active gardener.

Farm to table

HOME GROWN. Stephen Hart, who has been gardening since his college years, shows off some tomatoes. Hart’s winter garden produced a bumper crop of tomatoes, some eggplants and peppers, and a large batch of broccoli. “This is the first year I have tried to grow broccoli, and I’m happy to say it worked,” said Hart.

Straight from the farm to the table foods can contain more vitamins and antioxidants than food that has been chemically modified and shipped across states just to get to the store. As far as affordability goes, the results are prevalent. According to the USDA, the

average price of store bought produce can typically weigh in between $0.71 and $3.62 per pound. Whereas seeds can average around $2.80 for a packet of 50 seeds can yield 10 to 30 pounds depending on the plant on one seed alone. “I think that having the opportunity to save money wherever we can without sacrificing our nutrition is important because we’re trying to pay for college and life expenses,” said Cait Bunkers, a junior.

Friendly to environment Taking into consideration environmentally friendliness, maintaining and growing plants in a garden at home can essentially diminish the carbon footprint one leaves behind when purchasing foods from grocery stories. Growing produce from home can also reduce fossil fuel emissions that come with the process of commercially transporting food products. Building a garden and awaiting yields of produce yet isn’t a simple task at hand. Easy starting gardens can simply contain pots or old cans, half cut milk containers, or ground beds filled with soil. The idea

is to have fast growing plants that contain high yields in produce with little effort. Due to Arizona’s fluctuating weather patterns, knowing the right foods to grow is key. Simple produce to grow in Arizona are tomatoes, peppers, corn, bean plants, basil, parsley and onion. The most ideal time to grow is in late winter to early spring in which the best time to harvest is before the summer heat kicks in, typically within a three month period. “Timing your garden properly is really important. If you don’t time it properly things won’t grow right,” Bunkers said. For more experienced gardeners, the plants that take long periods of time to grow are more ideal. Some long lasting plants are citrus trees which are the most acclimated to growing in Arizona climates and usually are harvested during the colder climates in winter. Results of home gardening show substantial increase in physical wellbeing and deluding rising changes in weather patterns. As also saving money at the grocery store.

milk alternatives expanding with new varieties David Lane News Editor

Since their inception, milk alternatives have been widely used across America. From those who are lactose intolerant to those who are just looking for dietary alternatives to regular milk, non dairy substitutes are a great choice. Oat Milk- Made by extracting milk from oats with water, oat milk is a healthy, non dairy alternative to milk. Oat milk is full of plant based proteins and is known to help with digestion. The milk has a very creamy complexion while also maintaining its distinct oat flavor. It can come in several flavors including sweetened, vanilla, and chocolate. Almond Milk- Almond milk has the fewest calo-

ries of any milk on this list. The exact amount varies depending on the brand, however, it usually lands around 40 calories per cup. The texture of almond milk is very thin compared to the creaminess of cow milk. Predictably, almond milk has a satisfactory, nutty flavor. The strength in taste of almond milk varies greatly on the brand due to some manufactures flavoring the milk to taste more like dairy milk. Coconut Milk- One of the oldest milk alternatives, coconut milk has been harvested from grating the pulp of mature coconuts for roughly 2000 years. Coconut milk has a rich deep coconut flavor and has a very creamy mouthfeel. While coconut has been made for thousands of

years, it has only been a viable replacement for milk as of recent scientific developments. Natural coconut milk is incredibly oily and has little to no nutrients in it. Most store bought coconut milk has nutrients fortified into it to make it healthier for the consumer. Soy Milk- The most common milk alternative, soy milk has remained popular in the U.S. since the 1980’s. Soy milk has remained popular for so long because the nutrients found in soy milk are very similar to those found in traditional cow’s milk. Soy milk has a mild flavor and is typically much sweeter than most other kinds of milks. Soy milk is known to be rich in omega-3 fatty acids which have been linked to a reduced risk for DON’T DRINK MILK? A little known fact about milk is that it can be good for the skin. Dairy milk contains retinol, a known anti-aging and skin restoring antioxidant. 4Cooper Lake dementia and Alzheimer’s.

Cooking with flowers: spring’s newest fad David Lane News editor

Enjoying the many tastes of the world a meal at a time Jacob Golicz Staff writer

International dishes are loved and shared among the many people that make up our society today. International cuisine refers to the foods that are commonly made and eaten around the world. Countries such as Italy, France, Turkey, Korea and the U.S. have come up with some of the most famous international dishes. “I’ve tried many foods in my lifetime, but I always come back to the Margherita Pizza,” said Erin Golicz, a cooking enthusiast. The traditional Italian pizza is one of the most famous dishes eaten in the world. One of the reasons for its popularity is the wide variety of styles and methods that can be used to make pizza. The original ingredients of pizza consisted of tomato, mozzarella and basil which represented the italian flag colors red, white, and green.

“An international dish is a food dish that has culture and the country’s past tied with it,” said Sebastian Kond, a sophomore. France is home to many popular delights and the macaron is not an exception. The macaron is a meringue-based confection made with egg white, icing sugar, granulated sugar, almond meal, and food coloring. A typical misconception is the thought that a macaron and a macaroon are similar. However, one originated in Italy and the other in France, they also look completely different. The Turkish Doner Kebab gained popularity due to the fact that it was a quick meal to make and because it was easy to travel with. This style of cooking dates all the way back to the Ottoman Empire, according to theculturetrip, a travel ecommerce brand. Most people think of meat and veggies on a stick when they hear the word kebab, which was the original idea. Until a man

named Kadir Nurman had the idea of making the dish more portable. In 1972, he put the usual kebab ingredients in a folded piece of bread and started selling them in west Berlin across from the Bahnhof Zoo. “I have never made a Kebab like that but it would be a fun dish to cook and I will try it,” Golicz said. Bulgogi, a widely known international Korean dish, is made of seasoned beef mixed with a savory sauce and mixed vegetables. In Korean, Bulgogi translates to fire meat, and is also known as Korean BBQ Beef. This dish is typically made with the tender parts of any meat such as chicken, pork, or beef. It is usually eaten with steamed rice and Kimchi, another Korean food. Every single country has dishes that are made world wide. International dishes are made to be shared with others around the world.

Adding flowers to a dish can create a professional level of presentation, and add a unique flavor and texture to any dish or beverage. Flowers such as roses and pansies are often added to salads to give it a richer composition, as well as add a sweetness to the salad, while also leaving behind a vibrant flair of their own flavor. Flowers are not limited to salads, however. They are also common in desert foods as well. While in salads, the flower takes on a fundamental role in the composition of the cuisine, in a dessert, flowers are used almost exclusively as decor to bring the natural beauty of nature to the dish. “I mostly use flowers in salads, but from my experience with eating other people's cooking, adding a flower adds a garnish to any dish with a unique flavor. You have to make sure the flavor of the flower complements but if you do it right, the results are brilliant,” said Beverly Lane, a semi-professional cook with over 50 years of experience. Among the more unique uses of flowers in dishes, flowers have been fried, candied, and even frozen. Fried courgette flowers are a particularly popular form of fried flowers, giving a contrast of healthy green flavors with the crispy texture from being deep fried. “One of my favorite things to make over the summer is a flower popsicle using roses. It tastes so refreshing in the summer when it's really hot out,” said Emme Toso, a junior. While food is a large portion of the edible delicacies flowers can be used for, they also work well in beverages. Flowers are often used to garnish cocktails and sometimes as a unique flavor to bolden others in a drink. “I love seeing the flowers people use to accentuate the colors of the drinks and add an intriguing aroma,” said Martina Lopez, a junior. Flowers add something different to dishes of all varieties. They make a great way to spice up any dish that’s bland or needs something exotic to make it extraordinary.

The ultimate pizza smackdown.

Jaden Lea

Ingredients

There’s a plethora of places that come to mind when students are determining where to eat, specifically pizza. When regarding pizza chains, there happens to be a wide variety that are go-to spots for people that live in Arizona, such as Dominos, Barro’s, Pizza Hut, and many more. Underground pizza shops are rarely mentioned amid these popular franchises.

Directions

Lorenzos

Lorenzo’s is one of the less well know pizza places, even so there’s no doubt that they excel in quality and hospitality. The one and only Lorenzo’s Pizzeria rests within the United States and can be found right here in Arizona. Located in Scottsdale, Arizona at the crossroads of Pinnacle Peak and Scottsdale Road, it’s tucked into the back wall by the USPS store. It is a family owned Italian restaurant that provides dine-in, carry-out, and delivery services, as well as food catering for special events. They are open from 10 am to 9pm Monday through Saturday, and open 11 am to 9pm on Sundays. Lorenzos has a 4.4 star rating and has received multiple reviews claiming that the food, staff, and atmosphere was authentic and amazing. They offer over 16 pizza dishes as well as the ability to customize with a variety of toppings. Pricing ranges from $13 to $25 depending on the sizes and toppings.

TJ’s Pizza and Wings

TJ’s Pizza and Wings is the other ‘hole-in-thewall’ styled pizzeria. Located on the corner of 56th street and Bell Road, TJ’s offers a variety of pizzas as well as other entrees such as wings. With 11 different pizza styles offered and the option to customize your own pizza, the pricing ranges from $10 to $25 depending on sizing and toppings. Lorenzo’s pizzeria has a welcoming and comforting interior, with a neutral colored palette and quite a few seats and booths to accompany guests. The kitchen is protected by glass, but is seethrough, which allows customers to see what the chefs are up to. There are a variety of pizzas that can be ordered, however the most common orders are single slices of pizza that are fresh and warmed up before being served to the customer. Service is wonderful and the atmosphere is very cozy and comforting to new and returning guests. TJ’s is most definitely a step down in regards to atmosphere and environment due to the cheap looking tables scattered within a small hallway. The interior is covered with white floors and white walls which gives off a “cafeteria” feel. However, customer service is great at TJ’s, and the food quality is also high quality. As far as “hole-in-the-wall” pizzerias that have decent prices and delicious food, they both perform well, however, Lorenzo’s is the clear winner in this smack down. The authentic atmosphere created inside and the slightly better quality food and service, allows for Lorenzo’s to get the advantage and earn the top spot. Both are decently close and provide wonderful services and food, however if it were a competition, then Lorenzo’s would be the winner.

It is about time to eat some pie Johnathan Geare Staff writer

There’s a reason people perfer to bake their pies instead of purchasing a premade one. While a store-bought pie can suffice, there’s nothing that can compare to the warm, flaky, goodness of this simple, fresh blueberry pie.

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees fahrenheit. Combine blueberries, lemon zest, lemon juice, and cornstarch in a large bowl. Taste a blueberry for tartness. Add more sugar for tarter berries, and less sugar for batches on the sweet side of the spectrum. Mix and mash ingredients until the sugar and blueberries combine into goo. Allow the blueberry mixture to sit and macerate for 30 minutes. Pour mixture into pie crust, before covering the top with pie dough and sealing with a fork. Poke holes in the top sheet to vent steam. Transfer pie onto baking sheet and set in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes. Reduce the heat to 350 degrees fahrenheit, and remove when the blueberries start bubbling.

Food trucks becoming hot spots for eating Variety is one of the main attractions for fans of eating on the go Sarah Love Staff writer

Food trucks have been growing in popularity due to the easy accessibility and fast service. They can be found at catering events, carnivals, and on street corners. “I think food trucks are a very efficient way to get good, fresh, food while also getting fast service,” said Lexi Wright, a junior. According to data from the U.S. Census Bureau, the number of food trucks operating in the U.S. nearly doubled from 2013 to 2018. The popularity of food trucks continues to grow rapidly for a number of reasons. One of the most obvious reasons is the food served from the food trucks tends to be fresher, and is typically made when you order it, not before. Food trucks tend to go where people are, events, fairs, farmers markets, offering a fresh, hot, and healthier option. The ingredients tend to be simpler and contain less unpronounceable chemicals that are put into a lot of the fast and convenient food that Americans consume. “Compared to a fast food joint that has the same efficient service, I think that food trucks are superior because you get the same fast service while also getting food that is cooked when served and is in a sense home made compared to how fast food

places prepare their food,” said Marissa to hotdogs to pizza, to seafood, any type of food that can be thought of can be proRaleigh, a junior.

Complimenting body shapes made easy for teens Judy Silva Food Editor

There are countless different body shapes, but the most common include rectangle, triangle, inverted triangle, round, and hourglass. “Bodies come in all shapes and sizes and you may find you don’t fit neatly into any of the four categories, or that your shape fluctuates with your weight. That’s completely normal,” said Shaw Academy, a public education provider.

Rectangular shape A rectangular body shape is typically when the shoulders and hips are nearly the same width, with an undefined waist. Dressing a rectangular body is all about balance. Fortunately, due to this body shape being the most common, all clothing tends to fit appropriately. Flare and boot cut jeans are efficient at slimming and elongating the rectangle body shape.

Triangle A triangular body shape is defined by the hips being the largest part of the

body, the waist is narrower than the hips, and the shoulders are the smallest part of the body. Sometimes referred to as a pear shape or spoon shape. Fitted or cropped shirts are recommended to accentuate the waist and tops with deep necklines can help focus on narrow shoulders. Choosing longer cuts instead of cropped styles to elongate the legs and balance out your proportions. An inverted triangle body shape is when the shoulders are larger than the waist and the hips are narrow.

Round The round body shape is overall the largest in measurement. The hips will range from slightly smaller to around the same size as the rest of the body. Tops and dresses with an a-line cut and v-necks compliment the round body shape

Hourglass The hourglass figure is the most commonly recognized and sought after body shape. The hourglass shape forms when the shoulder and hip measurements

are similar, but the waist is significantly smaller. “Baggy pants and a small shirt is always a go to combination for me because it accentuates my waist,” said Bella Price, a senior. Fitted tops such as peplum, wrap tops, blouses, and tailored tops suit the hourglass frame. Flare jeans, skinny jeans, and leggings all balance out the larger hips and shoulders. Overall, these are generic body shapes that don’t apply to everyone, but they provide a general idea of what the body looks like. What someone wears is highly dependent on if that person feels confident in what they are wearing. “You need to find what fits you and what you feel comfortable in,” said Kristen Rotenberg, a government teacher. No matter what the body shape is, if they don’t like what they are wearing or feel uncomfortable they are not going to look how they want to. Measurements are a key component to body shapes and depict what their shape is.

Sports jerseys are being seen more and more in everyday wear as there are many different ways that they can be styled. Since the weather has been colder lately, people are seen with jerseys over different types of tops. Things such as hoodies and sweaters are seen a lot under many jerseys to help with the cold.

black t-shirts. “In the winter I like to wear my jerseys over a hoodie but over the summer I usually wear one over a plain tee,” said Jacob Freedman, a senior. There is not a certain amount of ways a jersey can be worn, It just depends on the person that is wearing it. Many people wear them under another long sleeve button down or a flannel. “I like to wear my basketball and foot-

ball jerseys over different colored sweaters and hoodies depending on the occasion,” said Taylor Lundquist, a student at the University of Arizona. Girls have been converting their jerseys into a crop top or a shorter shirt by tying a rubber band or hair tie around some of the jersey at the bottom. “I like tying my jerseys in the back and pairing them with jean shorts,” said Isabella Barlow, a senior. Many times different jerseys are seen with different types of bottoms. According to Cosmopolitan, soccer jerseys are seen with track pants and joggers, while basketball jerseys are usually seen over a jersey because of the way the jersey is fitted. Jerseys can be styled up or down. For a fancier sports event, a jersey could be worn with a nice pair of jeans and and heels. Fans are also often seen wearing jearseys stylishly for games and other events to show support. Hockey jerseys are usually a little bit bigger fitting because of the padding that is usually fitted with them, but nonetheless doesn’t stop them from wearing them over hoodies and large sweaters. Hockey jerseys are seen a lot when skiing or snowboarding, they are currently a trend to wear when on the mountain. “It’s cool to see students expressing themselves by showing the sports teams they like,” said Kristen Rotenberg, a government and economics teacher. There are many other ways to style one of your own jerseys, it is just up to the person and the rest of the fit they wear.

Students add modifications to cars Jaden Lea Tech Editor

Car modifications are becoming more popular amongst students due to the enjoyment and community that grows through a passion for cars, and aftermarket parts. There are a plethora of modifications that can be done to cars. Some for aesthetics, others for performance or noise. The most common car modification that is seen throughout vehicles is modified exhausts. These usually contain a smaller, and or no muffler.

Loud for a reason Compared to factory vehicles, which contain a large muffler to keep noise levels down. Some may be curious about the importance of this and why someone would make their car louder on purpose. “My favorite mod on my car is my exhaust because it makes the car sound so much more aggressive and makes my driving experience much more enjoyable”, said

Matt Coggins, a senior. As far as exterior modifications and parts to increase the aesthetic of a vehicle, there are a variety of aftermarket parts that can change the entire look of a car. Some of these mods include side skirts, front lips, rear diffusers, new wheels/ tires, different hoods, etc.

Carbon fiber looks aggressive There are different textures/patterns that aftermarket parts can come in, the most common being carbon fiber. People replace stock parts (as in parts that the car comes with from the factory) for a more aggressive or nice looking part. For example, a stock hood is commonly replaced with a carbon fiber hood as it allows for better performance as well as looks more aggressive. Some find performance more important and modify components of their engine. Some of these modifications are a cold air intake, bigger intercooler, downpipe/

headers, charge pipe, also known as the ‘full bolt ons’. “ My favorite part about modding my car is getting the satisfaction out of working on it and finishing it “, said Hunger Larson, a car enthusiast. These are meant to make the car perform better as well as increase horsepower and torque, which are measurements for how fast/quick a car is. There are many different types of ‘builds’ at the school, some being built to look nice, and others built to perform well. There are also some builds that have both attributes. “I love to see the build finally come together and finally see all the time and effort I’ve put into making my car into my THE CSPRESS own”, said Nicki Dimitri, a drift performer. Modifying vehicles is a way to make the everyday driving experience much more enjoyable. Whether exterior, interior, performance, or aesthetic, there is a car community with enthusiasts all around.

With the influx of fast fashion brands, resellers, and high inflation rates, thrift stores have had to adapt by increasing their prices. Goodwill, Savers, and Salvation Army are a few of many widely known thrift stores across the United States. Thrift store prices have been rising at noticeable rates due to many factors. As more and more people buy from these thrift stores, it causes there to be a larger demand resulting in prices being increased. The main contributor is the U.S. inflation rate being the highest it has been in nearly four decades. With the high inflation rates means high prices for everything. An increased amount of people are attempting to be frugal by buying secondhand products. “I shop second hand because thrift stores provide used and reliable products for cheap,” said Cara Waldum, a senior. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there have been persistent supply and labor shortages and strong demand. The sizable demand is the cause of consumers finally gaining the confidence to go back to stores again after being at home for most of 2020. This wave of people then start regularly shopping at local thrift stores or other local boutiques. With notoriety comes popularity, and that means exceeding amounts of new customers.

There are roughly 150 species in the Opuntia family of cacti with prickly pear making up a subgroup. Most varieties of prickly pear cacti have lots of spines and flat, fleshy paddles. Certain species have no spines at all such as the Ellisiana prickly pears. Other members of the Opuntia genus are unique due to their clusters of fine, tiny, barbed spines called glochids. The Opuntia ficus-indica is the most commonly found prickly pear species, and it is a frequently seen plant amongst gardens in desert climates, as well as being habitually used as an ingredient in adobe for housing.

Ingredients

12 oz. low-sodium SPAM 3 large eggs 1/3 cup shredded monterey jack cheese 1 pinch pepper

Steps

Cut 12 oz. low-sodium SPAM into ¼ inch cubes. Cut SPAM into strips, then cubes. Beat 2 eggs in a small mixing bowl until completely beat. Mix the eggs thoroughly, stop when the mixture begins to froth. Heat up a large nonstick skillet over medium temperature, and once hot begin adding eggs followed by the cubed SPAM.Stir constantly to avoid sticking. Divvy up the skillet into two halves, pushing the spam and beaten eggs to one side. Crack a third egg on the other side, being careful not to pop the yolk. Add pepper to taste. Cover the skillet with foil to allow the yolk to cook and the SPAM to brown. Serve on a plate or in the skillet. Pop the yolk and mix the SPAM and eggs to stop overcooking.

the sharp needles. Along with these desert animals, humans have also been seen eating prickly pears for years. The fruit produced is edible, but the outer layer must be removed entirely before consumption. The outer layer can be easily peeled off after an incision with a knife. It is recommended when handling the pear cactus to wear gloves for protection against the needles. The fruit’s flavor is sweet and floral, sometimes compared to a melon. Other pear cactus fruits can be described as bitter depending on the species. When trying to pick the ripest prickly pear it is important to look for firm skin, and no signs of decay such as soft spots, mold, or bruises. For example, red cac-

tus fruit or tunas rojas, when ripe, should have a deep red color with no green. “One of my favorite things to do with prickly pears is to make them into jams for my neighbors,” said Molly Betcher, a senior. The prickly pear fruit can be prepared into a variety of foods, jams, syrups, and drinks. One of which is called Agua de Tuna, which consists of orange juice, prickly pear fruit, and agave syrup. The fruit can also be made into a jelly, using ingredients like fruit pectin, the prickly pear fruit, lemon juice, and white sugar. With winter coming to a close new prickly pears are expected to start poping up all over the desert.

Month of March dedicated to Women’s History Judy Silva food editor

WOMEN’S HISTORY MONTH is celebrated every March by Americans all around the country to honor the contributions made by women in history. “Women have been seen fighting for decades and having a month dedicated to these brave people is the least we can do for representation,” said Amanda Romain, a woman who celebrates women’s history month.

Throughout American history women have faced a multitude of obstacles and prejudice, but continued to fight the patriarchy. In the beginning, Women’s History Month was only a week-long celebration starting on March 8 and it was intentionally planned to correspond with International Women’s Day. International Women’s day is a global celebration of the cultural, social, economic, and political achievements of women in history. Along with IWD, Women’s History Month is celebrated all over the globe by various different nations and communities around the world.

Celebrating Women

The day of celebration gained traction resulting in an increase in popularity amongst the states. Women’s

History Week was lengthened to a whole month after being petitioned by the National Women’s History Project. The Library of Congress, a branch of congress designated for research, states that “Congress passed additional resolutions requesting and authorizing the President to proclaim March of each year as Women’s History Month.” Presidents have issued a group of annual proclamations that continue to designate March as Women’s History Month. These proclamations from the President are to honor the contributions women have made to the United States. “It is really important that as a society we continue to spread the contributions of women that made the United States what it is for women today,” said Katie Lizarraga, a junior.

Feminism in America

Susan B. Anthony was an abolition activist, and a woman that will forever go down in history as someone who played a pivotal role in the Women’s Suffrage movement. It shows recognition about the specific achievements women have made over the course of American history in a multitude of other fields. Another important figure in the Women’s Suffrage movement was Elizabeth Cady Stanton. Elizabeth was an author, lecturer, and chief philosopher

of academics since November of 2021, and will become the official assistant principal of academics for next year. Angela Pantilione has been interim dean of students since November as well, and will be taking on next year as the Assistant Principal of Student Activities. A new admin will also be joining CCUSD next year. Drew Ammon will be signing in next year as the Athletic Director.

of women’s rights; she formulated the agenda for women’s rights that guided the movement. One of those accomplishments that women fought for and earned is to have all rights and responsibilities of citizenship. “It is important to recognize the trials and tribulations women have gone through to get where we are today, but we still have a lot more to do regarding the patriarchy,” said Isabella Goldberg, a senior.

Fashion Week returns to Milan Cait Bunkers guest writer

Milan fashion week spotlighted 2022’s fall and winter styles from February 22 through 28. “I’m looking forward to seeing fall and winter trends this year because I have a feeling there will be new items of clothing that are going to pop up from years before and they will become big again,” said Kailin Silbert, a junior. Fashion weeks provide new, unique trends that contribute new ideas to the fashion industry. This provides excitement to an industry that some are concerned may suffer from overexposure. While fashion critiquing used to be reserved for a limited audience, celebrity outfits are now examined by tabloids and the general public. One of the unique collections revealed during fashion week is Matthieu Blazy’s first collection for the brand Bottega Veneta. Blazy began his career as the men’s designer for Raf Simons, and built his portfolio with Maison Martin Margiela, Céline, and Calvin Kline before replacing Daniel Lee as Bottega Veneta’s creative director. Bottega Veneta bags and shoes are handcrafted in Italy by artisans. The brand has a local store at the Scottsdale Fashion Square mall. Fashion weeks offer opportunities for the world to connect through their passion for style. Each style showcased during fashion week highlighted designers’ personal styles and inspirations. Fashion has the capability to inspire wearers. “Fashion is the freedom to wear whatever you want because it is your body and your canvas to paint… I think that is just lovely and where the true beauty lies,” said Celeste Dodd, a Starbucks barista. All in all, Milan fashion week spotlighted seasoned designers, those new to the industry, and everyone in between.

Patriarchy Today

The beliefs that the patriarchy has ingrained into the minds of people today still affect women currently. Up until 1920, women were treated as property by white males and were viewed to only be of value if they remained an obedient wife and a mother who produced offspring. In the 1900’s, a woman’s legal standing relied on their marital status. She had no control over her biological reproduction, and no right to sue or be sued due to having no separate standing in court. A woman had no right to own property in her own name or to pursue a career of her choice. Women could not vote, serve on juries, or hold public office. In the eyes of the Supreme Court members, women were not “persons” under the Fourteenth Amendment.
