A LETTER FROM THE EDITORS

MAD Mode was the creation of lots of caffeine, all-nighters, and teamwork. We strove to make our creation great, and it succeeded. I’m so proud of how far we have come. However, I am also excited to see where it will go when we hand it off. I know the next generation of MAD Mode heads will take our magazine further than it has gone before.

Catherine:

This issue is bittersweet. As the school year comes to an end, so does our time at MAD MODE. We began as a pair of roommates with some wonderful volunteers, friends, and our own wardrobes. I’m so happy that I witnessed an idea flourish and grow.

Kate:

The Rock Issue highlights grunge, punk, and rock aesthetics. Fashion is often thought of as influenced by wealthy designers, haute couture, and from behind closed doors. However, these styles originate from everyday people–the majority. We’d like to celebrate this.
