April 2022: The Pop Culture Issue

Page 12

Happy spring, readers. Thread is back with another pop culture issue, in which our entire staff gets to show off our incessant love and adoration for certain shows, films, celebrities, music styles, and more, all through the lens of fashion and culture. If you’re like me, and a good majority of the staff, pop culture dominates your life. I view my relationships, my big life moments, and even mundane occurrences through the references of my favorite films, shows, celebrities, and more. We love to do our pop culture issue each semester because it’s a way for us to dive deeper into the content we really love. Every aspect of this issue is a piece of pop culture we love; and because we love Thread and our readers, we want to share these pop culture loves of ours with you through one jam-packed issue. In Seams, our celeb style this issue honors two of the most memorable trendsetters with basketball star Dennis Rodman (P.22) and actress and model Farrah Fawcett (P.24). For our profiles, we honored the late 12 | THREAD

André Leon Talley and his incomparable contributions to fashion and journalism (P.42), and the always relevant Andrew Garfield and his recent projects (P.48). In DIY, we’ve got you covered with ’90s style iron-on shirts (P.56), skincare for those on the go (P.58), and a cosmopolitan in honor of the Sex and the City reboot (P.64). Additionally, our Middle of the Book shoots vary from specific shows and films to broader concepts, from Music Video Looks that have made a home in our heads (P.86) to Schitt’s Creek, the family comedy that took the world by storm (P.128). In Back of the Closet, find out which Disney Channel Original Movie you are (P.158) and how to be your own main character (P.188). Additionally, our PR Chief Amy Szmik and I both worked on features that discuss two topics impacting mental health through pop culture: high school nudity in media (P.164) and romanticizing toxic and unhealthy relationships in media (P.172). We’re thrilled to bring you

these stories, shoots, and every other facet of content connected with this issue. Don’t forget as you’re reading the magazine, either in print or digitally, to check out our website and social media for more content, both unique to this issue and behind the scenes for this issue. Now sit back, relax, and enjoy Thread: the pop culture edition.

Much Love,
