Fashion Starts with Fringe this Season
Fashion starts with This Season Fringe
It’s as if the fashion world knew of our western roots — fringe is in this 2021-2022 fashion season from dresses to jackets and even accessories.
Good guess is that you, your parents or grandparents have something fringed tucked away somewhere. The hunt is on.
Whether on structured blazers, stringy bodices or woven into knitwear, you’re likely ahead of the curve this season just by opening some closet doors.
Showing this season is fringe on sarong skirts, purses, scarves and sleeves. Blunt fringe haircuts are even on the hair scene. Q
And just to get us more excited, the head-totoe denim trend popularized this fall continues. Winter brings a patchwork look, making denim the perfect material to play with.
Although thinking geometric (which is also a thing this season), there’s mixing and matching in the patchwork trend for various fabrics and leathers.
Fashion houses, writers and other style-trend afi cionados have somewhat diff ering opinions on what the height of fashion is for the winter 2021-2022 season, so beyond fringe and denim, here are their fundamentals:
* Knit * Quilted * Puff er * Faux fur * Shearling * One piece
One piece? Hmmm … From the sci-fi look to the catsuit look, you’ll likely be depending on leggings (also a current fashion must) to tie together your look. If you favor runway fashion, the versatility of a onesie or futurewear certainly will catch someone’s eye.
The runways also featured cutouts or peekaboo style on long-sleeve dresses, tops and jumpsuits with sleek slits around the shoulders, waist and hips (there’s that catsuit like attire again). Rhinestones, feathers and sequins joined the parade.
Perhaps to get us all out of any doldrums we fi nd ourselves in, bright colors should decorate you this season. Bright-red outerwear and baby-pink purses done in imitation fur, yellow dresses and orangeon-orange whatever are sure to keep us merry and bright well into the new year.
If bold colors aren’t your thing, the fashion world suggests bringing out your shine with metallic and latex infl uenced clothing, whether through a super-shiny trench coat, tailored suit or low-slung trousers.
If you’re on the run (or just having a bad hair day), fashion 2021-2022 favors balaclavas, baseball caps and headscarves.
Still, there’s a practical approach through the use of lots of bundling of winter accessories from down scarves and throws to fuzzy mittens, hats and boots.
Speaking of boots. Be gone ankle boots, instead embrace knee-high boots. Croc-embossed and black suede are especially favored. Other footwear ranges from platforms to cozy slides to shearling-lined suede sandals to two-toned loafers to retro ‘70s clogs.
Partner those knee-high boots with miniskirts — yes miniskirts, even in the winter.
Plaid skirts are being paired with cable knit cardigans, fi tted blazers and turtlenecks. Tights worked well to keep you warmer and still be in fashion. Try a terrycloth miniskirt for comfortable coziness.
Even fl oral miniskirts are being worn this winter as long as you’ve got an oversized jacket and perhaps cowboy boots to go with it (and tights or leggings — it is cold after all).
Happy Styling!

ERAU Enrollment Prompts Expansion Planning
Continually increasing on-campus enrollment is prompting the Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Board of Trustees to consider signi cant campus construction and expansion in coming years. is fall, enrollment reached more than 3,200 students in undergraduate and graduate programs.
One major construction need being discussed is a new residence hall. Also under consideration is demolition of the decades-old student union building and construction of a new one.
A need also exists for a new aeronautical complex and a propulsion laboratory. ese and other expansion plans were announced during the Sept. 29 ERAU Board of Visitors meetings.
Board members were told the ERAU engineering program continues to receive exceptionally high rankings. Nationally, undergraduate electrical engineering programs ranked 7th; undergraduate mechanical engineering program, 11th; and undergraduate computer engineering, 14th. ey also were told that U.S. News and World Report rated the ERAU Prescott campus “No. 1 in the National Best College for Veterans.” It also was rated No. 2 overall as “Best Regional Colleges in the West.”
Enrollment in the aviation program has increased dramatically because of the dire need for commercial pilots. Presently, more than 900 students are enrolled in that program. New aircraft — 35 of them — were added to the ight training eet to accommodate new students. e intercollegiate athletic program also continues to grow. Men’s baseball will begin this spring as part of the Cal-Pac Conference spring sports program, said Phil Hess, interim athletic director.
Richard Hernandez to State Econ Dev Group
Longtime executive director of the Yavapai College Regional Economic Development Center Richard Hernandez has been elected to the Arizona Association of Economic Development (AAED).
As a member of that 14-member board, Hernandez will represent central and northern Arizona in sharing thoughts about economic development needs representative of their communities.
Board President Lori Collins from Mesa said: “ e board members represent a cross-section of our statewide membership. As voices of economic development through Arizona, AAED will bene t strongly from the expertise and point of view board members provide. I’m thrilled to welcome Richard to the board.”
Hernandez continues at Yavapai College, where he has held his current role since 2017. Previously, he was a business analyst and counselor at YC.
Hernandez said he endorses the mission of the group “to serve as a unifying voice advocating for responsible economic development through professional education, public policy and collaboration.”
“I am honored to serve on the AAED board,” he said. “ is is an organization of economic development professionals who make a di erence. I am in respected company, and I will do my best to contribute. I am especially motivated to impact quality of life issues in our rural communities. is is a lot of opportunity and plenty to do. I am excited to get started.”

ERAU Creates New Unique College
When Embry Riddle Aeronautical University-Prescott created a new academic unit this fall called the College of Business, Security, and Intelligence (CBSI), it founded the only college of its type in the nation. e new college is the result of combining of what previously had been the College of Security and Intelligence with the School of Business.
Chancellor Anette Karlsson said demand for increased awareness of the interrelationship of business, security and cybersecurity prompted the major makeover. She and her colleagues formally announced the change during the annual meeting of the ERAU Board of Visitors Sept.29.
At that same time, Karlsson introduced omas Drape, Ph. D., as the interim dean of CBSI.
Karlsson said “real world” industry partners during the past year had endorsed the concept of the new college. ey thought bene ts through a merger of business with intelligence and security and then multidisciplinary melding of content will result in stronger degree programs. For example, by linking cybersecurity and aviation business to fraud investigation in forensic accounting; and global security in supply management and business analytics with machine learning, students will enter internships and job opportunities with exceptional skill levels.
Drape echoed Karlsson, saying that security and business are intrinsically linked. “ e faculty is having dynamic conversations with other faculty, students and industry about how we can strengthen the role of physical and cybersecurity in global supply chains and in meeting needs for lessons in anticounterfeiting, brand protection and digital forensics.” Drape, a 20-year veteran of the U.S. Air Force, has been a professor at ERAU since 2015. He previously had been chair of the graduate and MBA programs for the School of Business at Azusa Paci c University in California. e new college will be the fourth, joining the College of Aviation, the College of Engineering and the College of Arts and Sciences. Students will be able to select from among 25 undergraduate degrees and three graduate degrees from among the four colleges.
More details are available online at www.prescott.erau.edu and then by dropping down to the “College of Business, Security, and Intelligence” option.
Yavapai College Exploring FourYear Degrees
When the Arizona Legislature passed Senate Bill 1453 and House Bill 2523 to permit Arizona Community colleges to o er four-year degrees if they meet all requirements, the YC governing board immediately began reviewing such opportunities.
Yavapai College President Lisa Rhine has named a group to review the feasibility of launching four-year degree programs.
Rhine has asked Diane Ryan, vice president of academic a airs, to head the working group. It will include key people from various college programs and departments. Rhine said that once potential degrees are identi ed, it will require thorough analysis and review by the governing board, by the Higher Education Learning Commission and by the Department of Education.
Yavapai College is one of only three community colleges in Arizona that increased in student enrollment this past fall. In 2020, YC enrollment had dropped to 6,009. However, this fall, it increased to 7,526, one of the highest percentage increases of any community college in Arizona. e only other two colleges to show enrollment increases were Central Arizona College in Coolidge, which went from 4,778 in 2020 to 6,073 in 2021; and Arizona Western College in Yuma, which increased from 6,930 in 2020 to 8,368 in 2021.
Rhine said the enrollment increase seems to document the growing demand for higher education throughout Yavapai County: “We are happy to provide a ordable and accessible opportunities to students, and we anticipate expanding even further the kinds and types of programs we o er.”
