HOW SHE WEARS IT FALL/WINTER 2016-17
LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
Rose Stevenson Editor-in-Chief
Style is influenced by anything and everything. Like Art, it is a way of expressing ourselves and like the seasons, it changes a little bit everyday. I think style is fascinating because it is so unique. We are all inspired by different things: some art affects us and some doesn’t, same with music or food. One’s taste is so individual that when a group is inspired by a similar movement, we can see how each one interprets their inspiration and this is how one instrument becomes part of a symphony. Gwyneth Paltrow once said that if fashion didn’t exist, we would all be naked. I think the idea beyond that is that fashion guides style and taste. Taste, good or bad is merely a representation of who we are, of what we care for. Some care very little, some too much and frankly, that’s all right. This season, we will see many different directions within the brights, pastels, darks and neutrals but one concept seems to bring every movement together; abstraction. Nothing will be too clear; it’s all about the thought, the mood, the inspiration, not the fact. This season, it’s not about the destination, it’s about the journey.
