Fashion is an emotion. Fashion is a feeling of empowerment and confidence.

In late February of 2017, I was stuck at a crossroads in my personal life. After living a virulent two years in college, it left me with a hole. Having lost myself and my ambitions amidst the stress and chaos, it left me sitting there with one simple question: How do I find myself again?

And so began the search. Conversation with multiple

peers lead me to discover, college has a way of deterring

you, often losing yourself amongst the everyday stressors of young adulthood. So clearly, it is not just me who is

drained and lost. The consensus was- we had no place to creatively thrive. Which brought me to my next

question: What is a way I can not only elevate my life of creation, but others? There was no platform for fashion

students to get creative exposure at a state university in Southwest Missouri. Fashion is a topic left untouched.

The conversation was nonexistent, only offering a “that is really cool” when a student learns you’re majoring in Fashion Design or Fashion Merchandising.

That is when Sartorial was born. I wanted to bring a

platform to Missouri State to expose the creatives that

dwell here. Our students work tirelessly in many areas,

but the more creatives seem to be the least discussed.

Fashion is so much more than clothing, fashion is how

you live, it is culture, it is something that pushes you to do better everyday.

The resources are abundant, the fashion community is

ever growing in Springfield, Missouri, and the Midwest as a whole. The only issue is tapping those resources,

and I feel so strongly that Sartorial has found the perfect formula to keep the conversation around fashion

alive. I hope that Sartorial gives creatives, students,

and everyone alike to express themselves through the

love of breathtaking imagery, creative direction with an

unmatched level of drive and grit, and of course, fashion.

We are fashion, we are grit, we are ambitious.

We are Sartorial.

Inside Lucid Living

By Anthony Nam

In his Senior collection, Aaron went from classic street style to a more upscale technical style, and offered plenty of movement in his statement pieces. A big trend that has shown itself in street style is the overall, whether, you’re wearing a corduroy or a denim, overalls have brought itself back into our style. Pairing a mock turtleneck sweater with a pair of overalls is a quick fashionable style for the day, and you can style your overalls even further by fastening only one strap and letting the other hang, or even not fastening either strap and securing the overall by using the straps as a belt. In Aaron’s overalls he

created a classic distressed denim, and offered movement in his pieces with his fringe side seams. Easily making, anyone in these overalls a head turning in the streets of any city. Streetwear can be sourced from a variety of places. For some, that may be a local thrift store, an online retailer, or even recycled fashion. After the perfect piece is found, you can either throw that new piece on and start your day, or even take that piece and refashion it into something that screams you. That’s what St. Louis based designer, Connor Jordan did when he brought Lucid Living Clothing to life. He told us, “I started designing so that people PHOTOGRAPHER

could purchase quality items for a reasonable price.” Quality isn’t defined by the price tag.

Lucid Living embodies classic street wear with its distressed denim pieces and it’s custom print t-shirts. Taking a classic denim jacket, and refashioning it with embellishments, a new lining, or even distressing the original garment can help make for the perfect finishing touch.

Connor does a mixture of flat pattern work to take thrifted items and refashion them into new pieces for his clients. For him, Lucid Living aims to make people aware that no matter what situation they come from, they can make their dreams a reality.

Which was true for Connor, when he had his grand opening for his store in St. Louis, on November 26, 2017. He was able to sell forty t-shirts and four pairs of jeans, and was able to make connections with people throughout

the day. Hoping to use those connections to be able to take his streetwear out of Missouri and expose his work to bigger cities.

We asked Connor, what are some of his staple streetwear pieces, and he said, “You must need a denim jacket, I think a denim jacket can be used in so many ways. It can be used to be layered with a hoodie, flannel, or a logo tee.” Everything can be seen in his own personal style, that he calls “mine.” People are able to wear the same outfit, but you can always see a piece of their own personality shining through. If you are looking for a piece of streetwear, whether that be, jackets, t-shirts, or jeans, Lucid Living Clothing offers an opportunity of quality, personality, and reasonable pricing.

JCPenney Internship by

Marissa White

Submitting countless applications, dialing follow up phone calls

daily, switching out your usual social media routine for Linked In “stalking” sessions, and preparing at least seven killer interview outfits for when the big day finally comes. Welcome to the

semester before the much anticipated internship that has helped to jump start my career with a major retailer called JCPenney.

Hello Sartorial readers! My name is Marissa White and I am

a senior Merchandising student in the fashion department at Missouri State. This is my story of my first summer working in

corporate America and the industry we know and love called retail.

I’m sure many of you have heard about the current state of department stores, malls, or brick and mortar retail in

general – anyone following our industry in the news has read the headlines questioning if this is the end as we know it.

1. Take Risks

Personally, I believe this whole industry is about taking risks and trying new things. Playing it safe is no fun anyways! I knew that in order to grow as an individual and as a

professional, I needed to apply to companies outside of my comfort zone where I could start fresh. Ending up in

Texas was a true blessing because I used this opportunity to tackle a foreign city and meet inspiring new people. It

was important to me however to remain true to myself and never lose sight of where I came from or the people I left

back in Missouri for the summer. It may seem scary at first, but remember there’s no reward without risk!

2. Make Connections

I can guarantee this isn’t the first time you’ve heard this one,

but that obviously means they’re onto something! This summer I was able to connect with business professionals and students from all over the world that I still communicate with weekly if

not more frequently. While making lifelong friends with other interns, I found lifelong mentors in the men and women who

trained me and truly care about my success. I took initiative to

meet with positions outside of my team to get a well-rounded view of the business from visual merchandising to marketing, and sourcing to product development. In the end, it’s not what you know it’s who you know.

3. Ask Questions

Believe it or not, asking questions does not show weakness!

JCPenney instilled this in all the interns from day one and it is

definitely something I have taken back home with me. Asking

questions shows curiosity, interest, and truly makes you a more

MASKS by Abbey Burns

In the winter weather your skin can be dry, cracked, and send a cry for help. Masks can rejuvenate the skin leaving it moisturized, brighter, and glowing. Whether you have naturally dry skin, oily skin, or some scars you’d like to reduce, there is a mask for you. These masks are super easy to use and you don’t need to buy a lot of product.

As a college student, I understand money is tight and no one wants to go buy a face mask for $30. We also have the fix for brittle, weak hair, and a mask for hair growth.

Hello long, beautiful beach hair! I know for this summer you want to look effortlessly chic and glowing so what are you waiting for! Here are the miraculous masks.

Dry Skin 1. 1 tbsp. Mayonnaise and 1 tbsp. Banana; mix together and rub all over face, leave on for 10 minutes and rinse with lukewarm water. Use once a week.

2. Bring 2 cups of water to a boil, then add two hibiscus tea bags and let steep, add two tbsp of agar agar and continue to whisk; let cool and apply all over face even over eyes and mouth, let dry completely and pull off. Voila! Glowing, beautiful skin. Use once a week or when needed for a glow.

Oily Skin 1. 1 tbsp. Avocado, 1 egg white, 1 tbsp.

Honey; mix and apply all over face avoiding mouth and eye area. Rinse with cool water after 10 minutes. Use once a week.

2. ½ cup oatmeal, ½ of avocado. Soak oats in water for approximately 5 minutes, while this is soaking mash up the avocado in a separate bowl. Mix the two together. Apply to face for 15 minutes then rinse with cool water. I recommend using Neutrogena OilFree moisturizer after rinsing the mask off.

Use mask once a week.

Breakouts Mask Wake up in the morning and you can

just feel it. A pimple that you suddenly woke up to. We’ve all been there, it’s college, we have stress, we have jobs, and on top we have to keep our social life.

On media that is of course. Whether you are prone to breakouts or you wake up to one randomly every so often we have the mask that zaps your zits away.

Cinnamon honey mask: Add one

teaspoon cinnamon and two teaspoons honey to a bowl and mix. Apply to damp skin and put all over avoiding the eye and mouth regions. Leave on for 10 minutes and rinse with lukewarm water. Use once a week or when the breakout hits.

Mixing honey and cinnamon together kills bacteria while also reducing redness and inflammation on the skin.

We had a chance to ask the designer some of your favorite fashion questions on her everyday style.

43

SARTOR IAL

Q Favorite Trend right now?

A Bodysuits - They seem to have made their way

and become a staple piece in everyone’s wardrobe.

Q Go-to piece?

A Statement pair of shoes (as she’s wearing pink and purple suede Fenty X Puma sneakers)

Q Trend you hope to see die?

A There are honestly so many - the maximalism

of over styling - for example a patched out denim jacket, with the destroyed jeans, with the fishnets

underneath - it’s just doing so much and its best to more simplistic at times.

Q How would you describe your design aesthetic?

A I’d say 90’s baby, grown up. I like things that are timeless as well. I try to stay away from being just

trendy, sticking to a classic style but putting my own edge on it.

44

Q Why did you choose to pursue fashion design?

A I’ve been sewing for as long as i can remember, my mom taught me when i was 10 years old.

She told me I’ve always been dressing myself,

Since i was two, i’d put on these crazy outfits. Its

something ive been wanted to do for as long as I can remember.

Q Who are your biggest inspirations and why?

A My mom is a huge inspiration, she got me into it

and taught me the basics of everything I know. I also am a huge Chanel fan, the classic look is definitely one of my favorites.

Q What does your design aesthetic have to say about the future?

A I think some people say fashion has been

dead, it’s gone from going very slow to extremely opposite, I think it’s actually very much alive. With fashion changing so rapidly, it gives an outlet for

Q Where do you hope to go in the future?

STREET MOTION by

Anthony Nam

The Midwest is bursting at the seams with creativity and passion and menswear is up and coming here in Missouri. From selftaught technical designers to designers that refashion pre-owned garments, the midwest is leaving its impact on the streetwear community. The special thing about streetwear, or any type of style you are going for, is that it’s about expressing your individuality.

For many, that means drawing inspiration from their day-to-day lives or even creating their own sense of individuality through something no one has ever seen before. Which, eventually leads to trends being created that generations after can choose to follow or become inspired by.

Alumni, Aaron Conway, created two collections that offered classic and elevated streetwear looks. His Junior collection represented comfort and style

52

53

SARTOR IAL

through the use of contrasting textiles and colors. You can see a variety of comfortable styles on the streets, and who doesn’t want to be stylish while also being able to wear joggers and a sweatshirt?

To easily elevate your style, you can take a pair of plain joggers, and pair them with a short sleeve sweatshirt with a hoodie. From that point, the last thing you need is a pair of shoes that make a statement or offer a sleek style.

In his Senior collection, Aaron went from classic street style to a more upscale, technical approach, and offered plenty of movement in his statement pieces. A big trend that has shown itself in street style is the overall. Whether, you’re wearing a corduroy or denim, overalls have brought itself back into our style.

Pairing a mock turtleneck sweater with a pair of overalls is a quick fashionable style for the day, and you can style your overalls even further by fastening only one strap and letting the other hang,

54

55

56 57

SARTOR IAL

or not even fastening either strap and securing the overall by using the straps as a belt. In Aaron’s overalls he created a classic distressed denim, and offered movement in his pieces with his fringe side seams. Easily making, anyone in these overalls a head turning in the streets of any city.

In the dynamic world of fashion, you have to be able to be able to keep up, or stay ahead of the crowd. In streetwear, your biggest statement pieces are going to be your outerwear, shoes, and prints. At the New York Fashion Week Spring/ Summer 2018 shows, the collections displayed broad shoulders and cinched waists.

Walking the streets with subtle but bold colors and a minimalist shoe, black will continue to be a staple color for all streetwear, but this Spring you can find the use of lighter colors — oranges, light pinks, and tang yellows.

Simplicity is stepping its way back into our avenues, and we’re ready for it.

Looking for a foundation that is not only good for your complexion but is also lightweight and hydrating? I found the foundation just for you! This sensational foundation was created to take dull, uneven, dry skin and turn it into perfect radiant skin with a swipe of a brush. Luxurious skin has never been more easy and affordable to manage.

Cleansing is the most important step in the skin care process. Using the liquid facial soap in mild is the best way to rid your skin of those harmful chemicals. Doing this every night before bed and when you wake up will make a drastic difference in your complexion in a matter of days. Washing away that left over makeup helps your skin radiate and breath throughout the night. Which helps your skin heal!

Wondering how to get bright luminating skin without expensive treatments? I have three words for you… Exfoliate. Exfoliate. Exfoliate.

Exfoliating is removing the dead skin cells from your face or body. When the dead skin cells are removed, not only does the new layer of skin look clean and refreshed, but it also looks healthier and more vibrant due to the increased blood flow to the skin from the extra stimulation. The Clinique 3-Step Skin Care kit keeps your skin care process to a minimum and organized with the mini sonic brush for exfoliating, mild liquid face soap, clarifying lotion for after exfoliating and Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion to use after the clarifying lotion . This set retails for $55 at any Clinique retailer and is worth the purchase.

SUNDAY SCARIES by Hannah Bogue

Plan a weekly yoga class/meditation Physique red light yoga is the class to go to if you want to feel positively-affirmed, fit, and relaxed. A mindful, warm environment is created during the physique red light yoga class. With the room heated to 90 degrees, all the toxins bogging you down will be sweat right out, all while relaxing and lengthening your muscles. The class ends with a meditation and you can walk out of the studio feeling refreshed and

you keep going back and forth between two options on how to spend the next few hours: nap to avoid all responsibilities or stare at your phone refreshing the same social media sites you just aimlessly spent the last 45 minutes looking at. Thinking about Monday and all the tasks ahead seems unnerving and just plain scary.

The Sunday scaries may make success seem far away, but I’ve got some simple ways to destress and defeat them.

Sunday night tea time A good hot cup of green tea is the perfect excuse to take 20 minutes to yourself, sit down, rewind, and refresh. The Mudhouse downtown has a huge selection of green teas to choose from. You can get the loose tea leaves make it at home or stop in and unwind in Springfield’s downtown coffeehouse.

Green tea includes several antioxidants and amino acids that help decrease stress and refresh the mind.
