How students should style themselves outside the classroom, in the office CARLEEANN ALLEN Assoc. Arts & Life Editor carleeanna@smu.edu Students applying for internships watch their email inboxes while sitting on pins and needles. They’re hoping, praying, for the familiar ding alerting them of an incoming message. It finally comes, and they nervously read the first few words of the message. You got it. You got the internship. You start Monday.

Now onto the real problem: What in the world should interns wear?

Transitioning from everyday clothes to professional wear can be a tricky maneuver for college-age women. The fear of looking like Hillary Clinton in a pantsuit is enough to cause anyone to lose sleep. So how does a 21 year old look professional in the office and still let her personal style shine through?

SMU alumna Chelsea Parker works as a senior stylist and custom specialist at Trunk Club in Dallas. She suggests that women start with the basics; the essential pieces of professional wear that every woman needs.

Nude pumps, a structured leather bag, a silk blouse and a tailored blazer are the first items you need to own when entering the professional world.

“The most important piece of dressing for work is the necessity to recognize that appearance matters, and how you portray that depends on your audience,” Parker said.

So instead of feeling stifled by the

Cropped black pants can be fun with zipper detailing.

Detailing on collars make the typical outfit look chic.

stereotypical office look of a white blouse and black skirt, buy essential pieces that show a bit of your style. When working with clients, Parker says, she often looks to brands like Theory, Vince, Diane Von Furstenberg, Joie and Splendid for trendy, professional attire.

By selecting the right cut of a blazer, collar of a blouse or designer name behind a bag, students can transform an outfit into

an ensemble that feels more like them. For instance, pairing a black pencil skirt with blue, pointed-toe pumps instead of a rounded nude heel can lend a completely different feel to an outfit.

Once students have the basics, it is all about mixing and matching parts of their wardrobe with the professional pieces.

Parker Hutchens, a project engineer for Austin Commercial, says he notices the

women in his office who stay stylish. Hutchens perceives it as a sign that they want to move up in their career and are willing to put in extra effort.

“I don’t think them being stylish is a reflection of how much they spend on clothes,” Hutchens said. “Girls especially can be thrifty while being stylish. I would say more effort indicates to me caring more about their career.”

Adding a scarf to an ensemble, carrying a Kate Spade purse or donning a favorite pair of Kendra Scott earrings are simple ways to accessorize an outfit, all while staying professional.

Adding favorite pieces to an outfit can keep interns looking serious yet fashion-forward and most importantly, like themselves.

Dee Loofbourow is a travel coordinator at PSAV in Dallas and understands the importance of dressing the part for work.

A long-time career woman, she believes employers want to see a polished look that doesn’t draw too much attention from the higher-ups. More than anything she believes it is important for women to feel good about themselves and what they are wearing while they are at work.

“It will help you feel more comfortable and confident,” Loofbourow said.

So don’t fret the night before the first day.

You are going to do a great job. And those new parchment-colored Joie heels will be a great talking point with supervisors.

having frequent sale events and exceptional customer service.

Lucy Huang, owner of Accents, decided to pursue fashion after working in technology management with Texas Instruments and other tech-related entrepreneurial ventures and wanted to try something different.

“I did not have a fashion background whatsoever, but I actually acted on very planned and deliberate life decisions,” Huang said. “I quit my job, wrote a business plan and took classes at El Centro for retail.”

After having moderate success as an entrepreneur, Huang also decided to be her own investor to bring her specific vision of Accents to life.

“That’s another reason I picked fashion – I wanted to not be held by a venture capitalist or any angel investor — been there, done that, don’t want to do that.”

Award-winning FD magazine announces February issue will be its last KATIE MILLER Contributing Writer kemiller@smu.edu For nearly a decade, Dallas fashionistas and style fiends have flipped through the slick, stylish pages of FD magazine every month. At first glance, this issue appeared to be no different. An elfin brunette in a white geometric top lies amid red, faux-spring foliage on the February cover.

Then you see it: the words “Our Last Issue” seem to appear from nowhere.

The Dallas Morning News announced last month that it will no longer publish either FD, its award-winning monthly magazine dedicated to all things style, or NeighborsGo, community publications which focused on individual Dallas neighborhoods. An article on The Dallas Morning News website says that 19 positions have been cut with the loss of these publications.

“Fashion Dallas,” a weekly section in The News, became its own publication, FD Magazine, in 2006 under Editor-in-Chief Tracy Achor Hayes. Hayes said that FD became much more than just a fashion magazine.

“Fashion burst out of its boundaries,” she said.

Hayes, who is now editorial director for

The Dallas Morning News announced in January that it will no longer publish its magazine, FD.

Neiman Marcus, handed over the reins in 2011 to current Editor-in-Chief Rob Brinkley. Under Brinkley, Hayes said, FD shifted “into more general interest with an edge.” The magazine covered local art, fashion and the events that brought Dallas society together.

While the magazine was deeply rooted in the Dallas community and ran full-page advertisements from luxury brands like Rolex and Cartier, the closure appeared to be financially based.

Lindsay Jacaman, group publisher of FD, wrote in the final issue: “The decision was

financial, and was not made lightly. It reflects the ever-shifting habits of readers and advertisers.

The times, they are a-changin’.”

In his final “Letter from The Editor,” Brinkley also suggested business reasons were the primary reason for the magazine’s closure.

“You are shocked. You are sad and mad. I am, too. The backpack of rations The Morning News has to gingerly carry across the minefield that is the media business today doesn’t have room for a printed style magazine,” he wrote.

Jake Batsell, a former staff member at The Dallas Morning News, who now teaches

journalism at SMU, said that FD’s high freelance costs may have played a role in its demise.

“I think the level of sophistication they had reached was such that it was an expensive magazine to produce,” Batsell said.

Another contributing factor may have been that The Dallas Morning News, led by its new editor, Mike Wilson, has been undergoing a restructuring to focus more on its digital presence. “[FD] never really had a strong robust digital presence. There was no strong ongoing conversation,” Batsell said.

Both Batsell and Hayes agree that print journalism is on a downward trend. However, Batsell says that FD’s closure could leave an opening for a new fashion-oriented magazine in Dallas. Hayes agrees, but says it will not be an easy task.

“If FD couldn’t do it with all its history and awards,” she said, it may not be possible in today’s business climate.

FD successfully connected the Dallas creative community and launched numerous careers in the industry, Hayes said.

While readers mourn the loss of a magazine, Hayes points to another loss.

“The saddest [loss] is the loss of the people who contributed creatively,” he said.

ACCENTS CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3

In only nine months, the first Accents store was opened. Its success grew over time; so much so that Huang opened another location in Southlake in 2013 and relocated from West Village to a 40 percent larger venue at Mockingbird Station in 2014, according to Culture Map Dallas.

Huang attributes the success and growth of the company to her business plan and method of operation.

“We emphasize we are a small, local Dallas business but we are a ‘grown up business’ — we operate as a hybrid of corporate and local in a tight manner,” Huang said. “We want to stand next to Urban Outfitters and not look like a ‘momand-pop’ store.”

Huang’s detailed business plan, hardworking staff and endless motivation drives Accents to be the successful, wellknown boutique that provides all the desired services it has. Her passion seems contagious as staff members work just as hard as the owner.

Chandler Helms, Accents sales associate, says Huang attracted her to the position about one year ago. Helms says Huang is an incredible boss and has

taught her a multitude of things from retail to entrepreneurship. “[Lucy] is thoughtful, understanding, reasonable, kind and extremely hard-working,” Helms said. “She is constantly searching for ways to improve the store, employee morale and sales. She built most of the displays in the store by hand. Lucy never ceases to amaze me with her drive and curiosity.”

Despite Accents’ overwhelming success, Huang constantly strives to make improvements to her store, adjust what doesn’t work and find ways to continue things that are going well.

As advice for aspiring entrepreneurs in business, technology or retail, she says, “be humble and remember that nothing’s beneath you.”

The Chainsmokers light up Southside Ballroom MADELEINE HARTNETT Contributing Writer mharnett@smu.edu Insomniac’s third annual Crush concert made an appearance in downtown Dallas for the first time this year after being exclusively held in Los Angeles. The sold-out electronic dance music (EDM) event Feb. 13 showcased four rising electronic music artists: The Chainsmokers, the Lost Kings, NGHTMRE and Slander. The Chainsmokers, who performed at an SMU fraternity event two years ago, headlined the concert.

Their hit single “Roses” broke No. 6 on Billboard. com’s “Billboard Hot 100” last week.

“I loved when ‘Roses’ came on, and the confetti shot out from the stage,” junior Caitlyn Rutan said. “[Crush concert] was different from all of the EDM concerts I’ve been to before. The confetti gave it a different feel from the concerts that I’ve been to which were held outside during the day. It was more like going to a club.”

EDM concerts attract students with high-energy dance music accompanied by flashy light shows, carbon dioxide cannons and falling confetti.

“Saturday evening was only my second EDM concert that I’ve ever attended,” junior Jorge Hinojosa said.

“I have been to many rock concerts in my lifetime, and I’ve been to a fair amount of them at Southside.

Southside is as pure a venue as you’re gonna get in Dallas, and that’s why it’s one of my favorites.

“A venue that bare and

spacious works perfectly with higher energy genres (Rock, EDM, Hip-Hop), and I can’t think of another indoor venue in Dallas that better suits the EDM genre specifically.”

The electronic music culture is slowly making its way onto the SMU campus as students embrace the growing EDM market which was valued at $6.9 billion in 2014, according to Billboard’s “Global EDM Market Hits $6.9 Billion” article.

“I always hear the most recent electronic music playing at parties and venues that SMU students go to,” junior Allie Knobbe said.

Electronic music performances offer an experience that is different from the traditional concerts students experience.

To give fans with a broad taste in music a unique experience, many acts mix in several styles of music to accompany the high-energy dance music.

“I loved that The Chainsmokers worked in old Blink 182 songs into their set,” senior Tori Hernandez said.

Hernandez enjoyed the other performers as well.

“My favorite song of the night was the Slander and NGHTMRE song ‘Gud Vibrations,’” Hernandez said.

After playing their new song “Dead,” one of the members of Slander got on the mic and reached out to the crowd.“Dallas, will you dance and run away with us tonight?”

The Chainsmokers earned their widespread reputation over the past four years by consistently releasing music and touring around the world. During their set, The Chainsmokers took a moment to explain the meaning of their song “Kanye.”

“Our song ‘Kanye’ is not about Kanye West like most people assume. It’s really about not caring about what other people think,” The Chainsmokers said.

Senior Avery Hansen has been following the duo since high school. She is also a friend of eight years to one of the duo’s members, Alex Pall.

“The Chainsmokers are super dedicated to their fans, so they try to make every one of their shows such an amazing experience,” Hansen said.

‘Housewives’ comes to Dallas SAMMI OLIVA Contributing Writer soliva@smu.edu Bravo announced the premier of “The Real Housewives of Dallas.” That’s right — SMU’s hometown will be the setting of the new reality TV series premiering April 11 at 10 p.m.

This guilty pleasure will follow the lives of five women living in the Dallas area.

Cary Deuber Deuber isn’t a Texas native, but she’s built quite a home here. As a certified registered nurse’s first assistant, she maintains her own aesthetic injectable practice. These qualifications made her the perfect employee, and wife, for plastic surgeon Dr. Mark Deuber. But work isn’t the only

thing this pair shares; they also have three children.

Tiffany Hendra With her past as an actress, host and model, Hendra finds herself at home on the television screen. Married to an Australian rocker, the couple moved to Texas to reconnect with family. Rumor has it this housewife has a history, but more details will unfold as the show airs its first season.

Brandi Redmond Redmond is a true Texan through and through. She is a former Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader and a graduate of Texas Woman’s University.

She’s also a mother to two little girls and dabbles in charity while her husband is off on business.

Stephanie Hollman Hollman may seem to be

Brandi’s innocent friend, but this girl has sass to spice up any conversation. She’s a mother of two boys and lives on the Four Seasons Golf Course.

LeeAnne Locken Locken is used to compliments on her beauty. In 1989 she placed in the top 10 in the Miss USA Pageant.

Now she spends most of her time hanging with her boyfriends.

Marie Reyes Reves is described as a “friend” of the Dallas Ladies.

She is also a registered nurse.

She owns and operates SkinSpaMED, which is only 20 minutes away from the SMU campus.

Like Deuber, she has a specialty in injections. Despite being just a “friend,” she’ll have her fair share of juicy drama.

A couple was quickly strolling through the Galleria Dallas, focused, with a store, or perhaps an item, in mind. As they passed the doorway the wife peered into the fashion exhibit. Her eyes lit up as she scanned the dark room. She abruptly let go of her husband’s hand and without a word, entered the room that was dripping with fringe, furs and foxtrot tunes.

The husband slowly followed behind as the security guard chuckled to himself and clicked the digital counter twice.

They were the 99th and 100th people to enter the exhibit in less than two hours since it opened at noon. It wasn’t a surprise to Officer Reaves when the wife led in her reluctant husband. Or that she may spend more than half an hour looking at garments and accessories that are nearly 100 years old, while he loiters by the exit.

Women have been pouring into the exhibit since it opened and men were forced to watch and wait as “Decadence: Fashions from the 1920s” transported observers to the streets of cities overcome by the roaring ’20s.

Jackie and Bob Snodgrass slowly moved from the daywear collection, featuring Coco Chanel drop-waist and delicate floral chiffon dresses, on to lavish fur coats, and eventually evening gowns

newspaper, and as a fan of the hit show “Downton Abbey,” wanted to see the speciallycurated fashion exhibit that celebrates its final season.

She hoped costumes from the show would be on display, but was pleased to learn original, vintage pieces, including Mariano Fortuny Delphos pleated, silk gowns were on display instead.

Bob on the other hand was the victim of being at the wrong place at the wrong time, resulting in his reluctant presence at the display.

Officer Reaves describes it as a situation of a “man getting dragged in by his wife.”

“Oh well, I’m just following along,” Bob said.

The Snodgrasses are just two of the hundreds of people who have come to visit the exhibit since it opened Jan. 22.

The show has attracted scores of people from all different backgrounds, and piqued the interest of everyone from the security guard to those who have made a career working in fashion.

Chelsea Bell is the director of the fashion media program at SMU and has been studying fashion history and design most of her life. The exhibit gives people the chance to see rare, vintage pieces like Maria Monaci Gallenga evening dresses or Lucien Lelong

Aubergine silk satin gowns.

“It’s a good opportunity to see these things up close because of the amount of detailing and beading in all of the evening dresses,” Bell said.

“You see it in pictures but it’s never the same as in person.”

Madeleine Kalb is a fashion media major went to see “Decadence: Fashions from the 1920s” with her classmates.

For some students in the program, it was the first chance they had to personally see garments they have studied for years.

The glamour of the clothes, especially the intricate beading and detail work on each dress and the quality of the garments, particularly the coveted Fortuny Delphos gown, amazed Kalb.

“I’ve written about it many times, but I’ve never actually gotten to see it in person and it’s in really pristine quality,” gushed Kalb as she stared at the garment across the room.

“Decadence: Fashions from the 1920s” was curated by Ken Weber of Vintage Martini to showcase the beauty, elegance and allure of the fashion trends of the era, but can be enjoyed and appreciated by anyone who loves “The Great Gatsby” or 1920s-themed parties, are passionate about the history of fashion and design or just want to see a glimpse of the past.

SMU’s finest fashionistas

Behind the scenes of the life, work of SMU’s stylish students KATIE BUTLER Assignments Desk Editor kdbutler@smu.edu “Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only.

Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live and what is happening.” – Coco Chanel At SMU, there are several students who have brought their own styles, inspirations and passions for clothes right to campus. With their own work experiences, business ventures, personal style projects and goals, SMU’s leaders in the world of fashion are not afraid to use Dallas as their own personal canvas.

So who are these fashionforward ladies? How are they paving the way for both fashion in Dallas and influencing the style of SMU’s campus? The SMU Campus Weekly is going behind the scenes of SMU’s most stylish students.

Jessica Jan, Senior Inside LF, a popular Dallas shopping spot, Jessica Jan is dressed to impress in a white and black striped bodycon dress and sneakers. Helping customers find what fits them well, Jan uses her fashion knowledge to help others look their best.

Jan first got involved in fashion during her childhood.

“I knew something was wrong with me when I would be late to school when I wouldn’t know what to wear,” Jan said. “My dad would write me a sick note so I could miss first period and pick out what I was going to wear that day.”

internships and jobs in the fashion industry, Jan has developed her own style.

During her freshman year, she got an internship at the Westbank Clothing Showroom in the Fashion Industry Gallery where she did marketing. Jan also worked with Dragonfly, a modeling agency.

Jan knew she wanted to pursue fashion as a career after her internship with Moda Operandi in New York City, where she worked as a fashion stylist and in customer experience.

“My end goal is to have my own business,” Jan said.

“I want to do something that mixes fashion with styling and international waters. I think I want to move to New York after I graduate and try to be an artistic director or editor for a certain brand or house.”

What is the fashion staple that everyone needs? Well, according to Jan, it’s a simple pair of sneakers.

“You can’t go wrong with a pair of sick sneakers — not the running shoes, but Adidas or stylish ones.” Jan said, as she looked down at her feet to her white sneakers. “Everyone needs a pair of those.”

Jan is sharing her fashion

Chandler Helms, Senior Chandler Helms has never been afraid to show her colors.

“I love to mix textures and patterns and color,” Helms said. “My biggest fashion icons would be Kate Spade and Mara Hoffman — colorful and really bright.”

Helms said her love for fashion started at a young age when she would wear the “craziest outfits to school.”

Helms even designed and made her own clothes when she was a child.

“I used to make dresses out of paper and stuff when I was younger, and my grandma taught me how to sew,” she said.

Her love for fashion didn’t stop there. Helms has held internships in Dallas and New York, working with local designer Abi Ferrin, Christian Dior, and Rebecca Taylor in New York.

According to Helms, there is still hope for the style of the city.

“Dallas definitely has its own style,” she said. “The weather is different here and we can play with different things that other cities like New York can’t.”

In the future, Helms plans to move to New York City for at least three to five years while working for a brand or as an international sales representative.

Something the average reader wouldn’t know about fashion?

SMU $1 billion endowment under congressional scrutiny ALYSSA WENTZEL Copy Editor awentzel@smu.edu Once again, SMU is being questioned about its $1 billion endowment, along with 55 other universities nationwide.

Unlike the previous scrutiny in 2007 and 2008, this investigation is focused solely on private institutions and the “tax preferences” included in their endowments for the 2014 fiscal year.

Questions have also been raised regarding the institutions’ “naming rights” policies for donors and conflicts of interest of those involved in investment decisions.

SMU CAMPUS WEEKLY

SMU is being questioned about its $1 billion endowment.

Higher Education’s” Goldie Blumenstyk outlined the details of the congressional scrutiny as well as a copy of the four-page letter congressional committees sent to SMU and the other universities.

The letter “demands that [the universities] provide at least three years of financial data about

their endowment-spending policies, the fees they pay to their money managers and the share of endowment going toward student aid.”

What does this mean for SMU? In the wake of the NCAA sanctions against the SMU men’s basketball team, this is just one more hoop for SMU to jump through.

Latest GOP debate called ‘nastiest’ so far KARLY HANSON Chief Copy Editor kdhanson@smu.edu Six GOP candidates gathered in South Carolina Feb. 13 for the ninth Republican Debate sponsored by CBS and the Republican National Committee. This was the final debate before the Republican South Carolina primary Feb. 20.

A brawl ensued. Politico called this debate the “nastiest” one yet.

The New York Times’ recap headline read “Saturday Night Fighting.”

Here’s a breakdown of some of the major exchanges.

Donald Trump called Ted Cruz “the single biggest liar” in response to Cruz saying that Trump is not a reliable conservative.

Trump also went after Jeb

Bush’s family — again — criticizing former President George W. Bush for allowing 9/11 to happen and the war in Iraq.

Jeb responded saying that he loved his family, and after mentioning how incredible his mother is.

Trump retorted: “She should be running.”

Cruz and Marco Rubio also had a nasty clash over immigration policy — again.

Cruz attacked Rubio for being a supporter of amnesty, and the ensuing back-andforth escalated to Rubio attacking Cruz’s inability to speak Spanish.

“I don’t know how he knows what I said on Univision because he doesn’t speak Spanish,” Rubio said.

And Cruz then responded to him in, what some are saying was grammatically incorrect, Spanish.

It’s also important to note John Kasich spurred a new GOP debate hashtag after saying “jeez, oh man” to express his frustration with the constant fighting in the heated debate fights. #JeezOhMan was deemed the defining catchphrase of the night by New York Times columnist Anand Giridharadas.

“I think we’re fixing to lose the election to Hillary Clinton,” Kasich said.

For more crazy moments, check out Rolling Stone’s “35 WTF Moments” article with quotes from the candidates at the debate, especially this one-liner from the soft spoken Ben Carson: “I’m not a politician. I’m never going to become a politician.”

“Everyone is actually really nice and so welcoming in the fashion industry — everyone wants you to do well.”

Helms’ fashion product of choice?

“A good pair of shoes — they can change an outfit,” Helms said. “I wear my black booties everywhere.”

Helms can be found working on her new fashion app, working at Accents or working on her blog “Ramen&Rose.”

Jessye Bullock, Sophomore Since birth Jessye Bullock, who describes her style as “boho-chic with Carrie Bradshaw influences,” has known that her passion is fashion.

“As cliché as it sounds, I think I’ve always known what I wanted to do,” Bullock said. “Ever since I was capable of dressing myself, I did just that with little to no regard for what others may think, and that’s sort of been my motto since.”

And with her resume, it is obvious that Bullock has been working hard to fulfill her dream. She has worked as a model since she was 13 years old.

“I signed with a local agency in Birmingham just hoping to earn money for my private school tuition,” Bullock said. “I flew to Miami to meet with other agencies. I signed with NEXT down there but terminated that contract when it became too much. The next year I flew to New York and signed with Click NYC and stayed with them until I was 18.”

Bullock is not a stranger to the business side of the fashion industry.

“I’ve worked with countless photographers/agents and actors. I have worked for local boutiques, a law office, an advertising agency as well as for places such as LF, Alice and Olivia and Suitsupply,” Bullock said.

Right now, Bullock is working as a brand ambassador for Suitsupply in their Dallas flagship store. She also works in store and assists with marketing and PR events around town.

Bullock is also working on her own T-shirt line entitled “Daifornia,” a name inspired by the large number of native Californians living in Dallas and attending SMU. The T-shirts are shirts that can be worn anywhere: work, the gym or even a night out. The goal is to inspire women.

As for her fashion staple of choice?

“A good pair of pumps. ‘Give a girl the right pair of shoes and she can conquer the world,’” Bullock said, quoting the late Marilyn Monroe.

The most important thing Bullock wants readers to know?

The key to fashion success is knowing how to work with what you have. “[Fashion] doesn’t mean being able to call Anna and get the latest outfit off the cover of Vogue. Anyone with a rich husband can do that,” she said.

“Style is about having $15 and going to a consignment store and making that outfit look like it should be on the cover of Vogue.”

Nati Bru, Junior As the editor-in-chief of SMUStyle. com, Nati Bru is no stranger to the SMU and Dallas fashion scene.

“My goal is to get into late-night television,” Bru said. “So, I’m not exactly pursuing fashion, but hey, I do need to look good.”

Bru, who is majoring in journalism, knew that she loved fashion from an early age. She once had a dream of being the editor-in-chief of Teen Vogue in fifth grade.

“While that was completely unrealistic, it definitely pushed me to pursue a career in journalism with a passion for fashion on the side,” Bru said.

As SMUStyle.com’s editor-in-chief and Highland Park Village’s Brand Ambassador, Bru has delved into the Dallas fashion scene and learned how to dress to impress.

“I interned for ‘Entertainment Tonight’ and ‘The Insider’ over the summer and, while it wasn’t fashion-related, I felt a pressure to always look good seeing as it was Hollywood and television,” she said.

What is Bru’s fashion advice for SMU students?

“Wear what suits your personality,” Bru said. “For me, I am nothing without a pair of black jeans. I also wear sunglasses more than I probably should.”

Bru can be found in SMU’s school of journalism, most likely sporting all black and wearing her sunglasses indoors.

Angela Vanderslice, Junior Wearing a cozy flannel over a velvet dress, Angela Vanderslice radiated effortless “cool.”

Vanderslice came to SMU studying science as a pre-med student for a year and a half, but now she is getting back to her creative roots.

She now describes her personal style as “hardcore hippy.”

“My favorite color is black, but I still love the flare pants,” Vanderslice said.

“I’m grungy, but also a flower child.”

Vanderslice has loved fashion from an early age.

“In elementary school, I used to draw wedding design sketches,” she said. “I was actually pretty good at it.”

Levels, the fashion showroom that Vanderslice works for, has three different locations and carries about 20 different clothing lines. According to Vanderslice, a fashion showroom is the “liaison between the designers and stores.”

“The best thing about the markets is that you get to see all the buyers from different stores,” Vanderslice said.

Vanderslice said buyers are responsible for trends that hit stores each season.

“You are planning trends and buying for your stores months in advance,” Vanderslice said. “You are the trendsetters.

You pick the fashions for the people, whether they like it or not.”

Vanderslice said getting into the industry depends more on who one knows than what one knows.

“It’s healthy. It’s not about the skinniest and the thinnest — people mix up the modeling industry and the fashion industry,” she said. “I’ve met some of the most genuine people.”

When asked about her fashion staple of choice, Vanderslice makes one point very clear.

“It’s whatever you feel the most comfortable in. that’s the best thing to have in your closet,” she said. “And rockin’ a jean jacket doesn’t hurt.”

@SMUCW_Opinion

Are liberals to blame for a portion of Donald Trump’s support?

Do you consider yourself a progressive, politically correct person? If so, then I blame you for creating the support for Donald Trump. “How can this be?” you say, “I have nothing against Muslims or Mexican immigrants!”

And while that may certainly be true, I view the Donald Trump phenomenon in this country as a result of all of the “progress” that has been made in our societal values in recent years. While I understand that our society has inequalities and that there are many noble causes out there that need their championing, it seems as if we have lost any middle ground in these debates.

All too often it seems to me as if rhetoric and political correctness becomes an all-or-nothing affair, with harsh words and ad hominem attacks being thrown around on both sides. Believe in a right to life? Well then you certainly hate women, which seems to be the message from the media and progressives. Do you think that refugees from an area that actively produces terrorists might possibly be a security threat? Well then you’re an Islamophobic bigot, no question about it.

And the list could go on with numerous other social justice cases, the story always seems the same. One can either fall in line or stand out, get called names and be ostracized for one’s beliefs.

Therein lies the allure of Trump.

Supporting Trump is a rallying call of sorts to say what you want and do what you want. There is no pressure to fall into line with any ideology. Those who have been steamrollered in the name of equality and higher ideals can now band together under the Trump banner. Have a problem with immigration reform? Just say that you should build a giant wall between here and Mexico. Are you scared of terrorists?

Suggest banning all immigrants and shutting down mosques.

Within the attraction also lies the drawback to Trump’s appeal — saying whatever you want is not always the right thing. And that’s why I do not support Trump’s presidential campaign; allegedly saying things like shutting down mosques is unconstitutional and irresponsible, not presidential.

But unlike those “enlightened” progressives out there, I am not going to

STAFF COLUMN

NOAH BARTOS Opinion Editor nbartos@smu.edu

harshly criticize those who support Trump.

Because I get it; I understand why people would want the freedom that comes with the ideals and attitude that Trump publicly projects. And I would encourage those who scoff at Trump and think he is an entire joke to at least step back and consider why he has gained his popularity.

Somewhere along the line equality and social justice stopped being about inclusiveness and equality and became more of a mantra. Somewhere it is decided by someone what the “correct” or most appropriate ideal is to have, and then that becomes the only opinion that is acceptable. This seems to happen all too often, from my perspective. And it is people who see it like this who go out to support Trump in droves; I certainly am

not alone in these feelings.

Maybe you can draw the conclusion from this support that America is just full of a bunch of awful bigots who need to be sensitivity trained, culturally educated or subjected to whatever the newest trend is these days. But to me Trump’s support is far too widespread to write him off as the one man crying out in the wilderness. We should consider how society can include everyone moving forward, rather than just putting forth one ideology that is “accept or be cast out.” Many people in this country feel alienated and insecure with the current cultural norms, which is what I think is the root cause of the support for Trump is.

Interpret the support for Trump however you would like, but some analysis and consideration should be given to why Trump is gaining the support that he is rather than just scoffing, hurling insults and moving on disgusted as so often is done. That way we can learn and progress, rather than just drifting further apart in our cultural divide that this nation seems to be facing.

Men’s soccer adds 10 new signees for 2016 BRECK SPENCER Sports Editor breckspencer@smu.edu Although headlines the past few weeks have been dominated by Chad Morris’ new recruiting class and the SMU Men Basketball undefeated run, second-year SMU Men’s Soccer Coach Kevin Hudson has quietly been crafting his own incoming freshman class.

The results? Phenomenal.

After concluding the regular season with a 2-1 loss to Akron in the NCAA Tournament Sweet 16, Hudson and the Mustangs hit the recruiting trail. And they hit it hard.

Just days after the NCAA football national signing day, Hudson announced the addition of 10 new players to an already deep roster.

These new additions give the Mustangs even more to build on as they move into next season. Here is a look at the SMU Men’s Soccer most recent signees.

Jacob Cohen Forward/Midfield Cohen measures 6’1”, giving him a unique combination of size and technical prowess. Cohen will bring his experience from captaining the 98 SC Del Sol team.

Boston Gilbert Midfield Gilbert, an in state signee reigning from San Antonio, will add even more depth to the Midfield position for the Mustangs. Gilbert also brings previous leadership background, having served as the team captain for

both his high school and club teams.

Brandon Guhl Forward Guhl will add an electrifying element to the Mustangs’ offense. Guhl has been recognized as the top goal scorer in Texas, and ranked third nationally in scoring during his junior season. He will look to make an immediate impact at SMU. Patrick Michael Hillyard Goalkeeper While Hillyard most likely won’t have the chance to make an immediate impact in the fall, he possesses great potential and will have the chance to compete for playing time in the future.

Grant Makela Goal Keeper Similar to Hillyard, Makela likely won’t make an immediate impact on the field. However, his 6’4” frame makes him a menace in goal and gives him an extremely high ceiling.

Garrett McLaughlin Forward McLaughlin brings experience playing with Oklahoma FC, and brings accolades including the 2015 Oklahoma Player of the Year. Coaches will look for McLaughlin diversify the Mustangs’ offense.

Edwin Munjoma Defender Munjoma’s experience with FC Dallas provides him with a strong foundation, which he brings to the

Mustangs. After losing two senior defenders, Munjoma will help maintain depth at the position.

Philip Ponder Defender Ponder also brings prior experience having trained with FC Dallas, and packs tremendous potential at the defensive positon. He will look to further hone his skills when he arrives to the Hilltop in the fall, and potentially compete for playing time.

Dwight Williams Jr. Midfield Rated as a four star recruit and ranked the No. 22 forward in the class, Williams will look to use his experience playing for the U.S. youth national teams to make a prompt impact his freshman season.

Toshiki Yasuda Midfield Yasuda comes in as a top 50 recruit nationally, and brings prior experience training with FC Dallas.

Coaches expect for Yasuda to create offensive opportunities immediately when he arrives on campus.

SMU already boasts an impressive roster, returning the majority of their starters, including forward Mauro Cichero, who led the team in goals scored with 10, and defender Jared Rice, who led the team in assists with 10.

With the addition to the incoming first-years, the Mustangs should have their sights set on a deep run into the 2016 NCAA Tournament.

Men’s Basketball defeats Gonzaga 69-60 BRIAN O’DONNELL Assistant Sports Editor bodonnel@smu.edu The No. 16 SMU Mustangs beat the Gonzaga Bulldogs 69-60 at Moody Coliseum in arguably their biggest non-conference game of the season.

A star-studded crowd was on hand to watch SMU avenge last season’s loss, highlighted by former President George W. Bush and Dallas Cowboys Head Coach Jason Garrett.

The Bulldogs, preseason No. 9 in the AP Poll, dominated the paint for the opening 10 minutes of the first half, jumping out to an eight-point lead. They out rebounded SMU 21-16, but only shot 31 percent from the field.

The Mustangs came out hot with an alley-oop and a some early three-pointers off the tip.

However, they found themselves down by eight late in the first half before going on a 12-1 run into the break. Every SMU player scored at least one basket in the half.

SMU shot 39 percent from the field en route to a 30-27 lead at halftime.

Gonzaga’s Domantas Sabonis was a force in the paint in the second half, finishing with 20 points and 15 rebounds.

He helped the Zags regain the lead early.

Bulldogs’ forward Kyle Wiltjer did not play well and was 2-17 from the field including 0-8 from the three-point line.

He finished with four points. Silas Melson and Kyle Dranginis added 12 and 11 points respectively.

Senior point guard Nic Moore orchestrated the SMU offense in the second half, pouring in 18 of his 25 points to go along with 11 assists.

Moore, along with Ben Moore, helped the Mustangs build an 11-point lead and they never looked back from there. Ben Moore finished with 16 points.

The Mustangs shot 46 percent from the field in the game compared to Gonzaga’s 38 percent.

SMU finished 72 percent from the free throw line, making some key free throws late in the game.

Head Coach Larry Brown commented on Nic Moore, saying “it was neat watching him tonight.”
