Aggravated robberies increase around SMU, community questions campus safety STAFF REPORTS During the past two weeks, two aggravated robberies and one attempted aggravated robbery occurred on or around SMU’s campus. The aggravated robberies were reported within days of each other: the first April 17, the second April 21 and the third April 23. Alleged victims included SMU students, a parent and an employee working at a CVS near campus. The increase in aggravated robberies is a shock to the SMU community. Before April 17, only three robberies were reported on campus during the last six years, according to the SMU Police Department. “The safety of the SMU community always is the university’s first concern,” SMUPD wrote in an email. In wake of the on-campus incidents, SMU Police announced the addition of car and bike patrols throughout the campus at night. While some students have noticed the increased patrols, others have not. “The most recent incident happened right behind my dorm, which is really freaky considering I have to get up and walk outside alone at 5 in the morning,” said Sammie Kurtz, first-year student athlete and Peyton Commons resident. “I got the emails, but I still haven’t noticed more patrol.” Other students who frequently commit to late nights on campus also found themselves a little rattled. “I usually practice late into the night and leave Meadows around 1 a.m., so it’s nerve-racking to think it that could have been me,” junior Hannah Abercrombie said. “I remind myself that SMU is in a city, so stuff like that is expected, but it’s nice to have some added peace of mind with the increased patrols.” Some students are satisfied with increased security, while others on campus are taking their safety into their own hands. Sophomore Meron Metaferia was planning to go out April 21 when she decided to order her Uber from outside the police department. “With all the [aggravated] assaults going on recently, I didn’t want to take any chances,” Metaferia said. “The police officer outside waited with me and escorted me to my Uber. I’m not sure if they always do that or if it is due to the increase in patrol, but it made me feel really safe.” In addition to increased patrol, students like senior Robbie Slaughter believe making adjustments on campus grounds can make the

school safer. “I definitely think at the very least there should be more well-lit areas and more perimeter checks,” Slaughter said. Kirk Presley, membership committee chair for SMU Student Senate, agrees with Slaughter.“I think as a whole, campus is definitely secure and safety is well maintained… but there are definitely some weak spots, say, in front of the George Bush Library or by Perkins or where areas are dark over by the Law School,” Presley said. “Once we identify these spots, we need to increase police presence in those areas or improve lighting.” Lighting around campus has been a longstanding issue for SMU, leaving many students feeling uneasy while walking around campus at night. Even though there are emergency stations positioned around campus, for the most part, students feel long lengths of campus are left unlit. “Lighting won’t stop someone from robbing at gunpoint… but it could help increase security,” Presley said. University Park Police Department Crime Prevention Officer Lita Snellgrove said to increase personal safety on campus, students should use Giddy-Up, be aware of their surroundings when walking and walk with a friend or with a group. “Several incidents have occurred around 2 a.m., so get home early,” Snellgrove said. Snellgrove is correct: all three aggravated robberies occurred after 2 a.m. In the first incident on April 17, three SMU students and a parent reported being robbed at gunpoint in the 2900 block of SMU Boulevard. In the second attempted aggravated robbery April 21, a female reported a man attempted to rob her at gunpoint between the north side of Owens Art Center and the south side of Peyton Hall. In the third incident April 22, a CVS Pharmacy employee reported an aggravated robbery at gunpoint at 3012 Mockingbird Lane. Only one suspect has been arrested by the Dallas Police Department for the aggravated robbery April 17. WFAA reported Demarcus Cortez Brown, 23, was arrested by Dallas PD in an east Dallas residence and was taken to University Park jail. “Our detectives do not feel the cases are related,” Snellgrove said. The University Park Police Department and SMU Police Department are investigating the cases.

Dallas hatches plan to prevent Zika outbreak KARLY HANSON Copy Editor khanson@smu.edu More rain means more mosquitoes, and CBS-DFW reports the top concerns this season are the Zika virus and West Nile Virus. Dallas County Health Department has a plan to prevent Zika outbreaks this mosquito season, which begins the first week of May. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed April 13 that the virus causes microcephaly and other birth defects. “The impact … [Zika] could have on pregnant women is dramatic, so we think our personal mission is to ensure that we get information out to all … [Dallas County] residents,” Zac Thompson, director of Dallas County’s health and human services department told the Dallas Morning News. “But we don’t want to lose sight of public enemy No. 1: West Nile virus.”

Zika virus is transmitted through the bite of an infected Aedes species mosquito, according to the CDC.

The health department is monitoring mosquito traps to check for cases of the Zika virus. So far in Dallas, the six confirmed cases of the virus have been transmitted sexually or by a mosquito from abroad. If a Zika case is found in a local mosquito, officials will treat the area to prevent spreading of the virus. The biggest focus in Dallas is to get rid of all standing water, which acts as a breeding ground for mosquitoes.

George W. Bush greets attendants at the Invictus Games news conference. He was named honorary chairman of the 2016 Invictus Games April 25.

President George W. Bush dubbed honorary chairman of the Invictus Games BRIDGET GRAF Online Editor bgraf@smu.edu The George W. Bush Presidential Center has vowed to help transition American veterans from military service to civilian life, and its latest effort takes veterans from hospitals to basketball courts, tennis courts and weightlifting arenas. Former President Bush was named honorary chairman of the 2016 Invictus Games in a news conference Monday afternoon. “I’m fired up about the Invictus games,” Bush told the crowd of veterans and family members. The Invictus Games is an international adaptive sporting event for wounded, ill and injured service members and veterans. It will take place at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex at Walt Disney World May 8-12. Prince Harry created the Invictus Games in 2014 after a visit to the 2013 Warrior Games. He decided to host the inaugural Invictus Games in London to harness the power of sports to help servicemen and women rehabilitate from their time in the military. Invictus means “unconquerable” in Latin. “The flag came from Prince Harry, and with it comes the responsibility for hosting

the games,” Bush said. Prince Harry and Bush will be hosting an Invictus Games Policy Symposium during the games. They will address the invisible wounds of war: post-traumatic stress, traumatic brain injury and other psychological health conditions. “We intend to use the platform of the Invictus Games to call our nation to more work and better work, so this group of men and women can contribute mightily to our country,” Bush said. Veterans Juan Soto (wheelchair basketball), Jaime Garza (shot-put, discus and powerlifting) and Chance Field (wheelchair tennis) will be competing in the games. “When you don’t leave the military on your own terms, stuff like the Invictus Games gives feels good, and there’s a lot of motivation in that,” Field said. Specialist and Arlington resident Soto, who served stateside, participated in the 2014 Invictus Games wheelchair basketball. The Colony resident and HM3 (FMF) Garza said training for the games gives him a goal to work toward. “It’s very motivational. It helps me get through the day,” Garza said. “Sometimes you feel useless, so it’s good to find something to keep you busy.”

Dallas Animal Services reported it will begin to implement a new strategy in attempts to rein in stray, mishandled and loose dogs by increasing pet citations by 500 percent April 25.

Dallas cracks down on dog owners, imposes 500 percent increase in pet citations ROBYN LANGLEY Contributing Writer rlangley@smu.edu Dallas Animal Services presented strategies borrowed from policing tactics at the City Council’s Quality of Life Committee April 25. DAS’ new strategy to attempt to rein in stray, mishandled and loose dogs is to increase citations by 500 percent. Animal control officers have already written more citations than any year in recent history, most of which were given to those without proper pet registration or owners allowing dogs to run loose. Improvements made in these past six months at DAS include hiring new workers as well as adding technology to speed up record keeping and direct dispatch communication between 3-1-1

operators and officers. Animal Services also uses NextDoor, a neighborhood-watch app, as well as outreach programs to grab local attention and has linked its software with 3-1-1. Dallas Animal Services launched a campaign six months ago targeting stray dogs by focusing intense attention on problem neighborhoods. This campaign was tested in five small neighborhoods. Through these efforts, DAS issued 815 violations, 159 tickets, took 170 dogs to shelter, registered 59 new animals, neutered 135 dogs, contacted 1,245 citizens and gave out 2,947 packages of educational materials. Control officers attempted to educate owners about responsible pet care and wrote extra citations in areas where patrol was boosted. Now, Dallas Animal Services

will broaden the targeted regions and mobilize resources based on greatest needs. Though there has been improvement, the issues remain and Dallas City Council continues to hear stray dog complaints. City Council has indicated it is pleased with DAS progress, but concerned about making the improvements permanent, as Dallas has struggled with dangerous and stray dogs for years. A new program aimed at southern Dallas, CARE or Community Animal Resource Effort, will replace the DAS targeted-neighborhood program. Director Jody Jones said DAS is taking the lessons learned in the last six months and rolling out a better program. She reminded the public that DAS needs them to call with animal issues, and that it deploys resources based on

calls to 3-1-1. Jones maintains that focusing on picking up stray dogs won’t work. She also feels new strategies are needed to engage people in solutions and that merely rounding up animals perpetuates the problems. The city is partnering with activists and police to create a group working against animal cruelty. Though council members praised officials for their progress, they also questioned if DAS is effectively addressing the problem. The city has also made efforts to educate the public about the issues plaguing dogs by launching the DallasPETS campaign at the end of last year. Efforts have mostly been concentrated on the southern half of Dallas, where stray dogs are such a problem that it can prevent kids walking to and from schools. Though there has been

sustainable success in picking up stray dogs, DAS’ plans fixated on human behaviors more than the animals. Volunteers will be sent to target areas to explain laws and share resources for about a week before Animal Services officers come remove strays and issue citations to residents, including tickets to those allowing dogs to run loose. An estimated one third of dogs on streets are truly strays and the rest belong to owners who are not compliant, according to DAS. By combining education, dog catching and enforcement the city of Dallas expects to curb some of the chaos. There is hope that the enthusiasm heard from Animal Services about these efforts will be matched by commitment to ticketing irresponsible owners and catching dogs.

NCAA denies SMU’s appeal of sanctions PATRICK ENGEL Sports Columnist bspencer@smu.edu SMU’s appeal to the NCAA regarding its sanctions in men’s basketball and men’s golf has been denied, the NCAA announced April 21. SMU appealed several sanctions from the NCAA’s Sept. 29, 2015 ruling: the 2015-16 postseason ban for men’s golf (for individual players), recruiting restrictions in men’s golf and men’s basketball, the reduction of scholarships in both sports and the vacation of men’s basketball wins in the 2013-14 season. Both teams have the flexibility to determine how to apply the reductions. The NCAA upheld the golf postseason ban. Basketball will lose seven scholarships over three years, from 2016-17 to 2018-19. The penalty was originally nine scholarships, but SMU got credit for the two it did not use in

2015-16. Men’s golf has to reduce its number of scholarships by 25 percent over three years. The team got credit for the 12 percent reduction it imposed in 2015-16. Additionally, men’s basketball and golf are prohibited from hosting unofficial visits for 13 weeks during the summer of 2016. Basketball has to reduce its number of official visits by two in 2016-17 and 2017-18. Both have to reduce communication with recruits for seven weeks in the spring of 2016. SMU did not appeal the facts or findings of its case. It only appealed penalties. Per the report, SMU argued that NCAA’s Committee of Infractions applied individual aggregators because of SMU’s history, didn’t account for selfimposed penalties in visit reductions, extended financial penalties beyond the sanctions’ duration and elevated golf violations’ elevation to Level I (more

severe) as opposed to Level II. SMU also claimed it was not given enough notice of the potential vacated wins because former player Keith Frazier was granted immunity. The Infractions Appeals Committee found “none of these arguments persuasive in meeting the burden of showing abuse of discretion” by the Infractions Committee. The NCAA released the Academic Progress Rate (APR) scores from the 201415 academic year April 20. APR calculates academic progress by a university’s student-athletes through a metric that measures athletes’ eligibility and retention each semester. SMU men’s basketball’s RPI was 939, above the 930 needed to avoid penalties. Football’s APR was a 945. To play in the 2016-17 postseason, teams must have a four-year average of 930. Both football and men’s basketball did.

Country band aims high with Billy Bob’s appearance RILEY COVEN Arts & Life Editor rcoven@smu.edu Country band Shane Smith and the Saints are blazing their way across the country on tour. The Texas natives are stopping in Fort Worth for a show at the famous Billy Bob’s. This legendary venue has hosted countless country crooners over the years and the Saints look to continue the tradition. The show is April 28, and the band couldn’t be more excited. They sat down with the SMU Campus Weekly to talk about their music and upcoming show. Campus Weekly: What made you want to follow music as a profession? Shane Smith: I knew that I wanted to try to write songs when I first heard the lyrics of songs by Adam Carroll, Ray Wylie Hubbard, Hayes Carll and many other songwriters at around 19. I had already been learning guitar, but that was the music that made me want to write. CW: How did you get your start professionally? SS: I started the way most others do. I taught myself to get by on guitar and began trying to write songs around 18. Open mics and songwriting contests followed after that and then a ton of acoustic shows for about two years. The first sign that we might be able to make a career in music was when we signed with Red11 music in Austin for our booking. CW: “Geronimo” is your second full-length album; do you think your sound has changed at all with the

new record? SS: I think our sound has definitely changed, but not necessarily on purpose. It’s just from playing lots of shows and trying to develop something that’s unique. We’ve played a lot of shows over the last few years and there are certain aspects to our sound that were developed after the release of “Coast”; examples of that are the four-part harmonies and overall energy of the show. CW: What’s the best part about going on tour? SS: I would say the most rewarding aspects to touring are the places you see and the people you meet. CW: Are there any artists you would call inspirations? SS: Definitely. Probably too many to mention, but bands and artists like Creedence Clearwater Revival, Bruce Springsteen, Hayes Carll, Townes Van Zandt and Lord Huron all have completely different sounds, but I take influence from all of them in some way. CW: Did you ever find it difficult to balance music with other obligations in your life?

SS: It’s extremely difficult to find balance. It is a job that can completely consume you, so you have to find a way to make time for your family and personal endeavors. CW: What is your favorite track off the new album? SS: The track I’m most proud of is probably “Right Side of the Ground.” CW: How did you end up with the name “Shane Smith & the Saints?” SS: When we started playing full band shows early on, I didn’t want it to be called The Shane Smith Band, so I tried to think of a cool band name. It was first Shane Smith & the Six Gun Saints, and then Judy Hubbard, who was helping manage us at the time, talked me into shortening it. CW: What are some tips for aspiring artists? SS: Don’t write lyrics that a 60-year-old version of you won’t respect. You might have to sing that song for a long time. Second guess it if it doesn’t seem honest to yourself and constantly try to develop your sound and what makes you completely unique.

‘Everybody Wants Some!!’ speaks for itself KARA FELLOWS Assoc. A&L Editor kfellows@smu.edu Richard Linklater’s newest film “Everybody Wants Some!!,” which follows a college baseball team, is a total home run. The film takes place in Austin during the ’80s for four days before classes begin. Without practice or class, the guys get into serious shenanigans. “Everybody Wants Some!!” has been called the spiritual sequel to Linklater’s 1993 “Dazed and Confused” and even though it’s never mentioned in the movie, the overall message and tone makes it clear. The ensemble cast deals with the issues facing typical college students today, including questions

like: “What bar are we going to tonight?” “Who is that girl?” and “What would it be like to have a tail?” The cast includes Blake Jenner, Juston Street, Ryan Guzman, Tyler Hoechlin, Wyatt Russell, Glen Powell, Temple Baker and J. Quinton Johnson as members of the college champion baseball team. Part of what made the film so fun to watch was the team’s chemistry. “Even the first day we were palling around and getting along,” Russell said during an interview with the SMU Campus Weekly arts & life editor Riley Coven. “I think that speaks to Rick’s casting ability to be able to find guys that are going to gel well with one another.” If you took away the bell-bottoms and switched up the music, the whole film

could take place today. At its heart, “Everybody Wants Some!!” is a story about a group of guys in college trying to make the most of their last days of summer. The struggles they face are universal and the friendships they form are founded on the same things that build relationships in college today. The party montages are punctuated by moments that are reflective without being overdone and the final scene brings home the film in such a satisfying way that holds together the authenticity of the film. All together “Everybody Wants Some!!” is bound to be one of the best films of the summer. It’s the film you’ll think about for weeks and will be dying to watch again.

Advisors, students share insight on applying for graduate school EMMA HORNER Contributing Writer ehorner@smu.edu It’s that time of year where high school and college seniors anxiously wait to learn their fates: which university will they call “home” for the next three or four years? The undergraduate and graduate school application processes have many similarities. Standout students have maintained high GPA’s, impressive test scores, academic transcripts and have written essays. Both application processes have elements that make students anxious. However, many students find the undergraduate school application is less stressful, mostly because it has less of a “rest of your life” focus. “It’s more straightforward, simple for undergraduate majors,” said Kay Kuner, Simmons School of Education and Human Development adviser.

Graduate school applications at SMU vary depending on which school students wish to attend. First-year Dedman Law School student Morgan Bufkin graduated from SMU in spring of 2015. She saw many similarities in her undergraduate and graduate school applications. “You still have to write essays about how diverse you are, what makes you stand out, what is your most important life experience and why you want to study law,” Bufkin said. Admission counselor Mackenzie Daniel agrees both the undergraduate and graduate schools’ application processes are similar. “I do believe that both sides utilize their applications as a tool to identify students who are incredibly well-rounded,” Daniel said. “Regardless of whether a student is looking to be an undergraduate or graduate member of the

SMU community, there is still a desire for students to be academically engaged along with being involved within the collegiate community.” However similar they may be, Daniel disagrees with Kuner that the undergraduate application is simpler than the graduate school application. “Neither are simple,” Daniel said. “Both require sincere reflection and demonstration of personal goals and what students hope to gain from being part of the SMU community.” Kuner thinks graduate school requires a student to have his or her priorities in sight. “If you’re going to do graduate school, you have to be pretty serious about it,” Kuner said. Daniel said the graduate school application requires more forethought and planning from students. “The graduate application is going to be looking for students to be more focused

on their professional career goals,” Daniel said. Bufkin’s experiences in applying to law schools required her to think about her life three years into the future. She had to consider what would happen after her graduation from law school. “You really have to be strategic this time about where you want to go to law school, based on reputation, what kinds of courses and career/ networking connections they may have access to — things you didn’t have to pay attention to so much when applying for undergraduate,” Bufkin said. Though the undergraduate and graduate applications have many similarities, they are separated four years. Students attend college to have new experiences and grow. Their four years attending an undergraduate university will have changed them, which will be reflected in their applications to graduate school.

Turnpike Troubadours rock the Rustic KATIE BUTLER Assignments Desk Editor kdbutler@smu.edu As a part of their 2016 tour, the Turnpike Troubadours, an American red dirt group from Oklahoma, visited the Rustic April 21, selling out the entire venue. With band members Evan Felker on vocals and guitar, bassist R.C. Edwards, fiddler Kyle Nix, guitarist Ryan Engleman and drummer Giovanni Carnuccio, the band played for a roaring crowd starting at 9 p.m. after opener Mike and the Moonpies. Accented by blue and

green lights, the Turnpike Troubadours took the stage and were greeted by a cheering crowd, many of whom sang along to the band’s songs word by word, clapping and dancing along to the beat. “Turnpike put on a great show Thursday,” said Samantha Hankins, 23, who moved to Dallas for work last year. “I love that the Rustic is able to host shows like that, because the intimate atmosphere definitely contributed to the experience.” With music inspired by the genres of Americana, roots music, acoustic, folk, rock and country, the

band has been working together since 2005 and has a record deal with Bossier City Records. Anyone who comes to their concerts will “start to hear the music — rockin’ hard, lashed by burnin’ fiddle and guitar… with a deep-rooted soul that’s impossible to resist,” according to the group’s Facebook page. In 2007, the group released its first album “Bossier City,” followed by “Diamonds and Gasoline” in 2010, “Goodbye Normal Street” in 2012 and “The Turnpike Troubadours” in 2015. The band’s 2012 album “Goodbye Normal” peaked at No. 57 on the

Billboard 200. At the Rustic, concertgoers were invited to sip on drinks and eat starting at 5 p.m. and the front and back porches of the Rustic were open for patrons. Those in attendance could either stand in the mosh pit or sit on the hill surrounding the venue. “Between the show and the brisket tacos, it was a night to remember,” Hankins said. The band will be continuing its cross-country tour throughout this year, bringing the high energy from its show in Dallas to every stop.

Students offer opposing views on SMU abortion memorial debate I stepped out onto the Dallas Hall Lawn and couldn’t believe my eyes. Thousands of crosses. An incredible sight. What for? I took a closer look and read the signs accompanying them — and learned that this was a pro-life demonstration. The instant I learned this, I knew I wanted to respond. Not with an attack, but with an honest counterargument. I posted my response online that night. The next day it had over 20,000 views. Wednesday, 80,000. Today, more than 100,000. The response has been incredible — but not without its difficulties. Many people who disagree with me have resorted not to addressing the actual issues raised, but exploiting the wording of my argument. Words are put in my mouth; I’m accused of telling women that in order to be successful, they must have an abortion. I never said that, and I don’t believe it. I hope you don’t either. Pro-choice is not pro-abortion, but rather the acknowledgment that women have bodily autonomy and no one can force a woman to carry a pregnancy to term. In the video, I briefly mention mental illness. Again, those who disagree have tried to twist my words and insinuate that I’ve told women to abort any fetus that has a detectable underdevelopment, or any fetus that could ever possibly fall ill when born. Nothing could be further from the truth. I list underdevelopment — of any kind, mental or physical — as one possible reason, among many others. But, through all the attempts to misconstrue my

message, I have received an overwhelmingly supportive and loving response, both from people on campus and from total strangers online. I don’t have the words to thank people for this amazing response. In the midst of this incredible and exciting reaction, I want to say that it’s not about me. It’s about us. It’s about human rights. I encourage everyone to speak up and speak out against the effort to take away a woman’s right to choose. There are many women who can have children and accomplish amazing things in life, such as a college degree or an impressive career. The president of “Students for Life of America,” who responded to my video with one of her own, seemed to think that I didn’t know this. I do, because my mother is one of those women. She raised my sister and I after going to college, getting an education and being an actress — one of the most difficult industries for women. However, not every woman is able to do what my mother did. Not every woman, every family, is as fortunate. Not every woman is given the opportunities or privilege needed to make it happen. And that is why I am pro-choice. I’ll say it again: pro-choice is not pro-abortion. Prochoice is saying, “your body is not my body, your life is not my life, your experiences are not my experiences, and I respect that.”

A memorial of almost 3,000 wooden crosses, which represent the number of abortions that occur every day in the United States, was placed on this campus continuing a three-year tradition. Why did this year cause such a disturbance? Why did this year cause so much pain? The reason is because of the word “shame.” The overwhelming response of our student body is to defend the dignity of the women who have had abortions. But the crosses on the lawn do not create shame. Shame results from the hurt that is carried by a woman after such a difficult process. We have heard that this display acted as a trigger for many women. It breaks my heart to think some of you felt ashamed by this display. I am sorry you have had to walk around with that pain. Part of this memorial is meant to use that feeling to let you know you are not alone. If you have had an abortion you should not feel ashamed. Shame is neither constructive nor healing. Instead we invite you to use this time to accept what has happened, grieve for your loss and find healing so

you do not carry this pain. Whether you have stood as pro-life or pro-choice or neither, abortion is still a difficult process for any woman. This fact is ignored by so many people. You deserve help from medical professionals in your recovery from abortion. Whether you regret your abortion or not it still affects you and that does not mean you are weak, broken or unloved — because you are loved. If this memorial affected you, I would encourage you to reach out for assistance. Come and speak with Mustangs for Life or seek professional help from Birth Choice Dallas or Uptown Women’s Center, which both specialize in postabortion counseling. An abortion causes the end of a human life and it is a natural response to feel remorse or even pain from it, however the guilt and shame that so many women have expressed can be turned to healing.

Women’s style is ‘borrowed from the boys’ JOHN MCCARTHY Contributing Writer jmccarthy@smu.edu SMU sophomore Marisol Leiva isn’t usually one to borrow from the boys. “What comes to mind when I think of menswear for women isn’t really my style, but I didn’t really consider that a blazer or leather jacket were originally designed only for men,” Leiva said. It’s true: women’s style has been influenced over the decades by traditional menswear as designers have adapted during war times and cultural shifts to make clothing that is both feminine and fierce. Before World War I, Paris led the world of fashion. According to The Guardian’s Lauren Cochrane, things shifted due to the struggles of the war and the lack of communication between the United States and Europe, and New York emerged as a fashion leader with new designs based on femininity and practicality. Due to the men heading off to war, women and girls were forced to take over their jobs by performing as administrators, drivers, nurses and farmers. Many of their jobs required uniforms that required them to wear pants. Coco Chanel popularized women wearing pants by often dressing in her boyfriend’s suits. She began to design pants for women in the early 20th century. Yves Saint Laurent was also considered one of the biggest contributors to the trend by introducing a line of dinner jackets with trousers in the 1960s, according to SMU fashion media professor Chelsea Bell. “I think the biggest thing we see today that is borrowed from the boys are the presence of men’s suiting fabrics in women’s wear and the boyfriend jean and button-down shirts,” Bell said. The creative use of fabrics was revolutionary and put Yves Saint Laurent on the map as a forward-thinking designer. Women wearing trousers was still taboo in the 1960s, so when it came down from high fashion and was presented with elegance, it was a big step forward for fashion and women. In the 1980s, the power suit emerged, which was a women’s suit adapted from menswear styles. This time, it included a skirt. “The style was influenced by the women’s rights movement and the push for gender equality in the workplace,” Bell said. The trend has popped up today on the red carpet.

Rihanna wore a white suit to the 2011 Billboard Awards.

“So many celebrities from Kendall Jenner to Rihanna to Angelina Jolie have rocked menswear styles on the red carpet and wowed us all,” SMU sophomore style watcher Haley Duncan said. Another garment that’s been popularized for women is the leather jacket. According to E! Style, the leather jacket was originally designed as a protective outer layer for German fighter pilots. In the late 1920s, Irving Schott designed the first motorcycle jacket for Harley Davidson called the “Perfecto.” In the 1930s and 1940s, leather jackets were considered a standard flight jacket. In the 1960s, Yves Saint Laurent designed a motorcycle jacket in an alligator skin that glamorized them, but it was during the 1970s and 1980s that jackets were popularized and geared toward both men and women as part of the punk rock movement. Today, the leather jacket has found its place in high fashion with designers like Rick Owens and Balenciaga. Leather jackets can pass as casual or formal wear, and definitely show that they can be classified as a unisex piece. “Menswear and androgynous clothing has been on the rise the past few years, but the trend is rooted in classic silhouettes that have been around for decades,” said Shelby Foster, NorthPark Center’s assistant manager of public relations. “Sharp blazers, crisp white shirts, and a great oxford flat are all items that have now become staples in many women’s wardrobes.” Foster, an SMU graduate, believes that the trend is here to stay. “It’s proven its popularity over the last few seasons and has earned the status of classic, must-have staples that work well with many personal styles and also, other trends,” Foster said.
