LETTER FROM THE EDITORS

For the past four semesters, Strike has been our creative outlet. It is through Strike that we have been able to cultivate a community that shares in our love for fashion, art, and writing. We are beyond grateful to have had the opportunity to express our creativity and create something striking to share with our community. We are so extremely proud of our Strike community and each and every member’s accomplishments, and we cannot wait to see what Strike has in store for the future. As you explore Issue 04, we hope you become immersed in The Delusion and fall just as in love with Strike as we have.

Creating a magazine over the course of a semester is no small feat, it requires extraordinary attention to detail and consistent presence at directors’ meetings, concept meetings, fittings, business calls, photoshoots; the list is seemingly endless. Obviously, we couldn’t do this alone. To Gracie and Ryan, we could not thank you enough for the sheer amount of hours, hard work, passion, and creativity you have put into this Issue. To Katelyn, thank you for your persistent dedication to Strike and for keeping us on track when it comes to all things business. Lastly, to our staff members, we could not be more grateful for all sixty-one of you. Through every obstacle we have faced, whether that be changes in studios or concept switches, you have all approached this semester with a degree of passion and enthusiasm that we believe is taking Strike to the next level. This issue would not be possible without each and every one of you.

As always, Strike out, Taylor Dellelce and Alexy Monsalve
