iranda Grimes

Major: Fashion “I feel so inspired every single day by the people in my life being their most authentic self and seeing their passion. It’s infectious. I express myself creatively in so many ways. I love art and fashion, travel, I love to create and use my hands, even just something as simple as scrolling through Pinterest and making moodboards, it all sparks my creativity. Shopping is definitely a big one, too. I love seeing designer collections, going to vintage stores, secondhand stores, and putting together outfits. I’m very inspired by my day to day, seeing the outfits everyone around me wears, the places I go, being in fashion school, in the city, in my friend groups. I am so inspired by the people around me and always surround myself with passionate people. I also aim to fill my social media with inspiring and creative people. I follow artists, designers, stylists, bloggers, content creators, floral designers, anyone who is passionate about their creations and

4inspires me. My social media is a creative escape for me.”

“To me, creativity is or can be anything we want it to be as it’s a way to express ourselves without any limitations.

ustainable fashion is a term that is increasingly gracing the covers of magazines and articles across the globe as individuals continue to become aware of the environmental impact of their clothing. However, especially during the pandemic, we saw a reversal in the movement towards a more sustainable future. Social media platforms such as Tik Tok began to spread new fashion trends almost weekly, exasperating another source of concern for the environment known as “extreme fast fashion” by its low price and ease of access. Pieces of clothing are now considered worn out after a measly one to two wears according to the Business of Fashion 2019 State of Fashion Report. It is even now often considered a fashion faux pas to be photographed in the same article of clothing more than once. This leads to three out of every five garments of clothing ending up in a landfill within the first year of the purchase. How can we become more sustainable with our fashion cycle in the state that it’s currently in? It is important to consider purchasing from sustainable brands that source their garments from natural fibers such as cotton, jute, or silk. A few highly transparent brands that stand out to conscious consumers might include Stella McCartney, Prada Re-Nylon, or Chopova Lowena. These brands use dead stock, a term to describe leftover fabric as their main source to create sustainable garment lines. 9

Another way a consumer may engage in sustainable practices would be to shop for quality over quantity, investing in high-quality garments that will last for years to come rather than the less expensive “trendy” items that will likely fall apart and go out of style quickly. Fast Fashion brands draw in consumers through the use of lower prices. However, the quality as well as ethical factors of the item is what you are paying for as these products are often made with low quality materials in less than standardized factories. Many people don’t realize that discarded garments can take over two-hundred years to decompose in a landfill and often has a short wear life. Essentially, by paying slightly more for a garment made of a higher quality material, one allows for a longer garment wear life. Properly caring for your clothing will also increase the wear life of the garment. Each item has a tag that details how to wash and dry the garment, and understanding how frequently it is essential to wash an item can maximize its lifespan as well. For example blouse or shirt should be washed after every two wears while jeans should only be washed after every five wears. When a garment does become slightly worn or is no longer of use consumers should try to upcycle or recycle their garments. Several companies like Patagonia and Levis are encouraging this process through their own recycle and repair programs. Finally, consumers can consider secondhand buying from apps or local thrift shops, swapping clothing with family, and renting clothing from companies such as Rent the Runway rather than always buying new. There are many ways to become more sustainable within the fashion industry and as brands and individuals continue to work together, more sustainable practices and values are becoming a norm for societies fashion industry.

quality over quantity

There is a popular saying that says,

“don’t judge a book by its cover.” I would argue, that statement might not be entirely accurate. Fashion has the power to boldly state who we are before we even have a chance to speak. A person’s unique style can convey so much about how a person feels on the inside. Fashion is more than just beautiful clothes , although that is certainly a great part of it. It is an entire art form that is used to express our individuality and can serve as a medium that allows our creativity to run free. Our clothes are also constantly changing as our feelings change as well. As humans, our thoughts, emotions, and circumstances are constantly evolving and our personal style changes with us. We might opt for bold pieces when we feel powerful and confident, or pastel colors when we feel calm and introverted. Even a laid-back look might communicate the feeling we simply don’t care what we throw on- which is a statement in itself. A great example of this is the grunge style popularized by famous grunge musician, Kurt Cobain. He often sported ripped jeans, tattered converse sneakers, and old second-hand flannels. While trying to reject fashion and style, he did the opposite by creating a style of his own. Grunge caught the attention of famous designers and was introduced world by Marc Jacobs and just one example of how is. It is a collection of our

to the high fashion Anna Sui. This is powerful fashion values,

ideas and ultimately will leave a stamp of ourselves wherever we go. Even when you try not to be a part of it, fashion naturally happens. So why not embrace it and use it to our full potential? That is also the beauty of style you can create and choose whatever style best fits you. It is a celebration of who you are at this moment.

Apart from clothing being able to convey what

we are feeling, clothing also gives us the opportunity to make a statement-whatever that statement might be. Fashion is thought of as being parallel to thoughts and values that society might currently hold. In our current generation, fashion is becoming much more fluid and genderless. Androgynous fashion is much more inclusive, many garments and fabrics are no longer being divided into gender categories. Some artists, such as David Bowie, were ahead of their times and have been incorporating unconventional pieces into their wardrobe traditionally meant to be for the opposite gender, for years now. Today, runway shows have men sporting clothing that is tight with soft silhouettes. Women wearing blazers are so common nowadays, something that was not the case decades ago. Today you often see women pairing leather oversized blazers with a bodycon dresses or other traditionally feminine pieces, using a piece of clothing that is strong and bold, then adding their feminine flair to it by pairing it with something that hugs their curves. As people’s mindsets progress, art, and fashion are sure to follow. This opens up the capability for people to truly explore not only fabric pieces but themselves as well. A more aware and mindful society could be what is on the horizon and this is something undeniably worth celebrating.

Fashion statements were not always as accepted and could very much defy an idea our current so-

ciety might still value. In the mid-1970s, punk was on the rise and youth were rebelling against conformity and rigidity in the UK. Studs, dark, ripped clothing, and patches were all viewed as a disruptive stance taken against the government; so much so that many punk shows were underground and often broken up by

16police. There was also an underground fashion movement, where people were able to use clothing solely as

self-expression rather than for a marketplace. Movements such as these gave rise to popular fashion designers such as Vivienne Westwood. In addition, Coco Chanel also made a dent in the world in the 1920s when she began to popularize women wearing pantsuits so women could still be comfortable while remaining modern and feminine. Women like her who were ahead of their time used their talents to change not only fashion but gave way for a new era and way of life. Some may scoff and undermine the power of clothing, but fashion is different from any other art form as it requires the consumer to interact with the piece-the wearer gives the garment life.

While you may not be looking to make a political change, shaping your style can

greatly improve not only your image but acts as a self-introduction to the world. It is these subtleties that can have the biggest influence. If you enjoy a simple, minimalistic approach to fashion, curate a color palette that you enjoy and opt for more earthy, neutral tones. Your wardrobe should grow slowly and with intention. Put thought into what pieces you choose to buy and ask if they are reflective of who you are, rather than choosing pieces solely based on popularity and trends. Do what feels right and comfortable to you. Curate your style and you can curate your world.

ilan fashion week for Spring and Summer 2022 occurred this September and it was nothing short of fabulous! With Milan being one of the fashion capitals of the world, Milan fashion week produces many of the prominent fashion trends that stretch worldwide. Highlighting major brands like Prada, Fendi, Giorgio Armani, Versace, Missoni, Salvatore Ferragamo etc. at Milan fashion week, we were able to see some unique looks and get a glance at some upcoming trends to look forward to. We will explore five upcoming trends that will be prominent this spring/ summer that you won’t want to miss! Crotchet Crotchet was a popular trend in the 60’s that was used to make clothing and other crafts and goods. Milan fashion week this year reinvented the crochet look to be sophisticated and chic! With colorful patterns, fringe, and intricate designs, crochet is now taking on a new stylish look. This trend will be seen in the form of shirts, skirts, vests and more! Jil Sander presented a crocheted 7/8ths length dress that was refreshing and elevated! With a unique zig zag stripe pattern, this outfit gives inspiration to others for how to create modern crochet looks. Crochet clothing is perfect for spring and summer because it is breathable! It can be a statement piece to elevate your outfit, and it will turn heads in a good way. This is a trend you won’t want to miss out on this spring and summer! Low Rise Skirts Another trend we will see this spring/summer is low rise skirts. Asymmetrical dipping lower on one hip, these skirts are perfect to show off your figure while still looking effortless. Low rise skirts are simple in structure but add so much to an outfit! This style can take on a boho feel or can be more

sophisticated and chic for a night out. Among other brands, Versace showcased a skirt of this style for Milan fashion week. Their knee length black skirt with white stitching was flowy and looked beautiful as the model walked down the runway. Adding a low rise skirt to your wardrobe is an easy way to keep up on the trends this spring/summer! Many high end retail brands will have variations of this look, or for a more affordable option you can find similar styles at Nordstrom. Yellow Garments Often considered a springtime color, it is no surprise that yellow garments are going to be a trend this spring/ summer season! Brands like Sunnei, Sportsmax, Prada and Versace all showcased looks with varying shades and hues of yellow. This broad variety of yellows will ensure that everyone will be able to follow the trend and find a shade of yellow to wear that best compliments their features! Yolk yellow and lemon yellow were the most prominent shades of yellow showcased at fashion week, but there were also many brighter and muted shades of yellow to give inspiration for this season. It’s time to invest in some yellow attire! Light and

cheery, yellow will be a vibrant addition to your closet and will be an easy way to stay trendy this season. Maybe even try out a few different shades so you can sport yellow looks throughout the season at a variety of events! The higher end brands listed above will all have varying shades of yellow to purchase this season, and many other brands will follow after their lead.

Mini Skirts Skirts are a popular trend for this spring/ summer, and will be seen in many different silhouettes! Another style of skirts that we will see are mod mini skirts. Similar to styles seen in the 60’s, designers are taking a modern twist by adding vibrant colors and design details to differentiate it from your average everyday skirt. These skirts were also accessorised with ranging styles of belts, adding another interesting layer to the trend. Mini skirts are perfect for spring/ summer weather, and adding a belt to the outfit will allow you to customize your look to make it unique everytime you wear it! Prada showcased many miniskirts for this upcoming season, but similar styles that are more budget friendly can be found at stores like Lulu’s and Madewell!

Swimwear Tops Swimwear is becoming the new undergarment worn with layered pieces! Ditch your basic tees and tank tops, as this spring/ summer season wearing triangle swimsuit tops or one pieces will be the new style of undershirt. These styles can be worn alone and act as the primary shirt, or can be layered under blazers, button downs etc. to provide a more modern take on formal wear. Fendi presented a look including an all white tailored suit with a white triangle swimsuit top for the undershirt. This look

was sleek and fresh, providing a modernized take on the suit. This style is easy to recreate at home as well! You can purchase this look from designers featured at Milan fashion week, or you can pair formal wear pieces with different swimsuit styles to achieve a similar look.

Sirens

: half-bird, half-human creatures found in Greek Mythology with voices that are irresistable to humans.

“But when we were as far distant as a man can make himself heard when he shouts, driving swiftly on our way, the Sirens failed not to note the swift ship as it drew near, and they raised their clear-toned song: “‘Come hither, as thou farest, renowned Odysseus, great glory of the Achaeans; stay thy ship that thou mayest listen to the voice of us two. For never yet has any man rowed past this isle in his black ship until he has heard the sweet voice from our lips. Nay, he has joy of it, and goes his way a wiser man. For we know all the toils that in wide Troy the Argives and Trojans endured through the will of the gods, and we know all things that come to pass upon the fruitful earth.’” -Homer, The Odyssey 12.153

BLOG SNEAK PEEK Timeless Fashion: The Little Black Dress by Addie Waller

Within the fashion industry, there is an ever-alternating pattern of trends rotating throughout the decades. Pieces are “in” suddenly, and “out” just as quickly, leaving consumers searching for the next best thing. However, there are a few key pieces everyone tends to have in their wardrobe that never go out of style. For example, a classic white tee, a pair of black heels, a perfect pair of denim, etc., are all items that may be used as the basis for a variety of outfits, no matter the occasion. Also included in this list is the famous Little Black Dress, a huge part of fashion history and a timeless classic. In 1926, an illustration of a simple black dress with long, narrow sleeves was published by American Vogue. The message of the publication was that the newly-dubbed “LBD” was a simple garment accessible to all women, regardless of their social class. Created by Parisian designer Coco Chanel, this spin on the classic cocktail dress became known as ‘Chanel’s Ford’, signifying that it would be as common and affordable as Ford’s model-T car. The dress was released during the time of the Great Depression... when affordable options for textiles were of special importance. Textiles and fabrics had to be rationed later during the war, and the LBD remained a staple piece due to its elegance and budget-friendly price tag... READ MORE ON THE BLOG

Dress to Impress...Yourself! by Allie Woodard “He is going to love that shirt on you!” “Dress to impress your employer!” and “Buy it, everyone has one!” These statements that are heard by everyone reinforce the idea that you should dress to satisfy others. I say, dump trying to dress for others and, instead, dress to impress yourself! Expectation, fashion, and judgment are often intertwined — just like your favorite knit sweater. While there is something to be said for being dressed appropriately for the occasion, too much emphasis is placed on what others will think. This can lead to judgmental attitudes when somebody dresses in an unexpected — but entirely “appropriate” — manner. This then reinforces the fashion “norm.” However, there are no such thing as fashion “norms” because everyone’s perception and views on fashion are different. This leads to the fact that dressing to impress others will never satisfy everyone. So, instead of being so worried about others, people should dress in a manner that inspires, motivates, and pleases themselves rather than others.... READ MORE ON THE BLOG
