LETTER from the editor This issue has brought a whirlwind of complications to the Trend Staff and we were faced with obstacles that could have prevented this whole publication, but we persevered. This issue is brought to you by the hard work of each memberranging from model to designer we have all put in our fair share of blood, sweat, and tears and I could not be prouder of this issue.

Don’t sweat it Workout Clothes can be Trendy and Practical by Jackie Goldman
A
thletic clothes are becoming a major trend. Men and women everywhere are beginning to spend as much time picking out their workout outfits as they are on their regular clothes. Not only is time being spent but money as well, therefore the distinction between everyday pieces and athletic wear is decreasing. This lifestyle is perfect for the active college student who is scrambling to go from yoga to biology class or has dance rehearsal or basketball practice in the middle of the day. Due to the stylization of workout clothes, students and people everywhere are more comfortable rocking their gym clothes throughout the day. The current trends in athletic wear are largely focused around the leggings. Leggings are versatile, comfortable, and fit all shapes and sizes. You can wear them cropped or ankle length and they come in different colors, patterns and fabrics. You can take fashion risks by
sporting a pair of purple- stripped leggings or keep it simple with a slimming black pant. Running shoes are another stylistic element to a gym outfit for both men and women. Not only are running shoes a great way to keep your feet comfortable and pain free but they are also a simple way to express your style. Nikes are now being worn with all outfits due to the release of constant new styles. One can pick from an assortment of shoes that come in every color imaginable and most brands even offer customizable sneakers so that you can really show your own style. Athletic clothes are changing the fashion game by expressing ones personality while providing comfort and practicality. It is proven that feeling confident in your workout clothes provides increased mental positivity which leads to stronger and more productive exercise.

The Sound of Sunshine
by Sherilyn Reus
A
s we watch the clouds and rain shy away, the sun is surely creeping out and ready to play. We live in sunny California, so what better way to enjoy the sun than to be vibing along to good music in the midst of carefree crowds? You guessed it--it’s festival season. From FYF Fest, Outside Lands, Coachella, to Sun God, this Festival guide will surely keep you prepared and let’s not forget, trendy.
FESTIVAL PACKING 101: WHAT’S IN MY BAG? These items are absolute necessities at outdoor music festivals. Pack it all in a cute fanny pack or satchel bag. Remember to look online at the respective festival’s website to see what you’re allowed to bring in!
1. Relax with a BLANKET - You’re going to want to sit down in between watching performances. 2. Stay hydrated with a WATER CANTEEN Don’t risk dehydration at a sunny festival! 3. Protect with SUNSCREEN - Don’t get hurt by the sun’s harmful rays. 4. Rid of germs with HAND SANITIZER Sometimes even the line to wash your hands is extremely long. Hand sanitizer is easy and convenient! 5. Keep kissable with CHAPSTICK - Your lips can get a bit chapped when you’re in the sun for long. 6. CASH for all situations - Many festival vendors don’t take card. Have a few dollar bills ready for these moments. 7. Hide from dust with a SCARF - Festival grounds can be quite windy sometimes with dirt flying everywhere. Don’t inhale the dust by blocking it out with a scarf. 8. Shield the sun with some SUNNIES - Screen your eyes from the beaming sun. 9. Keep dry with a PACK OF TISSUES - Sometimes porta-potties and hand-washing stations don’t supply tissue. You’ll be prepared in moments like these!

FESTIVAL fashion 101: While people come to festivals for the music, there is no forgetting the endless chic outfits all around. When festival season comes around, clothing stores are a fashionista’s playground. From bohemian chic to urban street, you can play with any style when it comes to your festival outfit. Keep it light and comfortable-you’ll want to dance freely and easily in the blazing sun. Hannah Lee (left) tells us, “I go to festivals every year. I’m a music lover, but picking out my outfits has to be one of the funnest parts too! I like playing with prints, throwing them into random aspects of my outfit.”
HAIR AND MAKEUP LOOKS: A dewy, almost “no-makeup” makeup look screams festival beauty. You can achieve this natural, yet elegant glow with just a few products! Apply your favorite foundation then puff some of Becca’s “Shimmering Skin Perfector” on your cheekbones. Lightly fill in eyebrows with Anastasia’s dipbrow pomade and an angled brush, then curl your lashes and apply several coats of Urban Decay’s “Better than Sex” waterproof mascara. Finally, mattify and seal the look with Urban Decay’s setting spray. For hair, wave thick strands with a heated curling wand. Remember to embrace the messy look! Finish with some hairspray or mousse.

Shanghai Street Style Story by Julie Wu

P
rior to heading to Shanghai for a study abroad trip, I had never thought about fashion in China. As a country that’s been through its peaks and lows over the last five decades, China has been recently fostering a steadily growing street style scene, produced mostly by urban creative living in the city. During the Cultural Revolution and Great Leap Forward, mundane colors and minimal silhouettes were encouraged. The Mao suit also made a huge debut. The more one looked like everyone else, the better. China’s opening up in 1978 has not only allowed much of foreign influence to affect the way people dress, but has also been able to reestablish a creative atmosphere among cities where individuality is celebrated. After four months of living in the fabulous city of Shanghai, I can confidently say that street style there is the most unique I’ve ever seen. I’ve been pleasantly shocked by how seriously Chinese city dwellers take their fashion, how they define “overthe-top” dressing, and how they are almost never afraid to douse themselves with every color under the rainbow. The street style in Shanghai is very bizarre (in a great way). Colorblocking can be done with brights, pastels, neutrals, and even variations of the same shade. Accessories make the outfit. Many people wear baseball caps stamped by the logo of their favorite streetwear brand, or handbags shaped like their favorite animals. To them, accessories are meant to act as a statement, not only as a subtle way to put together an outfit. When I was there, I also saw a huge trend in “flatforms” - platform shoes that are flat all the way along the sole. There were meshed ones, glittered, patterned, and even fuzzy ones. Colorblocked sneakers were always on trend. What I loved the most about how people wore them was that they were not afraid to pair a bright ensemble with bright shoes. They broke all the “rules” and embraced it. Color head to toe was never a fashion mishap, but instead a chance for them to play creatively with different palettes and experiment with brights and neutrals. Another way mixing and matching could be seen in street style was the way they paired grunge with feminine. An outfit would be to pair a t-shirt with a tutu and some white, clean Adidas sneakers. It seems completely offsetting at first, but altogether, it made a unique and funky outfit. Of course, there were also those who preferred a simple, streamlined, and clean look to their outfits. I remember seeing a woman at a café wearing head-to-
toe black, pairing a boxy button-down shirt with a taffeta midi skirt. Typically, we assume that if the top half of an outfit is loose, the bottom should be tight, or vice versa. But this fearless fashionista broke the rules (once again) by styling an outfit that looked surprisingly put together and polished. A lot of these minimalist dressers also wore a lot of earthy tones and neutrals, such as straw fedoras or beige leather. They seem to be more concerned about the quality and the silhouette of each piece than the whole outfit itself. On the contrary, there were those whose extreme quirkiness can be seen through the color of their lipstick or the pattern of their socks. Little details such as mismatched socks and shoelaces added such a fun touch to outfits. Of course, there were also the big pieces, such as neon green harem pants and heavily studded backpacks that would make a passerby glance more than twice. These quirky outfits could even sometimes be loud from head to toe, making the whole look one big statement. I admire how unapologetic and fierce these fashionistas in Shanghai were, and it was so inspiring to see the art of so many creative minds out on the street. In downtown Shanghai, there were a lot of local designer boutiques, owned by people who wanted to steer away from mainstream trends and create a brand for themselves that is reflective of their own vision. Though a large number of Chinese people are still obsessive about owning the latest color of Ferragamo flats or sporting the newest Prada bag, there has been an increasing amount of urban youth gravitating towards owning pieces that are more personalized and one-of-a-kind. To them, these are the pieces that have stories behind them, and that are crafted by owners who are passionate about feeding their skill and spreading that love and creativity around. These street boutiques were diverse and eclectic in every way, ranging from minimalistic and modern styles, to embellished and retro vintagewear. Simply walking by these streets can give anyone inspiration. The street style scene in Shanghai is bold. Though perhaps not understood by most traditional minds, this new creative culture has become a way for youth to communicate themselves. Furthermore, it has allowed them to express their own characters, to network with others, and to build community. It’s not that China is catching up to any other country, it’s that the fashion scene here is finally being recognized like it should. It’s a scene that should be represented by the right people, as well as respected by all people. And that’s the one thing I personally love most about fashion - it lets you be you, it empowers the invisible, and it connects people together.

A
couple months ago, Buzzfeed created a video montage showcasing “100 years of Makeup in Less Than a Minute”. It illustrated the transformation of makeup trends from 1910 to 2010. But before makeup was a form of self-expression and an art, application used to be a symbol of class and/or religion. The first to ever apply makeup were the Egyptians, and it wasn’t to look good--it was to please their gods. Makeup trends really flourished in the Roaring Twenties when consumerism boosted. Ivory pale skin was desired and achieved with loads of powder. Women emphasized their lips’ cupids bow with a red lip liner, drawing the line slightly below the natural lip line for a thinner look. Mascara was all the rage, and eyebrows were drew in very thin, but not sharply arched. Eyebrows and eyeshadows were shaped on the face to make women look “sad”, or to look droopy. The 1930’s and 1940’s stepped away from the sharp look of the 1920’s, and rather called for thicker eyebrows and natural tones on the eyes. Instead of being drawn in, eyebrows were lightly dusted with brown powder. Blush was big--women applied pink to their cheeks for a feminine feel. Red lips were still in, but some women stepped towards more pinky or mauve red tones. The 50’s is significant for their simple, yet iconic makeup look. A cat-eye and matte red lips, women didn’t have to put much effort in to look “beautiful”. As opposed to the 30’s and 40’s, cheeks were kept natural. Starlets like Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn were the face of the 1950’s makeup looks. Women’s hairstyles truly brought out the makeup, as big “Hollywood” style curls cascaded their faces. The Swingin’ Sixties transitioned from an emphasis on eyeliner to an emphasis on lashes. In order to make lashes pop, women stuck with pale pink or natural nude lips instead of the traditional red. This created a flirty, playful look. False lashes were placed on both top and bottom eyelids, and sometimes even falsely drawn. 1960’s fashion icon Twiggy made this look particularly popular.
22-23Trend.indd 2
Transitioning into the 1970’s, makeup was either very natural for the “hippies” or for others, full-out glam. Women started playing with a variety of colors all over their face, especially on the eyelids and lips. Green hues were particularly popular. For the more natural makeup wearers, bronzer and mascara were the only absolute essentials. The 1980’s was a decade filled with disco divas. Women worked unique, metallic eyeshadow colors and used lip gloss ever day. Hot pink was an essential color in a disco diva’s makeup collection. Celebrities like Madonna and Cyndi Lauper embodied the perfect 80’s chick--bold hair with an even bolder face. Makeup in the 90’s bared no strong theme, but an integration of many styles. Style of makeup and dress actuallydepended on who or what an individual associated themselves with. Those into heavy rock wore dark grunge makeup--all black eyeshadow and heavy eyeliner. Nowadays, every single feature of the face becomes important in a full-faced look. The emphasis of a “clean canvas” requires individuals to achieve a flawless foundation finish. Use of contouring kits is especially growing popular, as they hold powers to shape one’s face into something completely different. Typically, people highlight and contour their cheeks, nose, and forehead. In terms of eyebrows, the clean, arched look is a go-to. People typically fill in their eyebrows using a gradient, or “ombre” technique, in which the front of the eyebrows isn’t as filled in as the latter three-fourths. Though, models like Cara Delevigne are bringing back the bushy, untamed eyebrow look. Eyeshadow is worn in all types of colors, but with browns, creams, and golds being the “every day” wearable colors. False eyelashes have become a necessity for many, as it completes the glam by adding a hint of sultry or flirty. Additionally, makeup on the cheeks is growing to become more and more important. Highlight powders or cream illuminators are often applied to the top of the cheekbone in addition to the blush and bronzer. Everyday lipsticks are usually in “nude” tones, like mauve, browns, and pinks. Despite this era’s makeup look, some trends from the 90’s and before have remained or came back into style. For example, the cat eye is an everyday classic. Additionally, some women embrace the 70’s all-natural face, with “no-makeup makeup” looks. Although the makeup industry is constantly changing, some trends will forever remain beautiful. 23

he fashion industry overflows with glamor and some of the world’s most creative and hard-working people. From designers to editors to the models themselves, the fashion world is a melting pot of opportunity. However, this industry is definitely no easy task: a lot is required of future employees who want to make it big in a community filled of greats. With the evolution of the digital age and more jobs being created to suit the needs of the fast-paced work place (and the ever-so-hungry consumers), the fashion world does not exactly require a set path like many medical or scientific professions may have. It is constantly evolving with trends and commands of those higher up on the sartorial hierarchy. Interested in being someone in fashion? Here are some tips and words of advice that will help you get your foot in the door and make you stand out from the crowd of equally passionate fashionista/o’s.

RESEARCH
Research is key. This is probably the most common, yet easily missed element of any job opportunity. It is imperative that you research whatever company you want either intern or land a career in. The time spent learning about the person interviewing you or the company itself is sure to prepare you for any questions that may arise—you don’t want to risk saying a lot of “um’s” and “I don’t know’s.”
INTERN Now this may seem like an obvious tip, but having multiple (yes, I said multiple) internships will give you the upper hand. Fashion is almost all about experience and what you can offer to the table. If you have yet to start an internship, start now! Disclaimer: your first internship does not have to be the most glamorous. Take whatever opportunity you have, work hard, and show your boss that you can accomplish the tasks they give you and more.
SOCIAL MEDIA PRESENCE Your presence on the web is important now more than ever before. A lot of jobs may check in on your social media accounts and the fashion industry is no exception. A strong following and reliable content is always good, but if the former is difficult to obtain, make sure that what you put out on the Internet is safe even for your grandma to see.
CREATIVITY Fashion runs on creativity. The more ideas you have, the more likely you’ll get hired. It also helps to take initiative and start your create ideas either through blog or social media. Companies will see your original content and wonder why it took so long for them to hire you!
BE YOU The fashion world isn’t always the nicest place. There’s a lot of competition and sometimes, harsh words can be said. It’s important to stay true to yourself and never let the bullies bring you down. You may be rejected from one job, but another will soon be waiting at your door! Don’t attempt to be like someone else in order stay “in” or try to appeal to your interviewer. Your originality and uniqueness will shine through!

Tritons are always coming up with fresh, new ways to express styles that are trending all across U.S. campuses. Our boys here have been dressing in mellow tones and colors while accentuating clean cuts and simple accessories, emanating class with each put-together outfit. Button-downs in simple colors with minimal design and print, metallicembossed watches, and well-kept leather and suede shoes have been a popular theme this time of year at UCSD. It is definitely hard to go wrong with outfits as timeless and composed as these. For girls, there is still no shortage of crop tops! The lady Tritons have smartly paired them up with high-waisted jeans, either distressed or in dark, clean colors. Cardigans have been a year-long favorite across campus all year, and we can only foresee that repeating when fall quarter comes up in just a few months. As the weather gets warmer, however, sheer and pretty maxi skirts can be found sweeping the grounds of campus. Still, the warming weather has encouraged fun experimentation, and chunky sneakers, bold jumpsuits, and shiny accessories have captured the hearts of many.
