Sean Couey– the man behind the lens for UCSD’s street style

Girls Run the World Stilettos trump a “man’s, man’s world”

LETTER from

the editor

This issue has probably been one of the most exciting to work on with the contributors and the staff of Trend. Trend magazine was always focused on women’s fashion and design, and every launch party, I’d always get similar feedback from our smaller male audience saying, “Your magazine looks great and I can’t believe students put these together! I wish I could show up at your launch party and all, but I honestly would feel extremely singled out as a guy showing up to a fashion event”, “I wish you guys did a segment on menswear cause it could definitely come in handy for a lot of us, guys.” Taking this into account, the ladies at Trend and I have been hit with a recent menswear-fever. Winter just calls for LAYERS, LAYERS, AND MORE LAYERS, so after gawking over countless men’s boots, shawl collars, patterned button-downs and bow ties that were taking the runways by a storm, we decided to try

2

something new and have a menswear issue for the first time.

Needless to say, this issue was extremely exciting to work on, as our ladies began bringing our A-game into this work. In the end, our collaborative work towards a new menswear issue with a spin off of a women’s power issue ended up, reflecting our own staff as a powerful team with an edge for fashion. We hope you all enjoy our fruits of labor and get to share the same rush of passion and excitement we all got at our pride and joy! Share with us what you thought of the issue and what else you’d love to see in our upcoming issues at trenducsd@gmail.com Stay classy, San Diego! xoxo,

Sarah Chung

Fashion &Silicon Valley Marissa Meyer, the present CEO of Yahoo! is the youngest CEO of a Fortune 500 company and she was also the first female engineer at Google. She graduated with honors from Stanford University with a B.S. in symbolic systems and a M.S. in Computer Science. Often compared to as the female Mark Zuckerberg of Silicon Valley, Marissa Meyer could not be any different. Ms. Meyer’s sartorial choices are just as watched as the daily stock value of her company. The newest fans of the multi-billion Fashion industry is Silicon Valley, breaking the geek stereotype in Northern California.

While the fashion industry has long been scorned and criticized by skeptics for being superficial, the tables are turned in the hoodiedominated tech society. According to tech entrepreneur Leila Janah, “ the perception in Silicon Valley is that if you dress well, you couldn’t possibly

6

be smart”. Many women even describe a pressure to blend in, in order to look smart. It is no question that women are already a minority in science and math majors, and they stand out simply for being a woman. In Silicon Valley, women represent only 5% of founders and executives of tech-startups, a quarter of professionals, and 11% of tech investors. Marissa Meyer believes that the key to encouraging more women into pursuing science and technology fields is to promote their femininity: “You can be into fashion and you don’t have to be the pasty white programmer with a pocket protector staying up all night.”

To all the ladies working nights away in the Computer Science dungeon or representing the minority in Fluid Mechanics with 60 guys; just remember, your berry lipstick doesn’t diminish your coding skills.

Sean Couey I

Founder of SHOWMEUCSD.com n the midst of a bustling campus like UCSD,

where everyone is busy trying to rush to their next lecture on the other side of our immense school grounds, or weaving through student traffic to escape the mass marketing taking place on Library Walk, it’s hard to notice the diverse culture around us. Transfer student, Sean Couey, decided to do us a favor by taking the time to look up at the diversity on campus in the form of fashion through his camera lens. La Jolla may definitely not be the fast-paced city full of culture conspicuously apparent at every corner like the fashion central cities of New York City or Los Angeles, as we imagine, but Sean turned our peaceful college town into his own personal LOOKBOOK in his street style blog–SHOWMEUCSD.COM

INTERVIEW Q&A BY SARAH CHUNG

Sarah: So, right off the bat: What inspired you to start SHOWMEUCSD? Sean: I really wanted some experience; I wanted something to show for myself. I was interested in fashion as a possible career path and knew that experience would increase my chances for future employment. I was having a hard time finding ways to get fashion related experience in San Diego, so I decided to make my own experience. As the website evolved, it became clear that my website could also be a resource for current and future UCSD students.

Sarah: That’s awesome and it’s true-most people would glamorize NYC or LA as being the fashion hosts of the US, and San Diego isn’t exactly the first city to pop into mind when you think of “fashion”. I know you’re currently an economics major but what career path in fashion were you interested in pursuing?

Sean: When I started the website, I envisioned myself working in marketing or trend spotting for menswear. Now, I am more interested in the business and operations side of the industry.

Sarah: “SHOWMEUCSD” is all about trend spotting and as the photographer, what kind of style are you drawn to? Is there a certain “criteria” you follow in order for someone to stand out as a pick for your page?

Sean: It’s funny you ask that. It’s actually more of a gut feeling when I’m out shooting. If there is one “criteria” in the back of my mind, it’s that I want to get a good representation of what campus is like. I don’t want to focus on one certain style, I would rather include as many different styles as possible. I am personally drawn to layering and subtle flashes of unique patterns and colors, but I try not to let my bias influence the website.

Sarah: Speaking of bias-What would you define as your own personal style?

Sean: I am definitely a minimalist. I have a few high quality pieces that lean towards function rather than form.

Sarah: I heard you studied abroad in Milan, which happened to be a key to your inspiration in trend spotting. From your time in Italy’s fashion capitol, how do you think US street style compares to street style in Milan?

Sean: The people and their styles vary widely in Milan, just as they do in the US. The difference is that a larger percentage Milanese take time and think about the way they present themselves to the world compared to Americans. I would describe the style in Milan as slightly more refined and calculated. Most of the Milanese take the way that they present themselves to the world very seriously. I would say on average, that you see more of the population expressing a style that is calculated and thoughtful in Milan than you do in the US. It’s really more a part of the culture there than it is here. To me it looked like most of the Milanese woke up with an idea of how they wanted to look that day and made the effort to make that vision a reality. It was rare to see someone, besides myself, who looked like they just “threw on whatever” which is what I see most Americans do everyday. So when I say fashion in Milan is calculated, I mean that thought and effort go into making one’s style.

Sarah: What’s your Trend Report, as in the top accessories, designs, style, and clothes for the upcoming winter season for men?

Sean: I’ve never been good at predicting the future, but I would love to see an explosion of “ugly” Christmas sweaters!

Sarah: Where do you see the future of fashion blogging?

Sean: Fashion blogging will continue to grow as long as bloggers continue to monetize their sites by leveraging viewership to market for established brands. If there is money to be made, people will follow.

This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, it’s just the nature of the industry.

The nice thing about it is that anyone can log-on and create a website, virtually free of cost. This means that content will never be limited to the opinion of a few at the “top”. I think blogging will continue to provide a wonderful open resource of inspiration for people.

Sean will be graduating this Winter, and so, to continue the legacy of trend spotting at UCSD-Trend Magazine has agreed to carrying on with his blog. Be on the look out for our renovation of SHOWMEUCSD.COM as we pull it back up from it’s long hiatus!
