favorite brand & why? Front an art standpoint probably Issey Miyake, Alenxander McQueen, and Maison Margiela because of the creativity & beauty. I also love Miuccia Prada. But, for modern and less high-fashion standpoints I appreciate brands that try something new and create beautiful pieces while also trying to source sustainable materials (independent/small businesses and designers).

favorite thrift find? My chocolate brown penny lane coat because I can throw it on and make any outfit more put together. My favorite thrift finds collectively are probably basics that I can style in a lot of different ways.

if you could bring back a fashion trend, which would you bring back and why? This is tough because trends are circulating so differently now and you can find anything anywhere you look for it, but honestly I love capris and wish I saw more people wearing/styling them!

Clubbing Identities

If there is one thing I learned studying in Berlin, it is that clubbing is more than just a fun thing to do on the weekends, it is a lifestyle; one that is about more than just drugs and alcohol, but finding connection. Whether it be to music, people, or even the self, clubbing is simultaneously an escape and a return. When you dance with no inhibitions, life has meaning.

Fun, colorful, and exciting, bouldering has been entered as an option into the collective of potential first dates, hangouts, and trendy workouts with the promise of an upper body workout (especially since Carrie Bradshaw-esque “pilates arms” have increasingly become the pinnacle of pursuit in the realm of fitness trends).

Freshman Year & Four Closets
Freshman Year & Four Closets

I feel like I’ve changed so much since coming to college. The way I carry myself, the way I feel about certain things, the way I talk. But also, the way I dress. And I can attribute a lot of these changes to my four new closets. 

No Form Without Function: A Fashionable Junction
No Form Without Function: A Fashionable Junction

Accessories and their labeling as such may ebb and flow through and between a spectrum of pure utility and bodily decor. Accessories may be a perfect semblance of both, or stray far to one side or the other, but at least ONE of these distinctions must be present. Above all, they must be, in technicality, unnecessary for basic clothing and even stylistic needs.
