“If it looks good to you, then work with it. I guess don’t let other people tell you how to dress.”
Corey’s eclectic fashion combines skater and rocker trends into a hybrid look. He shops for clothing in bright colors, with clever sayings or band names. Corey said his favorite pop star is Pete Wentz from Fall Out Boy because of his unique style and the trends that he inspires.

“Dress for a funeral and you will always be in style.”
Local punk and hardcore musical tastes flavor Reva’s fashion. She said she often dresses to accentuate her numerous tattoos, evidenced by the tank top, but that it gets difficult to display them with the colder weather. She said people should suffer for their fashion every now and then and that clothes should always be formfitting, whatever your form is.

Necklace: Charlotte Russe, $7
Bracelet: Vendor in Morocco, $1

“I like fashion… I think it kind of expresses who you are.”
Ethnic cultures weave a common thread through Lacie’s otherwise assorted fashion choices. She said fashions change from place to place, and that a bit of every locale’s fashion sticks to a person, showing where people have been. Also, Lacie said she prefers clothing or accessories with a story behind them.
Joel Bond, Sophomore, Exercise Science
Shirt: Eddie Bauer, $40
Necklace: Gift from girlfriend
Pants: Levi’s, $60
Shoes: Unknown, $30
“I’m really into vibrant colors that stick out — stuff that people will look at and be like, ‘What is that guy wearing? What is he thinking?’”
Joel’s fashion mixes the polish of a button-up shirt with a destructed pair of shoes, resulting in the perfect fusion of old-fashioned debonair and modern edge. He said his fashion arises from magazines like GQ and his time spent working at Urban Outfitters. However, he said the majority of his fashion choices mix the feel of his youth while cultivating a mature look.
