“I try not to look like my dad. I don’t want to look like a middle-aged guy who doesn’t care, but it’s not too much of a conscious effort.”
As a musician, Sam strives to express himself with his clothing in the same manner that he expresses himself through his music. In a world of trends, Dillon is happily trendless and pulls it off quite well.

“It gives me something to look forward to if I wear a different outfit every day.”
Tami’s fashion hinges on her prominent visual sense as a photographer. She often creates a look by starting with one interesting piece and then adding other items to fit with it. Tami said she aims for indie punk rock ‘n’ roll — with a dose of thrift attire thrown in for good measure.

“I gotta stick out. I gotta be different.”
Denzel, an incoming freshman from Dallas, sports a fashion that clamors for attention in the best way. His bright colors and intricate haircut, not uncommon in Dallas, he said, give him an urban vibe. He said he wears his Spiderman kid backpack, which he’s owned since ninth grade, just to be different.

“I don’t like to look toward (mainstream fashion). It’s not those people’s roots: It’s just fashion.”
Being a dancer specializing in traditional Mexican dance, Jenny strives to dress the part. She said she likes to honor her roots, even off the dance floor. Her look is personalized with her favorite color, black, and a favorite brand of pants, Dickies.
