Fashion Q&A

Rebecca Papp

Freshman

International business

"I usually wear whatever I feel like wearing - jeans, skirts."

Papp likes to keep her style casual. She moved to New Mexico from Virginia last semester. She said she usually shops at American Eagle Outfitters and Forever 21. She likes Buffalo Exchange because it's close to campus and cheap.

Randa Elbih

Ph.D. Candidate

"I'm always looking for long and loose skirts."

Elbih likes to wear different colors. Elbih, who is from Egypt, said she chooses her shoes according to her mood and what she's going to do. She likes her Nikes for walking to campus from Q Lot. She said scarves, like the one she has, are sold to tourists in Egypt. She said there are lots of colors to choose from.

Yagazie Emezi

Freshman

Cultural anthropology

"I haven't been to New York, but I want to."

Emezi said she has different styles. Sometimes, she'll dress preppy, and sometimes her style will be more hippie influenced with flowing dresses. Emezi moved to New Mexico from Malaysia in 2005. She said she likes to shop at Ross because it has the same clothes as the mall but with lower prices.

Jenny O'Neill

Exchange student

Theater and Music

"Actually, it was my mum's. I pinched it."

O'Neill finds New Mexico fashion refreshing. She said the dress code is casual compared to the U.K. She said she likes it, though. She recently went out and bought T-shirts from Hollister. When she's in the U.K., she said she likes to go to Topshop. She said the store carries designs by Kate Moss and is affordable for college students.
