Fashion: Dressing up on campus2/21/11 3:29pmEmily EllisEmily Ellis took a look at what students on campus had to say about their sense of style. How would students describe each other's sense of style? "Audrey Hepburn meets Zoey Deschanel," said Stephen, describing his friend Kate. "Archaeologists' style, very Indiana Jones...let's go with the movie theme," Kate responded. What is the incentive or motivation to dress well and be stylish? "My school. The school I go to in DC, Howard, it's really focused on that, actually, the way people dress. Far more than I would like them to be focused on it, but that's what sort of pushed me into it. Plus I just looking nice and I like layering," said Genesis. "I just like expressing myself through what I wear," said Kate. "I feel like I do better when I look nice and I feel better when I look nice," Nick added. "I come from a lumberjack background and feel that it's important to represent that in the way I dress," said Stephen, smiling. What is the favorite piece of their wardrobe? "I love ties. This is actually his, it's a wool tie. I have so many ties," said Genesis. "Green. Green, like my green sweater," commented Nick. How long did it take to get dressed this morning? "An hour and a half, because I put on clothes and I was like, 'I don't want this shirt, I'll put on this shirt,' and then he suggested the sweater vest, and it definitely took a good hour and a half," Genesis admitted. "Probably about five to ten minutes," Kate said. "Not very long, five minutes," Stephen said. |
