From jeans, especially faded ones, to overalls, to skirts, the student body looked like an ad in Vouge. Large shirts and sweatshirts were very fashionable too, if they were faded blue, white, or silver, and graced with the trademark triangle. Fashion wasn’t just a brand-name, though. “Fash- ion is being able to walk down the hall and not be ashamed of how you look,” theorized senior, Jeff Hare. He and additional students wrapped them- selves in the original jean, Levis 501’s, pegged pants and stretch pants. Bold so- lids were also seen in Lon- don sweaters, and guys dis- played bright Rugby shirts, sporting the British look. However, the ultimate for all was an oversized Vuarnet t- shirt with the sleeves rolled. Many students expressed themselves in the extras that completed their own look. Arms and ear lobes every- where were weighed down with silver cast in bangles, bolo ties, and large hoop earrings. A new craze was instituted as Swatches and Rolexes left the traditional wrists and turned up on an- kles, while Vuarnets and Ray Bans hid tired eyes from the sun. Whatever the current fad, Mustangs un- wrapped their individuality through fashion. Design by Gretchen Askew and Tina Kwasnica. Photos by Laura Davis.
