ll ook at Me! L Look at me! This is the sometimes subtle, sometimes blatant message that fashion makes. And isn’t that what fashion is all about? Hand in hand with style, fashion makes a statement, gets a point across. Whether it's “Oh no, it’s Monday! or Thank God it’s Friday!’, the way we dress communicates how we feel. I usually dress according to my mood, said Cathy Peterson. When I'm in a great mood, I dress really nice-l like to be trendy, but when I'm depressed. I slob out.” For those who are avid followers of each year's fashion horoscope, the word for this year is VARIETY. From classic plaid to high-fashion baroque, it's viewer's choice. Some like to follow one particular style, while others like to mix-and-match to create their own look. Colin Brooke, (in)famous for his preference for plaid, stated, I have my own personal taste.” Fashion designer Rene Horsch commented. I refer to Some things never change: in the Baroque period, this year's fashion statement which includes costume jewelry and flowery prints, news traveled by word-of-mouth.

I k Whether we like it or not, clothes ARE important... J my style as 'go-go'. Go-go' is fun clothing that isn't too trendy. It's more or less my own style. Lisa Quast, well-known for her wardrobe, added, I like wild stuff-like the 60 s stuff. It's a hobby to see what I can do with it. Unfortunately though, high fashion can mean high prices, and few people can actually afford the amount of clothes they'd like to buy, which makes smart buying all that more important. Peterson advised, Usually, I try to make something trendy to save money. When stirrup pants go out, I'll probably use them for pajamas. Travis MacDonald pointed out another way to get around the problem of finances, go shopping with my mom and h checkbook.” Whether we like it or not, clothes AF important-they reflect our attitude and affect the way others react towa us. Quast stated, I respect people wf dress out-of-the-ordinary; it takes mo guts. Sean Graves added, I feel tl way you dress brings out yo personality.” To be or not to be in fashion” - it a good question, for what is fashion? a year when one can choose from line jackets to faded Levis, anything goe As Errol Walker put it. “I am stric myself. I like what fits ME the most Perhaps the best way to look at it from Laura Butler's viewpoint, If yc look good, you feel good. And in tl immortal words of Fernando, You lo mah-vel-ous, dahling. You really do!” Checking out more than books in the library, Miller. C. Nunn. K. Bird. S. Becker. L. Hippie. Marth. N. Anderson, and K. Bailey show-off t latest in shaker-knit sweaters. Photo: C.
