 EDINA STYLE” 'i We were flashy, funky, and ■ . dina is consistently known for hav-■ ing a style of its own, one that sets • apart from the others. And with the 3w school year came a new set of ends, full of bright colors and bold rints. The hallways and the Commons ere decorated with the new look of aisleys, plaids, stripes, tapestry and •wels blended together in ways never ied before, as well as the good old aditions of denim, shetlands, t-shirts, nd oxfords. We put our best foot forward wear-g flats, moccasins, high-tops, and oots in a rainbow of colors. We cov-'ed our behinds with jeans and trouts, stirrup pants and mini-skirts made y Guess, Compliments, Levi's, Esprit. Drenza, and Genera. To top that off e wore oversized shirts, both plain nd patterned. Benetton. Forenza. nd Esprit sweaters. Polo shirts, and •an jackets. Pulled together with jew-led broaches, rhinestones, head-ands, and Swatch watches — we reated our own look. What did the students think of these new trends??? When polled. 70 percent of the boys at EHS felt that girls took fashions too far. In contrast with that, 83 percent of the girls thought that boys' fashions remained the same from season to season, and didn't feel that they made an effort to vary their styles. When asked, most girls said that they would like to see boys turn their fashions in a trendier direction, and most boys showed a dislike for the new trends in women's fashions. Sophomores won overwhelmingly in the most outrageously dressed cata-gory (with the added comment. They all dress like Madonna!! ) with the junior class running a distant second — but isn't that the way it's supposed to turn out?!? Coca-Cola. America's favorite soft drink, arrived on the fashion scene with Coke-clothes for guys and girls. The rugbies, flannel shirts, sweats, and jeans carrying the soda-pop label matched the new varieties of cola ar- flamboyant. riving on the market — New Coke. Classic Coke, and Cherry Coke — that we often unsuccessfully attempted to stroll out of the cafeteria with, only to be sent back by a teacher. Edina High School was bubbling over with fashion which leaves us with this question — how did we afford to wear all those $55 jeans and $65 sweaters from Southdale. the Galleria, City Center, and Calhoun Square? Did our parents decide to give up on sending us to college in order to fulfill our fettish for stylish attire?!? Many students worked to help finance their fashion budget, but felt that it was well worth it. After all. the way we clothe ourselves makes a statement about each individual as well as Edina as a whole and this year was full of unique, new (sometimes strange — thanks to the help of a few outgoing fashion statements). With Edina Style out in full force, we showed everyone just who we are. At the new Polo Shop in the Galena.
