It’s a Matter of Taste Peddle pushers, clam diggers, bob- bie socks with flat Pappagallo shoes — Osbourn in the 50 ' s ? Nope, it ' s Osbourn in 1983. Although the times are changing con¬ stantly, the fashion world has come full circle. Everyone is having a blast with the styles of the ' 80 ' s? ' , creating a new wave to an old look. What we call “punk , our parents called “Vogue in their day. Of course, we can never forget the Definately GQ! Down to his socks, Michael John¬ son always creates an ensemble that displays his impeccable taste. With spring just around the cor¬ ner, a shorts and jacket combo is quite appropriate. Osbourn traditionals — the Preppies. Their style never changes, for their dress is always very refined. Everything matches precisely, from the checkered pants and watch band, to the printed skirt and purse cover. Each of these fashions has its own indi¬ vidual style, whether it be of elegance, refinement, or warmth and comfort. Ev¬ ery person must find a style which re¬ flects his personality, likes and dislikes, and general individuality. As long as people and times change, you can rest assured the fashion world too will change. But you can also rest assured that one thing will never change — everyone ' s favorite blue jeans! Match-maker Paige Tavlor manages to over¬ come any difficulties with color combinations, and always has perfectly co-ordinated outfits. Add-a- bead necklaces can be found everywhere, and the sizes are many. Sign of the things to come or perhaps the things that once were, Robyn Barton and Caroline Mathews update some old clam-diggers with bright accents such as bandanas, and bright, layered t-shirts. White tennis shoes complete Robyn ' s outfit, and Caroline creates a unique out¬ fit with the help of a concert t-shirt. Shoes without socks, a sure sign of a Prep. Cheenos and a polo shirt complete the outfit worn by Chris Harrover, a senior. The top designer of polo shirts this year was Ralph Lauren, but every now and then an alligator could be spotted. Completely sophisticated and completely casual. Kelly Grizzle is known throughout the school for her classy taste in dresses. Just another day for Junior Brent Kendrick. Blue jeans still remain the basis of everyone ' s wardrobe and shirts and jackets enhance the look. -- Fashion 15
