The Minnesotan The Avant Garde As we oil know, Minnesota hos long hod o reputation for being o hoy seed srote. This stigma survives today for two basic reasons: Minnesota is 99 percent farmland and mony teenogers continue to dress in primitive wheat field gorb. Note Everson just loves the comfortable fir of his faded Levi's, 5-yeor-oJd flonnel shirr, and scuffed cowboy boots. In fact, oil of Note's dorhing hos been in circulation for quite some rime now. A true Minnesotan to the end. Note sports thick thermal underwear under EVERYTHING (even under another layer of thermal underwear). Raised hemlines often couse raised eyebrows. This was obvious or RHS os only o few brove souls dored to put on those mid-thigh skirts. Aside from this, in 1981 the miniskirt become the sign of the Truly Fashionable Being. Favorite bizarre clothing also included white stockings, leopard skin prints, and pedolpushers — oil ovoiloble or ovonr garde hangouts such os Rogsrock ond Morch 4rh.

The Prep The Slob For years magazines such os Seventeen and GQ have dictated the importance of dressing to mean business. You've been told that if you ore nor occepred to Harvard, you con or least dress as if you hod been (especially if you want to get anywhere in life). Brion Sween has follen victim to this syndrome. His wardrobe is filled with Izod sweaters, orgyle socks and Pendleton wools. A prep is easily identified by his dean-shaven Conservative look, essential penny loafers, and sterling silver cor keys. Some people just don't seem to have rhor certain fashion pizazz”. For instonce, Rena Mann has been window-shopping at all the finer stores in Minneapolis for years, yet she is unable to achieve that chic, pur-rogerher look no matter how hard she tries. She has, however, perfected the art of looking retaxed''. Her dorhing has that slightly crumpled, lived-in look. All Rena needs to get in step with fashion is a crash course in color coordination, a lifetime subscription to Vogue, and Spray-n-Wash (to get out the perpetual mustard stains). 14 FojNOrt
