This is the beginning of Ihc ending of ihc ‘80s—every man for himself. Magazines, store man- nequins and television fashion were once the total image of style. However, people today are be- coming more conscience of their attire and the way they look, especially since fashion desig- ners arc beginning to be creative and personal, yet realistic and down-to-earth. With such an abundance of originality, there's no limit to one's daily dressing creativity. -Cinnamon Sheffield Ever since the early ‘Bits, teenagers have been obsessed with one thing: fashion, but this fact brings me to another ques- tion: Why? I mean, what's the use in spending what sometimes turns out to bean outrageous sum of money on something that's here today and gone tomorrow? It's not like I’m trying to separate myself from everybody else, but I don't see Ihc sense in paying $90 for a pair of tennis shoes that say h'll.A or $00 for pants with a simple question mark on the back of them. One reason for this fashion obsession is the ever popular peer pressure. If you wear what you want to wear, instead of the fad for this week, you'll be more comforta- ble. your pocketbook will be heavier, and most importantly, you'll always be in style: your style. -Philip Polk Let’s talk lunlor Anh I. and «color Tuan Whinner socialite while «landing In the lunch linrduring C lunch l.c wear» Ihc classic slim skirt with a silk »hiri and long cardigan.

spark of silver, a glint of gold drew peoples’ eyes as they strolled through the student center. A freshman stood on one side decked out in an oversized sweater and baggy pants with shirt tail hanging in view. A junior was adorned in a bright colored unlined sports jacket with sleeves pushed up. The ultimate of cool—a senior—lounged about in a Coca-Cola rugby shirt and Dolby sunglasses. Style—though defini- tions of style varied im- mensely, students agreed that it allowed for practically anything—from the jeans with torn-out knees to penny loafers, slacks and ties. “Style is a set of mind. You have to want to look good to look good,” junior Erika Aycock said. “Fashions for this par- ticular year, I think are basi- cally laid back. It’s comforta- ble and carefree, where you can wear anything—even to the point of being totally tacky and still be fashiona- ble,” junior Matiko Bivens said. Whether what’s in was pink hi-top Converses or suspenders, there were items, which regardless of the time, remained basic in every wardrobe. “Blue jeans and t-shirts are pretty stylish year round,” senior Elise Frazier said. “It really doesn’t matter at all.” Other items included tennis shoes, cowboy boots, sweatshirts, button downs and cardigan sweaters. Regardless of the do’s and don’ts of dressing, style was something most people determined for themselves in trends and fads ranging from totally punk to ultra- conservative. As freshman Dawn Merkel summed it up, “People should be them- selves. The person in each of us is what makes everyone uniquely different. No one should deter- mine the type of person he should be by adhering to standards of dress set by others.” she said. •Tanisa Jeffers Visions of style Sophomore Leslie Show and Misty Green dis- cuss their plans for Fair Day with sophomore Son)a Cawthorne.
