Fashion captures individuality Ever since the beginning of man people, especially students, have been using fashion to express their individuality. Fashion makes a state- ment and the style of clothes one wears was used to express one's personalities and attitudes. A person's style was influenced by many different sources including music, sports, ethnic background, and activities. Last year some students expres- sed their individuality through their style of clothes, whether it was spiked hair and black attire to mini skirts and leather jackets each per- son staked claim to his or her own original style. Many times style was used as a tool for finding a common interest. Since style revealed a person's personality and attitude, distin- guishing different groups on cam- pus proved simple. Some of the groups were deter- mined by music such as the wild style where both boys and girls withdrew to spiked hair, black cloth- AM 1 'N 4 .-w-pr- es, and combat boots. One would assume that this type of style was influenced by New Age, and Euro- pean type of music. Another group influenced by both their love of the farm life and country western music, expressed their attitudes by wearing the ever popular Wrangler jeans and cowboy boots and hats. Taking a break from the strange many kids were seen sporting the leather bomber jacket brought in with the i'Top Gun rage, mini skirts which have been in circulation since the 6O's, and the newest type ofjean, acid wash, which were given special care to make them look as old and worn as possible. Still to this day sport lovers display their lettermen jackets in both rain and shine, sleet of snow and dark of night. With each style came a difference of opinion, and a difference of attitudes, but one thing that every- one shared in common was the use of fashion to create the indivi- dual. by Jennifer Jacobs photos by David Lyon 5. Hemlines hit the fashion line above the knee as many girls, including soph- omore Melissa King, wore mini skirts of all kinds. Fashions 63
