Colon, fc Fashion. What is it, where did it come from, and where is it go- ing? Wando students have been trying to answer these questions for about fifteen years. During those years, styles changed a lot! Bell-bottoms, wide ties, and poly- ester (all somehow popular in the seventies) gave way to straight pants, longer skirts, thin ties, and an emphasis on cotton. Clothes for 1988 were looser fitting and more comfortable than fashions of the past. Also marking the fashion scene in the eighties was a wider vari- ety of available styles. Everyone had his own style. Some of us kept things simple, wearing tradi- tional blue jeans with accessories ranging from tee-shirts to Benet- ton sweatshirts. Others went in for more lively clothes with giant earrings (for girls only ... guys and earrings was a fad quickly losing steam) and the wildest colors. As far as watchwear went, the switch was on. The switch from Swatch, that is, to more tradi- tional watch faces, sporting tex- tured leather bands. On our feet were Reeboks, Nikes, Converse, Sebagos, and docksiders. It seemed as though almost every derriere sprang forth wearing some designer’s name: Levi’s, Duck Head, Calvin Klein, Gloria Vanderbilt, IOU, Guess, and Lee. And then there was hair. What would fashion be without it? Some didn't comb theirs at all, while others combed ... and brushed ... and combed some more. We saw it all: bold cuts and bowl cuts, uncut, shortcut, long cut, surfer cut, skater cut, no- need-to cut (that is, some shaved all of theirs off)! Yes, we saw it ALL! Shawn Slater She's got style! Pilar Ritchie, wearing an oversized jeans jacket with contrasting solid- color turtleneck, shops at Citadel Mall for even more clothes. Jana Mong s unique hairstyle dangles over her face, but she's too busy concentrating on homework to mind. Fashions

Kim Jenkins. Virginia Pinckney, and Keisha Richardson seem to like blousy tops. Coca- cola sweatshirts were particularly popular It's Mall-velous Darling ... You look mall-ve- lous. This line became synonymous with comedian Billy Crystal’s char- acter of Fernando on Saturday Night Live. But it could also be used to describe the look of many Wando students. This mall-velous” look was partially influenced by the myri- ad of shopping opportunities in the area. There were three malls, a huge number of shopping centers, numer- ous specialty shops, and the old standards. With all of this variety, Wandoers never went anywhere without being able to show their style.
