Focus on Fashion From the very moment that Adam and Eve first discovered the multitude of uses for fig leaves, man has not lost his preoccupation with clothing and fashion. Mil- lions of dollars are invested annually in the fashion industry. It often seems that the twentieth century does, indeed, operate under the supposition that the clothes make the man . Such is definitely the the case for Westminster students. Clothing styles on campus have become a channel through which many choose to express their individuality and, often, their creativity. Many of the more conservative members of the student body favor the prep look. Their tastes run to rugby shirts, chinos, and penny loafers. These Preppies prefer clothes decorated with whales, alligators, and argyles. And the onset of the winter months is always the test of the true prep. He is the one who will venture into the sub zero ice storms wearing Docksiders without socks!! However, other members of the college community expressed their individual- ity through other fashions. The release of the phenomenally popular Flashdance engendered a fashion craze of off-the-shoulder sweatshirts and leg warmers. Trade winds from New York and California blew in carrying leather pants and mini skirts. Even the Westminster men were not immune to the dictators of the fashion world. Pea Coats and knee length wool coats became popular for winter wear. Many discovered the treasures gleamed from a shopping trip to the Army-Navy store. And, quite a few Westminster men chose to express their individuality through gold earings. The styles came and the styles went. Some, like the preppie look, enduring tenaciously; others vanishing too quickly for notice. Whether the tastes be prep or punk . . . Flashdance or funk . . . Army-Navy or sweats . . . Westminster has seen them all. Bryony Starr Top: Trend setter, Greg Steliotes displays his fashionable leather jacket. Left: The shorter boot drew much attention around campus.
