I just read an article that makes me feel as if fashion perceptions have moved from creativity to popular sellout subcultures. Your writer for Campus Couture has missed the simplistic meaning of fashion: clothes. I love the way she notes “Texas A&M may not be the most diverse school.”
Is that fashion she is talking about or culture?
I am Hispanic, and I think my Levi’s are OK. Where does she hang out? There are a lot of international students who express true personality fashionably and intellectually. Not all fashion motives are linked with the bar scene or roommates. Where are the pictures of people being real? Not in your article. It’s possible that the constant comparison of A&M to Austin is rooted in dissatisfaction. Look at your peers and write about what is real and not what sells. Report on fashion and not the mass-produced stigma which you are feeding.
Not all forms of fashion ‘linked to the bar scene’
