The impact of the fashion industry is something we don’t think about very often. We ooh and ahh at clearance prices, gasp at the cuteness, make sure we always have what’s in style and activity-appropriate. Fast Fashion, a term that has gained popularity recently to describe cheaply made garments that are usually imported, has made it possible for people to always have something new, cute, appropriate and in style.

How Do You Like Your Jeans? Blue or Green?
"Recycling" and "reusing" are two different things, especially in the clothing world. When speaking in textile terms, "recycling" does not mean dropping off at your local charity store to be given to the needy or sold to a reseller who is creating their own online, work-at-home business to feed their family. Think in terms of "recycling" like melting old soda cans into aluminum, or crushing glass to make new bottles. Depending on how old you are, think newspaper drives at school.

Being a Fashionista on a College Student Budget
I am well-known among my friends for what has been deemed my "endless wardrobe." This is not only because shopping for deals is my idea of an Olympic sport, but also because the way I dress and how I look for the day is an expression of how I feel and what I am projecting onto the world around me. I am a firm believer that an outfit can completely transform a person: physically, mentally, and spiritually. More importantly, changes in wardrobe are essential in helping me feel renewed, especially after a breakup or another major life event.

A Letter From the Editor’s Closet
I believe a wardrobe is a work of art—a personal reflection of the person wearing it. It tells a story unique to you. I treat my wardrobe like my canvas. Every time I add a new piece, or take a piece away, it is all based on my mood—what I am enjoying, aesthetically. My inspiration tends to come from art. Pieces from the 70s, such as Henri Matisse’s, all the way up to current pieces, such as ones from Italian artist, Piero Pizzi Cannella. When I say these artists inspire me, I am referencing their color palettes. Most of my wardrobe is neutral in color—deep browns, ivories and black. While that does not really set me apart from what is “trending” now, what sets me apart is the feeling I get when I am wearing my pieces.
