CAMPU
with Lauren Smith
t^out
ure
M adonna may not be
able to act on
screen, but the
material girl does have some
wise words to share: “Express
yourself.” And many people do
this through the clothes they
wear. You do not know every
one you meet, so you use what
you see to understand a new
person. Clothes are your first
option. The world finds inspira
tion for what we put on every
where from the media to our
parents. The girls who were in
the II- to 13-year-old age
group when Britney Spears first
came out were quick to bare
their bellies in a sad attempt to
imitate the pop princess. As
trends come and go, the clothes
we choose always tell some
thing about who we are.
There are reasons why
clothing is a billion dollar
industry; everyone always
needs something new. We have
all had to say goodbye to some
of our most prized possessions,
whether it was our Keds shoes
or Girbaud jeans. Growing up
calls for these tearful gcxxlbyes
with our favorite clothes. In col
lege. you must trade some of
your favorite jeans for smarter,
more professional business-like
pants. As graduation approach
es, I am not sure what will be
more difficult, parting ways
with my roommates or buying a
sensible business suit.
For women, our memories
are often tied to our favorite
clothes. That nerdy “Senior
Girls” high school T-shirt and
brown, Brighton belt reminds
us of the day we moved on to
college. Men have it easier
than women, as men’s fashion
does not change as drastically
as women’s does.
There are people out there
who stick to what works and
refuse to go anywhere else but
the trusty Gap. It is hard not to
admire those who can some
how make an old, tapered pair
of jeans look good or that per
son in your class who can pull
polka dots and Hawaiian print
together. Most people at A&M
are happy with themselves and
will wear what feels comfort
able, no matter what anyone
says. Like my best friend, who
no matter how many times 1
tell. ‘Boys don’t make passes at
girls who wear glasses,’ contin
ues to protest against contacts.
Behind the outfits of every
person is an individual waiting
to teach you something about
not only themselves, hut you as
well. Before making a snap
judgment about the eccentric
person sitting next to you in
history, say hi and discover
why they are the way they are.

Vande Zande said his idea of
fashion is primarily one of “no
fashion.”
“Almost everything I own is
indicative of me, whether it’s
show ing what band I like, some
thing I believe in or something 1
just think is funny,” he said.
“Also I'm a pack rat so I still have
a lot of clothes from junior high
and earlier that 1 still wear when I
can get away with it.”

sion to complain about his fashion sense is his
wife.
Many expressions in the form of fashion
come out of opposition to mainstream culture,
such as the hippies of the 1960s and 1970s.
“Hippies wore old jeans that were falling
apart for a reason, because they were showing
they were not materialistic. The patch became
honorable in their culture,” Murguia said. “The
longer hair of the hippies was a symbol ofte]
ing rules, while short hair was a signofbeins
controlled and obeying order.”
When asked about her creative fashionseasti
Daarina Farooq. a freshman general studies
major, said it shows thalsbeis
different from everyone else.
“I feel you can still look
good, have a distinct fashion
sense and uphold modestyaife
same time,” Farooq said.
“Everyone has their own si)fe
at A&M, and I think people
dress how they feel.” .
