Since I’ve lived a couple decades longer than the majority of my fellow students, I noticed a few trends that have made their way back into our shared reality, some of which I appreciate more than others.
Every morning, we wake up to our alarms and choose an outfit to conquer the day in. Maybe it’s skinny jeans and a t-shirt, a long dress with chunky heels or overalls paired with (to Tan France’s deep chagrin) crocs and socks. We might wear a certain sweater when giving a presentation, or a cozy scarf on a gray, chilly day. These fashion choices paint a picture of who we are and how we are living our lives. Clothes are more than just fashion trends — they are storytellers.
The Theater Department recently hosted the 60th anniversary of its student-led event, “Do Clothes Matter?” The symposium was held April 6 in the Campus Center, where a group of students studying Costume Design presented the culmination of a semester of research, alongside keynote speakers such as Vanessa Friedman, Sonnet Stanfill and Jan Glier Reeder.
With the new school year in full swing, first-year students are acclimating to the environment here at Smith and developing their sense of style as they experience college life.
Smith is a hub for individuality, and style is just one of the ways in which Smithies display it. I first noticed Sofia Canale-Parola’s ’21 clothing on Instagram before we met on campus. When we spoke, she defined style for an individual as, “When their clothing accurately and comfortably reflects their personality.”
