Steampunk

John Galliano 2012-2013 winter collection

Bill Gaytten for John Galliano Fall-Winter 2012-2013 Ready-To-Wear at Paris Fashion Week

"Steampunk fashion has seen a rise in popularity - people are donning these styles more often than you might realize. In terms of fashion, Steampunk refers to "the art of re-imagining modern technology against the backdrop of steam powered technology, like what you'd find in Victorian times or the old Wild West." 

The annual #GCCinNYC trip will be here before you know it! On October 7 I will be flying to the city to see everything it has to offer all over again. This year, we are also so grateful to have been invited to the National Arts Council on Gramercy Park by none other than David Zyla (whom also spoke at our campus just last fall!) The topic !? STEAMPUNK of course and we cannot wait to hear more from the experts and professionals / see whats in store. xo stay tuned for more on our trip, this event and all of the other #gccstyle events happening this semester on and off campus.

Just Dandy

The Ultimate Dandies, by Karl Lagerfeld for Numero

August 1989. ‘It takes a bit of confidence to be a dandy. And a sure touch for mixing prints – the more eccentric, the better.’

Man’s Suit (habit à la française) 

c. 1770-1780s-France

Material: Set of coat, waistcoat, and breeches of pale blue striped silk taffeta with woven floral trim; sleeve ruffles in needlepoint lace. 

This suit is characterized by elegant embroidery and pale, pastel tones said to be the colors of the Rococo Period.
The luxurious outfit that men from the 18th century nobility would wear, the “habit à la française”, is composed of a coat, waistcoat, and breeches. It also included a pair of silk stockings, a jabot, a linen or cotton shirt with decorative cuffs, and a cravat (a neckcloth). Men’s suits transformed to a more functional style in the last half of the eighteenth century. Overall the coat became tight-fitting, the length of the waistcoat became short, the waistcoat’s sleeves were removed, and the hem was cut horizontally.

Fit For The Farm

Here are some more of the amazing photos from my latest article with CollegeFashionista! This was such a fun post for me - everything from the pictures and furry friends to writing about the super cute fall look she had on.

Although our campus is located across the street from the home of these cute dairy cows - Fashion is still 100% a part of our everyday life. Proof that regardless of where college has taken you this semester (physically or figuratively), your personal style can still shine through. Let the clothes you choose make you feel happy and confident, no matter where you are in the world!
