“Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street; fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.” — Coco Chanel

As cliché as this quote sounds, it puts into words the power of fashion. Fashion isn’t just about looking fabulous; it’s about feeling fabulous and being unique.

Getting dressed in the morning might not be the highlight of your day, but you’d be pressed to find a girl who doesn’t stand straighter in her best dress or man who doesn’t confidently enter a room in his favorite suit.

Fashion boosts confidence. It inspires, creates and shapes our culture.

While fashion may not be “hard-hitting journalism,” it’s just as relevant to readers as  front-page news.

This is true at IU, where fashion thrives around every corner. Hoosiers have fun with fashion and make it their own, with an endless array of styles serving as personal inspiration every day.

While I credit my fellow fashion-philes for influencing my sartorial choices, I also look to blogs for street-style inspiration.

To keep track of these trends, I maintain my own fashion blog, Twin Studies, with my twin sister. From personal photos to shopping and beauty guides, Twin Studies is your source for the latest in college-ready fashion.
