Dancers Perform Student-and Faculty-Choregraphed Narratives

Wardrobe Wisdom for the No-Chella Soul
It’s that time of year again: the time for fashion magazines and blogs to discuss the topic of Festival Wear.

Scrap The Pants? Consider Making Room For Leggings
As Tim Gunn once tweeted, “No, leggings are not pants, for men or women!” The Project Runway style guru has long held a grudge against the leggings-as-pants phenomenon. But despite his admonitions, the trend does not appear to be going anywhere. At the Claremont Colleges, it has reached monumental proportions.
PCMA and Williamson Galleries Acquire Warhol Works
Andy Warhol once said, “In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes.” Now, after his death, the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts is trying their hardest to stretch Warhol’s allotted 15 minutes of fame into decades. Through the foundation’s Andy Warhol Photographic Legacy Program, both Scripps
