LM Ellzey SC ‘13 and I both hold the belief that fashion provides a good medium for projecting oneself, despite unsupported claims of its shallowness. “In the same way I would use a symbol in writing, I try to use outfits or articles of clothing as symbols,” said LM. She

5C Threads featuring Leena Kozupa
The newest news is that the ‘90s are the new ‘80s. This makes sense, because the ‘80s actually made a comeback more than ten years ago. Instead of beautified workout attire, the ‘90s offer geometric patterns along with bold prints, cropped shirts, and other strange, ridiculous, yet formalized styles. In
5C Threads featuring Emily Miner
The sleek, minimalistic, almost foreign way Emily Miner presents herself creates an effect that goes a bit beyond how she simply “looks.” While everyone who has been featured in our past columns has evoked some certain “mood” , Emily makes hers the focal point of her style. Emily’s style is
5C Threads: Reflections on Trends (Fall and Otherwise), On and Off Campus
As Claremont arbitrarily decides that fall must arrive at some point or another, its accompanying fashion trends have begun to emerge on campus, a few of which have been noted or exemplified by the astute guys and gals we’ve featured right here in our column. I’m going to try to
5C Threads featuring Sarah Sedky
Sarah Sedky makes a point to dress presentably and to find clothes that flatter her.

A Treasure for Music Lovers
Too lazy to wake up early for bands we had never heard before, my friends and I left for the Treasure Island Music Festival, located within the bay between San Francisco and Berkeley, in time to catch the latter two-thirds of the acts. We scuffled to the BART station and
5C Threads Featuring Bethany Okada
The long, flowing dresses that provide the foundation for Bethany Okada’s HM ‘13 style feel oddly at home at Harvey Mudd College, where nerdiness supposedly runs rampant. It’s not often you run into a chemistry major who likens her style to that of “Gossip Girl” queen bee Blair Waldorf, but
5C Threads featuring Emily Radler
Emily Radler PO ‘12 has a strikingly androgynous look, and it comes from a genuine place. “It’s important to me that how I look reflects how I feel,” she said. “It’s especially a gender thing; I have a masculine style because I feel that way.” Radler’s style is also motivated
