IU students deal with 'real world' of fashion

By Mallory Zalkin · Tuesday, Dec. 2,2003 11:53 p.m.

The fashion industry in the United States has become a phenomenon, attracting consumers as well as potential employees. Intense competition, rapid turnover rate, high demand and the need for new talent often cause a career in the world of fashion to be less promising than one might believe it to be. But where exactly do these students end up and where do they even begin? Although Indiana is not considered the nation's fashion metropolis, IU supplies students with many of the tools and experiences an aspiring fashion merchandising student can anticipate in his or her career paths.

'Falstaff' executed hilariously

By Eric Anderson · Monday, Nov. 24,2003 12:09 a.m.

Excepting the premiere of a new work, it is the accepted task of the critic to express his or her view on the performance of a work and not the work itself.

Films, TV shows and sometimes books influence fashion. Characters in movies or on TV shows often inspire us to dress a certain way. Sometimes the character may be a role model, like Mary Tyler Moore, or influence a certain way of dress, like Don Johnson in "Miami Vice." The way characters dress can tell you a lot about them before they even say their lines.
