What’s your opinion on the fashion/style on campus?

Lihnida: Everyone wears what they feel comfortable wearing. Some people go full out and that’s just what they want to wear – no one judges anyone really on clothes which is cool. You could rock up in pyjamas and no one would say anything.

David, 21

What do you study?

Bachelor of Media Arts

What are you wearing?

I’ve got my trusty Docs with some custom drawings, ruggers from Lowes, and an el cheapo singlet top from Target

What’s your opinion on the fashion/style on campus?

I think it’s an important part of being here. There are a lot of people that put a lot of effort into looking nice and trying new styles. I guess it goes hand in hand with people’s expression as well and we’re all art students so it makes sense to live and breath creative expression, which extends to what we wear as well.

Do you have a style icon or someone’s style you really appreciate?

Probably James Dean and Wednesday Campenella

Are you looking forward to anything in particular coming up in the rest of the year?

I’m planning to go on exchange to Japan next year and take some personal leave as well and spend the year over there.

Who are you playing on repeat?

Wednesday Campenella is amazing

What’s your opinion on the fashion/style on campus?

I think people just do the best version of themselves. They don’t necessarily follow trends; they do what feels best to them.

What’s one thing you’d never wear?

I’m pretty open to everything – I’ve never seen anything that I’m really repulsed by.

Who’s your style icon or someone’s style you really appreciate?

I really like vintage wear and street wear style so I like the stuff by Supply, Uniqlo and Lazy Oaf

Are you looking forward to anything in particular coming up in the rest of the year?

Overalls from Tree of Life on top of a Campus Bible Study shirt, laser cut boots, and a jumper that my auntie gave me
