Summer is already heating up right here in Austin — and that indicates the age-old dilemma of balancing summer style with “class appropriate” attire. I struggle everyday to make a decision which outfit will greatest accomodate my schedule of a chilly morning, a cold classroom, a meeting with a professor, a study group for an upcoming test and an afternoon picnic in the hot Texas sun.
When I saw Augusta walking to class this morning, I knew she had perfected the classy-cool combo so numerous of us struggle to attain in this limbo amongst the upcoming swimsuit season and the school semester nearing its end. I knew I had to feature her for Looks on Campus!

Though Kanye West has been holed up in London working on his fall collection—and his new album—the rapper only made it to one London Fashion Week show on the last day: Mark Fast‘s. A far cry from the days he was spotted in nearly every front row from Christopher Kane to Vivienne Westwood, rumor has it the lone appearance is due to Fast’s new gig behind the scenes at West’s label. West’s debut collection, shown during Paris Fashion Week this past October, was designed with help from Louise Goldin, the Central St. Martin’s grad known for tight, bright knits and using surprising fabrics like lurex and metallics in otherwise traditional knitting patterns.
Fast, another St. Martin’s alum, first caused a splash three years ago when he sent plus size models down his runway wearing body-hugging knit dresses. Now they’re worn by it-girls from Julia Roitfeld to Rihanna, making him a solid choice for West’s design team. Sounds like we’ll have to wait until the designer shows his second collection in Paris (9:30 PM on March 6th) to find out if Fast really is involved—and what he can do for the brand.
Here’s What the Few Occupiers Who Actually Showed up at Calvin Klein Had to Say About the Fashion Industry
Even though Occupy Wall Street fell brief of its initial objectives for a rally held outside yesterday’s Calvin Klein show, they did offer a a lot more academic soundtrack to show-goers waiting for seating assignments in the dreary rain. If you ask us, it was sort of a nice change of scenery from the 300+ shows just before it—fashion week would finish as it often does with Calvin Klein, so why not go out with a bang?
The affiliation’s original plan was to march in droves from the internet site of their former encampment at Zucotti Park, all the way uptown to the web site of Calvin Klein’s two runway shows held in the Garment District. They vowed to paint the eyes of 99 fashion sector insiders in red—in honor of the UC Davis students who were doused with pepper spray late last year, and if that fell brief they would operate to shut down the label’s 3pm showing.
Turning the corner onto the show’s 39th street location, we were expecting to be hit with a drum circle of Occupiers screaming out political verbiage to an uninterested crowd, but had been instead greeting by precisely two slight protesters who stood on the opposing corner: A conservative Virginia native, and a 37-year-old from the Bronx with glittered dreadlocks and a fox-trimmed overcoat named Felix Rivera-Pitre. Rivera-Pitre contended that, “Calvin Klein has no background in social justice, [his AIDS charity perform] is a lot more like a mirage, a way for him to get away from paying taxes, and [his recent donation to FIT] does not have any meaningful impact. It is funding an market that makes the difference among the haves and haves not much more clear.” The Virginian, who wished to go unnamed, added, “The fashion globe encourages individuals to invest funds on items they don’t require rather of feeding hungry people. That doesn’t save the world.”
