Garnet & Black Magazine is the student-run magazine on campus. It was started by Jason Wagenheim, you know, the current VP and publisher of Teen Vogue, when he was a Gamecock. #casual. This year I have been fortunate enough to be given the opportunity to tackle the role of Style Editor.
My vision for the Fall issue started when I was living in New York this summer. My roommate –who is also my style assistant and last-minute model– and I were sitting in our apartment brainstorming what we could create. It his us almost instantly: CLUELESS! One of our favorite movies and time frames. There was no other option, really. Except a recreation of Grease, but no one will ever be a better Danny Zuko than John Travolta, so it's almost setting myself up for disappointment. But I digress.
We got back to school and started pulling looks from local retailers and went on a search for models and locations. With a little luck, determination and pixie dust–er, you get the point– we struck '90s gold.
I wanted a way to showcase my work and let the public see it. I could have created an online portfolio, but why bother when I already have this great outlet? Without further ado, here is my first spread styling with G&B!
