fash·ion

/ˈfaSHən/ noun

a popular trend, especially in styles of dress and ornament or manners of behavior.

Fashion senses vary from person to person. You can like a certain color, a certain fabric or a certain style. Fashion is a field full of fluidity, because you can dress however you want, and no one will judge you. Do you want to dress in all green? Sure. Do you like a certain brand? Go for it. Fashion is an open ended, and there are multiple styles that can be seen, especially in the iSchool. We are very diverse schools when it comes to senses of fashion.

Let’s take a look at the students filling the hallways with their brilliant senses of fashion:

Gemma Klinkowstein is always wearing vibrant colors. Her favorite color is pink. She adds pink to her makeup, and she tries to go for a clown-inspired look by adding glitter and shimmer.

Sicile Gjergji does not believe that women should be limited to wearing what is considered “feminine”, but whatever they please to wear. She loves the cosmetic line called Milk Makeup, because they are cruelty free and vegan, and since she is vegan herself, she believes any makeup associated with animals should be left off her face as well. She loves wearing metallic eyeliner because it makes her eyes pop.

The NYC iSchool has a wide range of fashion, and our students’ fashion choices are so beautiful and diverse that it can’t be wrapped up in one word. Even in this picture, the four people (from left to right: Jay, Emma, Georgia, Tokiyo) are dressed differently. Expressing one’s self is one of the most enjoyable elements of this school, since we are a judgement-free community. If you love fashion, the iSchool is full of fashion inspirations!!
