Her look includes an Escoda white blouse she got from a consignment store from her home in the Bay Area, and light wash Levi jeans that she cut the bottoms off of from another favorite thrift store on 9th Street. “I have to hem all my pants—well I just cut them off because I’m pretty short,” Vigo said. “We also hate rolling pants so we cut everything off,” Mcfarlin added. Vigo completed her look with a pair of Adidas sneakers.
Morgan Fay, a sophomore at The New School for Drama. He is wearing a safari animal printed button up shirt he stole from his roommate, PF Flyers sneakers, and a green beanie that was made by his high school friend two years ago. “The rose socks are from the bodega across my street,” Fay said.

Freedman is wearing a red blouse she recently bought from Topshop, American Eagle shorts and black shoes.

It includes Gucci sneakers, ripped Hollister jeans, limited edition Quay Australia x Desi Perkins “High Key” Sunglasses, and a brand new FENTY sweater and hat. “I got them at the FENTY pop-up bus at Bryant Park,” Flores said. “My class was cancelled that day so I thought, ‘Oh perfect.’ So I snatched up a few pieces from Rihanna.”
Bebe Shi is a fashion design student at Parsons. Shi is wearing a Sandro dress with a Coach baseball jacket and Arche shoes. “I’m only wearing this jacket because it’s been hot, but in our school it’s like, really cold,” Shi said.
