Campus Couture: KPU students introduce their spring style

As the cherry blossoms begin to bloom, what are students wearing to welcome spring? We asked students two questions:

  1. What is your favourite thing you’re wearing today?
  2. What do you like best about spring fashion?

  1. “My favourite thing here is this sweater, because my friend designed this himself. He has a poetry outlet that he runs, it’s called “Write Path Productions” if you see on the back. His poetry is really unique in the sense that it’s kind of guided by his sense of what’s right. It’s not controversial, but it’s not everybody’s sense of right. I like what his outlet stands for so I bought the sweater.”
  2. “Wear what you like, do what you like, it’s how we’re meant to operate in this world.”

  1. “Probably my shoes. Just classics in my mind.”
  2. “The fact that it’s between summer and winter and I can wear pretty much whatever I want.”

  1. “I love my watch, it’s a Farm Fresh watch and it’s just a basic leather strap. I think it’s really classic right now.”
  2. “I’m just excited to get into those outfits where you don’t have to layer and layer and layer. I’m just excited for it to be warm and I can wear things to the beach.”

  1. “Right now it’s definitely my leather jacket. I got it for my birthday, and, yeah, it’s pretty dope. It’s something you don’t see every day.”
  2. “I like spring fashion because it’s a mix between winter and summer, so you’re not showing too much, and you’re not layering up too much. You have the option of switching it up, giving a little bit of layers, but also a little, you know–wear sandals, wear open-toed heels, like I am.”

Sascia was an opening model in Vancouver Fashion Week, which ran from March 16 to 22.
