($1 " UTHAT'S NEW for Spring? is a very popular question in many circles, and "Fashion experts" don't have bold, innovative responses this season. Instead, they can tell you what is out: polyester, textured polyester, and polyester bell bottoms. Now nore than ever rules of fashion have been discarded for fun and style. ' Fashion and style are two completely- different notions. Although they may go hand in hand, frequently style gets left in the fitting room. Fashion can be bought but style has no price and is rather hard to find. Let's face it, what ever is "new" this spring or "hot" in July will certainly be deader than a doornail in September. Style is refined and defined by the wearer and not by Calvin Klein or whoever is "in" this season. Style is rather artistic, but that does not mean you have to suffer for it. Someone's personal style may or may not be deemed fashionable, in the short run, but fashion should not be a raison d'etre either. Style does not mean that you're obligated to wear one cut of suit or one make up color for the rest of your life. People who stick to one fashion vehicle as an excuse for style for the duration of their natural lives are fooling them- selves. They become caricatures. People who have style aren't con- strained by fashion guidelines but use them to their advantage. They draw on all sources to develop their look, and they don't force themselves into looks even though fashion magazines give the go ahead. For example, oversize pink and black sweatshirts are everywhere right now and it appears that 50%of all females east of California wear them. People with style don't run to Lord and Taylor for their sweatshirts, they cut the sleeves of their old ones and paint on their shirts themselves. Stylish people may purchase their clothes from "legitimate" stores, or in unassuming and frequently surprising places, or create their own. There are no restrictions here. We photographed people inAnn Arbor who do not limit themselves to what they see around them. They have strong looks and tastes that combine to give them real panache. They dress as in- dividuals, not to impress themselves on others, but to please themselves. By the By Melissia Bryan way, since the shock effect in fashion ended a few years ago, will the people in leather jackets and chains please exit stage right? These models may turn heads because they look different, not because they are offending others in pursuit of some vague political statement or because they resent their mother's influence in the fourth grade, but because they're distinctive. When these people were asked the question, "Why do you dress as you do?" Regardless of the model's per- sonal style the responses indicated the same train of thought. Each person . . ._ stated that if he went out of the house following the accepted conventions of fashion, he wouldn't feelas good about >; -, ::: &'.% ? The Izod Khaki regimen is an excuse for not being able to match colors properly. The other models Kat, Theresa, Khalid, and Jennifer are influenced by European fashion trends. European fashions allow more freedom of ex- pression and are more innovative than American trends. That does not mean that these four people have their clothing flown in from Milan every season, but rather they look around for other in- fluences in their dressing instead of a0 0 :5 a0 :C :) 13 relying available area.

Sh her war cessories Style ca find exat people hig combines acceptanc style is aF "If I go out in plain blue jeans, and an Izod shirt, and sneakers , I feel like I don't have make up on. . . I don't feel dressed," said Kat. Khalid agreed, "If I'm wearing a 'dirty old man' coat and polyester flares (NOT THAT I ever would)" he said, "I just wouldn't feel as good about what I'm doing." Style reflects the attitude of the wearer, perhaps it is the definitive statement of personality. Another opinion expressed was that they do not consider their views and opinions mundane, and they do not want to be perceived as "one of the crowd." They want to state their per- sonality and self-acceptance indirectly by their clothing rather than screaming it from the stone benches of the Diag. The assimilation of attitude, per- sonality, and fashion is the cornerstone of style. You may find it incongruous to see a classically dressed man along with all these supposed Euro-fashion victims. Wrong. If you look closely you will notice one great exception. Bill takes the individualistic stand and wears nothing by Ralph Lauren! Shocking isn't it? he has an incredible style because he does not play the designer label game in putting his wardrobe together. His clothes are purchased in good stores, they fit beautifully, have great lines, but they are understated and they reflect the care with which they are chosen. That is classicism, not wearing the preppy uniform. 0 0 (3 Bars & Clubs Fill out ballot in this issuer * Del Rio - Local jazz artists get together tonight to keep jazz alive.
