a a a 0 a Photographs by Trevor Campbe 11:11, !:: R : From The Editors This week's edition is The Statement's annual fashion issue. We take a look at the growing fads in the world of threads and expose some of the University's most innovative students. We dedicate one issue each year to this often- neglected social, aesthetic and practical art form on campus. While many students feel the clothes they wear are just an everyday, inconsequential occurrence, others treat their attire with uncom- promising seriousness and as a way of life. While we editors at The Statement pride our- selves on our extensive t-shirt collections, we've recruited a team of clothing connoisseurs to assist us in this endeavor. Aymar Jean coordinated clothing for many of our shoots and Faria Jabbar unloads her usual amount of knowledge. And as you'll notice, The Statement doesn't quite look the same this week. We decided that to be truly "fashionable," we needed a makeover. Thanks to Managing Online Editor Eston Bond and The Statement's weekly designer Bill Couch, this issue has undergone an extensive redesign. Finally, we have to acknowledge the work done by the Daily photo staff. Without them, we wouldn't have any of these amazing photos. Thanks for reading. James V.
