Campus Couture
By Kristen Paulson
Tommie Watson, fashion director for SAKS Fifth Avenue stores in Boston, knows what has been parading down the runways in Milan, Paris, and New York this fall. For men, it's French cuffs and velvet or track suits and suede trainers. For women, it's urban (racing stripes and hooded sweatshirts) and Mod (geometric patterns, bright '60s colors). W and Vogue magazines were pushing "biker chic" and "ladylike polish."
We wondered if college students had been paying attention to all of this. So we hit the Boston campuses, turning them into our own fashion runways and interviewing the trendsetters we found there.
Karina Goldstein, a 25-year-old advertising major at Boston College from Brazil, wears standout jeans, pegged and faded jeans with dangling faux suspenders, by Colcci, a Brazilian brand. Her silver flats with punched-out holes are from Brazil, too. Her wraparound sunglasses are by Christian Dior, and her handbag, in corduroy, is from the Gap ($34). Karina amplifies "biker chic" with metal accents: a large silver star pendant on a choker and dangling chain-mail earrings.
KARINA'S TAKE ON FALL TRENDS: "I think the trend is long socks, over the knee, with short skirts."
