What is Street Style?
Street Style is fashion that emerges not from the runways in New York, Paris, and Milan, but from the real runways: sidewalks.
This new She-bomb feature will highlight Amherst College students (and maybe even a few professors) who filter elements of high fashion through the lens of their personal style. So dress to impress and remember, the sidewalk is your runway. I’ll be watching.

Beaming after an hour and twenty minutes with Bramante. Who wouldn’t be?
