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.

Spotted: Vanessa Prill ’12, outside of Fayerweather after a pro-seminar on the Italian Renaissance. Vanessa’s a European Studies major from Paris, France. 

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

So cash.
