7.) Ties
Divina - Communications major
“Let's keep it classy, please.”
8.) Digging through Vogue Archives
Divina - Communications major
“Drexel’s basement is home to some pearls. It's always nice to grab an old Vogue on a cold day and curl up on the couch. Inspiration for days.”
9.) Armor
Ellie - D&M major
“Chainmail, Greaves, and metal chest plates are all the rage for high-end fantasy couture. From Balenciaga FW21 resurfacing on TikTok to Bella Hadid's chrome metal look for MJ Heaven F23, we all want to experience a little medieval fantasy this season.”
10.) Dog Clothes
Ellie - D&M major
“These doggies are getting cold and are not the type of chilly dogs you want.”

Lauren - D&M major
“Whether it's avant-garde clown looks from Violet Chachki or Pat Mcgrath's Margiela glass skin, everyone is feeling their porcelain oats.”
18.) Bright White eyeshadow
Lauren - D&M major
“Especially if it's defused and paired with a bold liner or lash, it aligns with the "Dark Feminine" aesthetic and brings out the eyes. Tie it together with a thin brow, and you're the femme fatale of everyone's dreams.”
19.) Sunglasses
Maya - Fashion Design major
“Keep it cute and keep it mute; grab some sunnies and keep it moving.”
20.) Wearing What You Want
Maya - Fashion Design major
“Time to stop wearing what you see and start wearing what you like. Figure out what elements of clothes intrigue you and why.”
21.) Being Funny
Maya - Fashion Design major
“Notice it does not say, “Try being funny.” Know your place; if you are funny, keep it coming. If you’re not, keep pushing.”
22.) Chihuahua
Mia - D&M major
“They’re mini, and they work.”
23.) Listening to Early 70s Jazz Fusion Records
Nick - D&M (faculty)
“It has a little surrealist vibe with so many things mashed together. There used to be a lot of hate for early '70s fusion, but it's heavily appreciated now.”
24.) Dumplings
Nick - D&M (faculty)
“Warmth for the heart.”
25.) Colorful Tights
Nyah - D&M major

26.) Silver Chunky Hoops
Shea - D&M major
“Big bold but still opulent.”
27.) Balaclava Scarves
Summer - Film & Television major
“They’re so cute and so warm. A balaclava and a baseball hat are a great mix, but the scarf must be really cute. I love the ones mixed with many colors or just monochrome.”
28.) Uggs/Any Warm Boot
Summer - Film & Television major
“I have to walk at least 15 minutes to class daily, and I like being cozy! I specifically enjoy wearing baggy jeans or pants over my Uggs.”

Sydney - D&M major
“Fur jackets, vests, boots, hats, and scarves… not only do they keep you warm, but they look CHIC!!”
30.) Trench Coats
Talal - Public Health major
