Harvard Fashion Week http://verynoice.com/2012/03/harvard-fashion-week/ http://verynoice.com/2012/03/harvard-fashion-week/#comments Mon, 19 Mar 2012 05:14:12 +0000 The Voice Staff http://verynoice.com/?p=7996 We don’t exactly have the best reputation when it comes to style, beauty, or fashion.

The Crimson’s annual selection of “15 Hottest Freshmen” is an annual target of ridicule and mockery by the bored blogosphere. (Hey, we don’t call it “Harvard hot” for no reason!) While Boston, the place we call “home” and our stock reply to the question: “Where do you go to school?,” doesn’t fare any better. Last year, GQ Magazine named Boston the worst dressed city in America, calling it the country’s “Bad-Taste Storm Sewer: all the worst fashion ideas from across the country flow there, stagnate, and putrefy.” Cambridge also earned a (dis)honorable mention as the “modest little burg” where “everyone dresses like the proprietor of his or her very own meth lab.” Ouch. (But are we really surprised?)

(Mr. John B. Thompson of GQ, if you happen to be reading this, we’d love to meet you. Major hearts.)

This coming week, Harvard’s fashion-related student organizations have teamed up to organize the first ever Harvard Fashion Week. The purpose, evidently, is beautifying the campus and changing the perception that the typical Harvard male spends most of his collegiate career in sweats as his female counterpart prances around in leggings-as-pants, a Northface, and Uggs.

Follow the jump for the listing of events of Harvard Fashion Week, sponsored by Eleganza2012, Identities 2012, the Vestis Council, and the South Asian Association.

Wednesday, March 21st | Identities: Showing of “The September Issue” in Harvard Hall 201 @ 7:30pm

Thursday, March 22nd | Vestis Council: Blog Relaunch Party in Adams UCR @ 9pm

Friday, March 23rd | SAA’s Andaaz: A South Asian Fashion Show in Cabot Theater @ 8pm

Saturday, March 24th | Eleganza: Rent the Runway Trunk Show in Adams UCR @ 2pm

You should go to at least one of these, if not for the free drinks, then for the opportunity to hang out with the hot people of Harvard. See, we didn’t even put that in quotation marks.

Her (politically incorrect) Campus?

A few discoveries and comments:

- LOOK HOW WHITE THE BOYS ARE. Like, every single one of them. (And you criticized us for the lack of diversity in our calendar. Next to this list, it’s practically the flag-bearer of diversity in America.)

- Harvard has no representative. We’re too busy occupying Lamont to care about hot freshmen.

- We question certain choices. Really, guys, really?

Formed in 2006, the band’s second and latest album, titled “The Orchard,” was released last August, featuring a collaboration from Death Cab For Cutie’s Chris Walla and Vampire Weekend’s Rostam Batmanglij. In January of this year, the band was nominated for The 10th Annual Independent Music Awards under the Pop/Rock Album category.

Harvard is still on lockdown. Told by a guard it’s until protests end. No tourists, no Cantabrigians. #OccupyHarvard

The #OccupyHarvard movement has begun! Will you stand with the Will Huntings against the Zuckerbergs? #WeKnowNothingAboutHarvard

Douchebag alert!!! Harvard student yelling on bullhorn out dorm window: “1%! 1%! Thank you Cambridge Police” ew #OccupyHarvard

#occupyharvard bc 25% of the students get 100% of the prime real estate

“education is a right, not just for the rich and white” #occupyharvard #occupyboston

RT @TheAtlanticWire: Harvard keeps #OccupyHarvard for Harvard students only http://theatln.tc/sM5znI

Though in other ways we may strive to be in a top 1% (of test scores, grades, our fields, etc.) we stand as part of the 99% #occupyharvard

“We must occupy again because Harvard employs the very people who were responsible for the economic meltdown” #occupyharvard

It’s raining, we’re super busy, and supplies are low. We hope #occupyharvard is doing alright. Solidarity.

WE ARE THE FUTURE 1%! #OccupyHarvard

This is great: Harvard Divinity students forming a human shield around Harvard Yard occupiers. #OccupyHarvard
