“Not everyone has to like what I am wearing,” says Darienne Madlala, a sophomore pre-med and History major.
She only has a few minutes to discuss her unique sense of fashion. Between labs, we convene over Grab n’ Go sandwiches behind the vending machines in the basement of Keefe to talk.
“I have never cared. I always think you should just wear what you want to wear. And I am really not that type of person to judge what other people wear.”
“Clothes can be from any store,” Madlala continues. “It is just a matter of looking.”
New York Times’ fashion photographer Bill Cunningham once said that the best fashion show takes place on the street. While Amherst College fashion may not be New York City fashion (Bean Boots replace six-inch heels), Amherst fashion still tells the story of our students.
