Style Eye on Kent
Yves Saint Laurent once said, “Fashions fade, style is eternal.”
Style is known to show one’s true character. Let me introduce you to Bradley Springfield. As I walked into Rockwell, dreading my midterm exam, I discovered Bradley.
“I want that tweed blazer!” I thought as I admired his outfit. It was so vintage yet so modern.
I approached Bradley, saying, “First, I want to say I love your jacket. Second, my name is Remah and I’m with Style Eye. Have a moment?”
Bradley Springfield, a senior in fashion merchandising, is the Style Eye of the week.
Doleh: So Mr. Springfield, what does fashion mean to you?
Springfield: The ability and freedom to portray confidence, keep a cool aura and remain calm and collected, no matter the occasion.
RD: Do you have a personal style quirk?
BS: Yes, with these chilly days and nights I must wear my black motorcycle leather gloves, designed by Marc Jacobs, with every outfit.
RD: I noticed you have your jeans rolled up. For me, my style quirk is rolling up my jeans. I got that idea from Thom Browne. So why do you roll up your jeans?
BS: In the summer, I often rolled up my jeans. So I just stuck with it, but now I wear socks.
RD: Explain your outfit. And where did you get the inspiration for your outfit?
BS: Today I was wearing a tweed blazer, deep V-neck paired with a cardigan, distressed jeans with rolled pant legs, black and gray oxford’s designed by Bed Stu, Marc Jacob purse and of course the black leather motorcycle gloves.
I had a V-man magazine lying on my counter table, and Ashley Olsen is a feature. She recently launched a men’s line for The Row, so I decided to create my own interpretation of it for the day.
RD: Final question: If you had a choice of all designers in the world, who would you prefer to work for? Why?
BS: Tom Ford or Marc Jacobs. Enough said.
RD: You’re right, there’s no reason to explain why one would want to work for Jacobs or Ford. An opportunity like that couldn’t be explained in words.
