Before attending LIM, I actually participated in the College鈥檚 in-person pre-college summer program myself. I took Fashion Media, a weeklong, credit-bearing course taught by Professor John Deming. The course focuses on journalism and students work together to create a print magazine over the course of the week.
Naturally, I wanted to see what students were up to in the Fashion Media course this summer! I was so excited to chat with these students about my own time in the program and my current endeavors as the Editorial Director for , LIM's student publication.
Ever since the pre-college Fashion Media class first started, the student publication has been called Static and it features a student-made fashion editorial. This summer, students worked with Professor Deming and LIM student Francesca Gonzalez via Zoom to create the 6th volume of Static. This year鈥檚 theme focused on connection through distance and carried motifs of technology and cellphones throughout the photo editorial. With students coming from everywhere from the East Coast of the U.S. to California and even the Philippines to work on this, it was crazy to see how cohesive their fashion editorial was!
