How to Become SMU’s Best Trendsetter Ever

boohoo.com has been on our style radar for a while now—where else do you think we’ve been getting our Euro-inspired summer looks this season? Once the U.K.’s best-kept secret (and now one of the fastest-growing international e-tailers), boohoo has quickly evolved into a global fashion leader for collegiettes on both sides of the pond. We’re obsessed with its simple and fun philosophy: don’t take fashion or life too seriously! Plus, the brand has been pushing boundaries to bring us all the latest looks for less since 2006, and we never say no to fashion on a collegiette-friendly budget!

From hosting star-studded celebrity events to producing their own StyleFix magazine, boohoo always has something wild and amazing going on (kind of like we collegiettes do). Every day the trendsetting geniuses at boohoo add almost 100 new pieces to their site! Want in on the action (and maybe even the fashion industry itself)?

We’re going to let you in on a secret: You’ve got a chance to become just as on-trend as boohoo is without breaking the bank. This fall, boohoo is breaking out from across the pond more than ever before to take the U.S. by storm and is launching a brand ambassador program at 15 campuses located all over the country, and SMU is one of them! They’re looking for style influencers to join the boohoo STYLE SQUAD and represent boohoo on campus. Think you have what it takes to be a trendsetter?

So what’s in it for you? You know, besides the opportunity to be a fashion authority (for real), plus a ton of free clothes… (and that’s only the beginning).
