What are you involved in on campus?
I’m part of Students for Environmental Action and I go to Fashion Design Club when I have time, because I love sewing.
What have you sewn?
I made one of my favorite black skirts fully from scratch to fit my body. I also make a lot of bow barrettes and alter most of my thrifted clothes.
Do you usually wear black?
I don’t, but lately I have been because it is fall, and trends from this time of year over the past few seasons have been showing up in my clothing choices. Plus, I love black fake leather.
Why fake leather over real leather?
I also think that fake leather looks better than real leather in the sense that it doesn’t support a co-product of the dairy industry.
Does the environment often show up in your fashion choices?
I suppose it affects the way I dress a lot because I try to live a low-impact lifestyle and have a small eco-footprint. I don’t like to buy leather first-hand and I try to thrift most of my clothes.
