If you’re a Brown student and haven’t visited the RISD Museum yet, you need to get down there. And I mean ASAP. I made a trip on a sunny Sunday morning, spinach croissant and cigarette in hand. I was not mentally prepared for the visual explosion that was to welcome me on Benefit Street. That’s right, boys and girls. It’s located on Benefit (walk down to List, onto Benefit, and turn right. You’ll see it right before you hit Waterman). The best thing about all of this? RISD and Brown students get in for free. Here’s a quick tour for all the lazybums out there.


Haruka Aoki and Luisa Robledo instantly bonded over the love for witty writing and haute couture. Haruka, a self-professed fashionista, has interned at Oak Magazine and various public relations companies where she has reached leadership positions. Luisa, a passionate journalist and editor of the Arts and Culture section of Brown University's newspaper, has interned and Vogue and has co-designed a shoe collection for the Colombian brand Kuyban. Together, they aim to create a website that deals with the real issues that college women face, a space that can serve as a forum of communication. With the help of an internationally-minded team section editors and writers who have different backgrounds, experiences, and mentalities, these two Brown girls will establish a solid presence on-campus.
