Seven Hills School\u2014Have you ever walked down the hall and wished you were on the runway? We unlocked the perspective of fashion in the Seven Hills Middle School community, from jerseys to dresses, and dug deeper to examine how people express themselves through fashion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inspiration <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most people start their outfits with an idea of how they want to look. This can range from your favorite social media influencer all the way to how the teacher you see in the halls every day chooses to dress. Here’s a peek at what inspires people the most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Athletes have a large influence on how kids dress these days. Johnny Khalil says, \u201cShai Gilgeous-Alexander\u2019s pregame outfits are one of my biggest inspirations.\u201d Muhammad Raja agrees, \u201cHis swag is so tough.\u201d Others get influenced by NFL stars. Law Kennedy says, \u201cI really love Joe Burrows fits.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Others get their inspiration from the past. Mr. Waskowitz says, \u201cMy father\u2026 He was a very individual dresser… He wore a lot of outrageous clothing.\u201d Once his father passed away, his daughters started influencing him to dress like his father. He says, \u201cMy daughters started buying me colorful pieces.\u201d From that point on, Mr. Waskowitz started wearing and representing himself in these clothing pieces. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finding The Outfit<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the inspiration is found, it is time to pick the outfit. People around Seven Hills all decided how to choose their day-to-day outfits differently. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mahammed Raja says \u201cSometimes my outfit depends on the weather but mainly my mood.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only do people use their mood to influence them, but they also go with what they know. Ms. Niedlien-Dial says, \u201cYou almost never see me out of heels.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Others pick their outfits based on how others will feel. Cadence Jackson says, \u201cI choose my outfit based on what’s going to turn heads.\u201d Johnny Khalil agrees adding \u201cMy outfits are based off of if they’re flashy or not. I love bright colors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where Do They Buy Their Clothes? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The way all people start with fashion is first getting their clothes. People from around Seven Hills all vary from high sensible fashion stores to athletic stores. The most worn athletic brand is Nike. As Law Kennedy says the Nike sets \u201care tuff (or tough)\u201d and many other middle school members would agree. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another big athletic Store is Dicks Sporting Goods. A lot of students and faculty members buy clothes there because \u201cIt’s a great place especially for a lot of nice soft athletic wear,\u201d says Law Kennedy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

People also shop online, but many in the Seven Hills community are big on thrifting. It’s a great way to recycle and repurpose clothes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Expression through clothes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many people have different reasons on why they believe that they should express themselves through their fashion. People say that expression through fashion is a way to show their identity and individuality, while others say they see their expression as a billboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the most notable ways of fashion expression is the way Madame Kalubi expresses herself. She said \u201cFor me, I can share my identity through my clothes because they are unusual, the colors and the fabric.\u201d She goes on to say that not a lot of people pull it off, and she likes that she can. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr. Waskowitz says, \u201cPeople see it and it’s kinda like my billboard,\u201d as stated earlier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The students and faculty of The Seven Hills Middle School all have different styles and fashion choices that show who they are and the way they are inside.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
