This mag-azine represents an association made up of complex, talented, creative, and aspiring professionals who have an “Oceans Deep” imagination beyond the surface level. Through this magazine, FNA hopes to create a platform and an opportunity for individuals to express themselves and network with the San Francisco and Bay Area community.

TIP:I’d say to have sharp lines, simple patterns and earthy tones. Black always feels powerful. Noth-ing flashy so no jewelry. To really make it work though, you need to believe you take up more space in a room than you actually do. Confidence is key.

TREND REPORTSTRIPESSummertime is here! It’s the season where you can play around with your outfits by mixing bright colors and fun, bold prints for those memorable summer days and nights. Designers such as Dolce & Gabbana and Tommy Hilfiger, showcased their bold striped gar-ments in their Spring 2016 Ready-To-Wear collection.Different variations of stripes such as, vertical, diago-nal, and horizontal were incorporated into the de-signs, giving the garments dimension and structure. Dolce & Gabbana’s approach to stripes were subtle and simple by staying close to neutral colors with small pops of bright colored embellishments, giving the simple, elegant, yet bold look!

Tommy Hilfiger took took bold colored stripes to another level. Even though Tommy Hilfiger used every color of the rainbow in the designs,it is important to pay attention to stripe variations and the use of white and black stripes to tie the look together.Runway looks are beautiful...on the runway! But there are a few simple tricks to tweak your outfit to be as fashion-able in your everyday life. Stripes and bold prints can be intimidating, but they can be easily be dressed down for a summer beach party, or dressed up for a romantic date night. Balance is key! When dealing with bold, bright col-ors, it is important to incorporate nude or monochromatic colors to keep your summer outfit bold without being too overwhelmed. A good trick is to throw on plain, neutral cardigan, a fun tan colored sun hat, or a pair of light col-ored strappy heels or flats!

WORDS BY ELENA ROLDAN

20 | OCEANS DEEP

It is finally that time of the year where you can actually start wearing the looks you saw on the runway in the fall. Sometimes the trends from the runway seem a little overtop or impossible to find an event to wear that outfit to. Now the trick is how to get those great runway trends into your closet and an even bigger question is how do you put the trends into your everyday wear. Ruffles were seen in many designer’s collections on the runway from Chloe to Alexander McQueen. Chloe had simpler and free flowing ruf-fles compared to the many ruffles that were on Alexander McQueen’s garments. Alexander McQueen had big ruffles that made a statement or smaller ones that went through the entire garment and still made as big of a statement. More than half of the collection had ruffles on it.Now the challenge is to implement this into your wardrobe. First tip is do not be intimidated by the ruffle or ruffles. Believe it or not but ruffles can be executed by many different styles from preppy, to girly, to edgy, or boho. Second tip is that confidence is everything so find ruffles that you are comfortable with wearing. Last but not least find great ruffle pieces that will mesh well with what you already have in your closet. If you buy a piece with ruffles and it does not go with anything in your closet you will never wear it, believe me, so stick to your personal style.

Jewelry is as important as the clothes themselves when putting together an outfit because it pulls together the individual pieces of our outfits into a single coherent work of art and acts as a guide for viewers to understand the personality we, as fashioni-stas, express through our outfits. Jewelry adds the detail neces-sary for outfits to reach their full potential by adding a little extra sparkle and shine that top off an outfit. Embellishments achieve the same effect as jewelry and are salient in this season’s fashion. Our favorite designers have been adorning their masterpieces with beads, sequins, and jewels, bal-ancing the perfect shine-to-matte ratio, which make embellished clothing an irresistible trend to follow. With the incorporation of these adornments, the clothes do the accessorizing for you! The Spanish fashion brand, Delpozo, has recently reeled in buzz with its bold shapes and carefully placed embellishments. Their show at New York Fashion Week paraded cool summertime col-ors paired with unique shapes and interesting drapery. Delpozo’s creativity in designing patterns is inspiring. Any piece from their spring/summer collection will bring texture and structure to your wardrobe.

Behind the glitz and the glamour on the runway,

the Apparel Design and Merchandising (ADM) students work endless-ly, producing the annu-al ADM spring runway show, Emerge. The show exhibits ADM se-nior design collections for the surrounding

and local SFSU commu-nity. The show is the most anticipated fash-ion event every year at San Francisco State University. For years, the show has been a success, drawing in large crowds and show-casing many talented designers. This year, the show took place on

the evening of Thurs-day, April 28th at the San Francisco Design Center Galleria. Doors opened at 6:30 pm to allow guests inside be-fore the 7:00 pm show. Event guests grabbed drinks, browsed ven-dors, and got comfort-able until it was show-time.

RECAP

Students from the Visual Merchandising and Promotions class (ADM 569), contributed to

the planning of the fashion show. The students were split into three groups; Re-Use, Technology, and Collections. Each student was responsible for a specific task in each group, such as coordinating designers, reaching out to designers and models, and collecting garments for the show. The Broad-cast and Electronic Communications Art (BECA) department also worked alongside the ADM Stu-dents. BECA was responsible for the technology aspect of the show including, monitors, videos during the show, and making the electronic visual displays. The day before the show was a tech re-hearsal. BECA came together and executed their hard work, lighting the stage and chairs to create a unique atmosphere. On the day of the show, models, ADM students and BECA students arrived early to execute a full dress rehearsal. With the help of both the ADM and BECA students, Spring 2016 Runway: Emerge, was organized for success.

23 | OCEANS DEEP

The runway showcased over 30 collections that each represent-ed a unique personality with

coherent ideas. Although the collec-tions included looks that ranged from all genres of fashion from street style to bridal wear, there were several overlapping themes. Viewers saw me-tallic fabric, mix-matched patterns, and textured prints incorporated into many of the collections. Among the most outstanding collections were the designs of senior ADM design student Rosa Abili. Abili’s designs included a transparent bright pink colored plastic top that models courageously strutted

down the runway. If the sixties met the futuristic realms, Abili’s top would be their baby. A metallic black gown de-signed by senior ADM student Alyxis Prater showed off an intriguing single strap, voluminous skirt with a undu-lating train. Throughout the show, the designers mixed textures and played with sillhouttes. A show stopper collec-tion, creating graphics and fun textures with paint splatters, dyes, and fringe tassles, student designer Yvonne Or-tiz brought brilliance and innovation. From designer Wei Kong’s oversized, structured wool-tweed over coat to Lia Herra’s bright turquoise accordian shift

dress, sillhouettes were seen all across the broad. Last, but definitely not least, the talented Craig Chao encaptured flows of minimalism in cool and earthy tones from head to toe. The first look was a textured black leather and white rouged sleeved dress, styled perfectly on a bowl cut model simple makeup of silver dots below her eyes, gave the whole look the edge it needed. His five piece collection was inspired. The Apparel Design and Merchandising’s Spring Runway: Emerge was a success as the audiences’ eyes captivated on the diverse designers’ blood, sweat and tears as they walked down the runway.

STRAWBERRY+BAKING SODA

VSBANANA PEEL

There are various artificial methods to whiten teeth from using light technology to white strips. Although these methods work well in providing quick results, they often use harsh, unnatural chemicals todo so. As an alternative, two of our team members, Shauna and Amy, put some natural teeth whitening remedies to

the test for one week!

VSTHEORY: Baking soda is known for its whitening properties, from cleaning the house to erasing coffee and tea stains off your favorite mug. Strawber-ries are not only in season in the summer, but the malic acid in this summer fruit is another helpful boost of whitening power.

METHOD: Mash a large strawberry with a fork and mix with 1 2 teaspoons of baking soda. Spread the mix onto your top and bottom teeth with a soft toothbrush or popsicle stick and let sit for 5 minutes. Rinse with water and repeat this process once a week (over usage can cause damage or sensitivi-ty).

RESULTS: This method is a gradual process! The taste is also something to get used to, the bitter taste coming from the baking soda. After two weeks (two uses), results were only slightly evident. Shauna suggests only using this method if you can wait a little longer before your big event.

BANANA PEELSVSTHEORY: The healthy amount of potassium, magnesium, and manganese in banana peels are great whitening agents, especially for your teeth. An-other great benefit of using banana peels is that it is a no waste method and also an inexpensive one that is available year round.

METHOD: Cut about a 1” 1.5” strip of banana peel and rub on your top and bottom front teeth for two minutes each. Brush afterwards following your normal teeth cleansing routine. Repeat this process as often as possi-ble if not everyday for a week or two.

RESULTS: Results were evident, but not obvious after just one week of us-age. There is a bit of a sticky, waxy feeling right after the banana peel rub, but brushing right after will get rid of it. There is no particular taste that comes with this method and is easy to clean.

BEFORE AFTERLastly, here are some extra tips to help your pearly whites look their best on a daily basis:● Wear a darker lip color so that your teeth look whiter against darker lips.● Don’t eat or chew dark colored foods with your front teeth. Teeth have little pores on theirsurfaces that can easily trap dark food particles that can dull the color of your teeth.● Opt for beverages without as much staining power as compared to tea or coffee or drink your bev-erages through a straw to avoid interrupting your teeth whitening process.

College is the perfect time for exploration and

self-discovery. It is the perfect stage in life where students are officially adults, but not quite self-re-liant and not quite independent. It’s the perfect time to travel and dive into new ex-periences. Ultimately, it is the perfect time to study abroad.

When I first heard the Consumer and Family Studies (CFS) depart-ment provided a study abroad trip every year during spring break for a ridiculously discounted price, I knew I had to jump on board (literally) for this exciting adven-ture. This was my time to dive into a great

new experience.

The trip travelled stu-dents through Swit-zerland, Italy, and the French Riviera in 11 days. It was a huge culture shock! Travel-

ling for the first time overseas, I had no idea what to expect.

On our first stop to Switzerland, I was in

awe of the preserva-tion of the country’s history and culture. Everything Switzer-land did, they did for the preservation of its country. It’s no won-der Switzerland is one of the richest coun-tries in the world!

Italy was my favor-ite country to visit. The Italian lifestyle of bikes and mopeds running through the streets and the smell of gelato on every cor-ner mesmerized me.

“To say I was culture shocked is an

understatement!”

From all the cities we visited, Florence was the one that reminded me of San Francisco the most. There were urban vibes of fast-paced lifestyles and busy people reminis-cent to the San Francis-co culture.

The French Riviera was the most beautiful

stop on our trip. The landscape and coastal views were breathtak-ing and surreal. I was most surprised by the lavish and rich lifestyle of the country, Mona-co. To say I was culture shocked is an under-statement!

Reflecting on my trip, I will forever be grateful

for this amazing experi-ence that SFSU offered through this college tour. It was the first time I had ever been out of the country let alone out of California. I will forever keep the amazing memories of Europe and the new friendships I made during my trip close to my heart.

Oh..., wow!” Street Style Editor Giselle Alvarado breath-tak-

ingly gasped as Oscar de la Renta’s gowns peeped around the corner. My eyes immediately were taken away by Oscar’s Resort 1966 Dress for Jane Derby, glis-tening, standing there still like a 60’s mod princess full of beads, foils, and embroi-dery greeting people into the party. Immediately, before entering the dim lit room people were crowded and murmuring in excitement. A mass of diverse people from all around the nation huddled and anticipated by the exhibit’s entrance for the

viewing. Everyone was try-ing to look over each other’s head and shoulders, just to peer in what appeared to be a dim lit room full of his designs.

The exhibit encaptured the history of his creations, em-bodied his inspirations, and pedestaled his truly amazing talent for detail and versatil-ity in design through the five decades of his career.

The walk flow of the ex-hibition was organized by themed rooms. The first room was a colorful trio of simple, elegant silhouettes from his spring 1974 col-

lection titled “Versailles” (a huge symbol for the begin-nings of his career) across from the Nancy Drew-like looks of preparatory plaid, translucent structured plas-tics, and intricately beaded jewels of the 60s. Walking into the next showcase, was a juxtaposed room of finely detailed night to day wear. Many of the pieces were worn and designed for and inspired by politicians and celebrities. Third, moved on into two rooms of cultural influences from Spain and Eastern Asia. These rooms epitomized de la Renta’s eye for complex textiles and unique sillhouettes. Fourth,

was like a trip to the country side of France. The designs embodied reminiscence Marie An-toinette at a garden party. The room transitioned to a fifth room of a tableau vivant recreation of Ste-ven Meisel’s photo from U.S. Vogue 2010. The mannequin’s feathered mohawks stood high,

while the trains of tafeda, silk, and tule party dress-es flowed long. Lastly, but definitely not least was a mirrored, vibrant room of his red carpet ball gowns. The mirrors on the wall captured not only a three-sixty view of the gowns, but the price-less faces of the admirers. In this room, as one with

the audience, we be-came Oscar de la Renta’s screaming fans and pa-parazzi on his red carpet. The exhibition was a true tribute and reflection of Oscar de la Renta’s inpira-tional and influencial ca-reer. Every piece of work unveiled how he helped define and create fashion history.

KATHLEEN MYERSKathleen is the princess that every girl aspires to be when they grow up. When asked to de-scribe her style, there was no hesitation “Girly! Anybody who knows me knows that I love pink, anything pastel, lace and tulle.”

Though the bold lipsticks and flailing skirts give the impression that Kathleen’s personality is just as loud as her style, she is much more soft spo-ken than anything. She was motivated to cre-ate her blog from a desire to express herself in ways that were difficult in person.

“I need to express myself in ways that I can’t with words, sometimes it’s really hard for me to make friends because I’m so introverted, so I use my blog as a tool to express to people the real me.“

Kathleen admires various local bloggers like Gal Meets Glam and The Dress Fiend, but her main inspiration comes from her little sister. The key to the thousands of followers Kathleen has accumulated on her blog and youtube is her genuine desire to want to empower the younger generation. Kathleen says that before she posts anything she asks herself, “what would my sis-ter think of this?”

Kathleen’s site is so much more than just a fash-ion blog, its an avenue of expression that dis-plays achievable style and values individuality. Kathleen’s closet is one for your bookmarks.

HELENANUTT

How long have you been designing/ sewing? H: I have been sewing and designing since elementary school when I decided my Barbie’s needed clothes different from what my mom was buying them at the time.

What do you want to do in the fashion industry long term? H: I actually want to work on textiles for the apparel industry, I fell in love with the textile design process on accident since I have been studying design. It gives me the freedom to be an artist and still be a part of the fashion world. My dream job would be working for Chanel in their fabrics department.

Is there someone in particular that inspires you/ encourages you to continue in this designing pursuit? H: My family is a really big motivating factor and not just my parents who are amazing, but also my two sisters and my brother. We’re all really close and not only do they inspire me by working hard in their respective fields, but they always come together to support me. Myyounger sister is one of my models in every show, my older sister has donated to the cause and comes to watch, and my brother always sends words of encouragement. I don’t think I would make it without them.

What kind of women (or men) do you envision wearing your clothing? H: Women who want to be bold and confident and express sexy in a non main-stream way.

What do you care most about outside of the fashion world? Why?H: Outside of the fashion world I really care about wildlife preservation. Growing up I did want to be a veterinarian and have a huge soft spot for animals. Big cats are my favorite and I donate to WWF to help preserve the natural habitat of jaguars, tigers and snow leopards which are all endangered or crit-ically threatened.

What advice do you have for aspiring designers? H: Experience as much as you can, you never know what will inspire you and what will be the aspect of design you obsess over. Once you find what you love nurture it and never be afraid to be you.

How has SF state or the ADM pro-gram progressed your learning? H: While studying at SF state I’ve really be-come conscious of my clothing choices and design aesthetic. It’s been a kind of enlighten-ment period for me. Being exposed to so many personal styles on a daily basis living here in the city as well as being challenged by ADM instructors. Being in Professor Baugh’s GWAR class made me think critically about my dress and clothing choices while Professor Ulase-wicz’s product development class pushed me to consider how choices in my career will affect the world we all live in. Dr. Ready-Best’s cos-tume history course is also very near and dear to my heart since in gave an opportunity for my mother and I to grow closer while completing an oral history project. I got to see some of the coolest old pictures of my mom because of that project!

Can you tell us a little about your collection for the spring senior designer show? H: I’m working on a resort collection with a lot of interesting surface design elements. There will be painted, printed and dyed textiles and even a little 3d printing. Expect bold tropical colors and Amazon inspired patterns, it’s definitely going to be something you’ll want to see in person.

Fashion is more than just skin deep, as this is proven and seen through the hard work of students, artists, minds,and creators behind the depths of

the industry.

Oceans Deep is the perfect epitome of Fashion Network Association’s first fashion magazine. It helps set the stage to show what FNA has in store for you all. From the dedicated hands of the club, this magazine reveals just the beginning of student’s talents, stories, and potential.

In the abyss of the ocean, color and life are contin-uously growing, shifting, and transforming. The pub-lication of this issue is a transformative moment not only in FNA history, but in San Francisco State Uni-versity’s history as being the first online fashion magazine on campus. And just like the the sealife be-neath the great blue, FNA is all about growth and the ability to bloom out into the industry. Creative Di-rector, Victoria Lo strived to illustrate the depction of Oceans Deep and the summer season in this years ediotial shoot by featuring model, Courtney Tisdale and her strong piercing ocean blue eyes. In collabo-ration with FNA’s innovative editorial team, Lo sets Tisdale emersed in vibrant waters, emotions of pas-sion, and the popular 2016 summer trend of mixing blue denim and curated botanicals.

Lastly, as water is a common symbol of rebirth and Fashion Network Association refreshingly starting a new depth with the creation of the ‘zine, FNA is excited to embark this cavernous and visually stimulating od-yssey with you. The students of this organization are grateful for your support in veiwing their creations.
