College Fashion Week: Boston - Her Campus

Living in Boston has its perks, and I had the opportunity to attend the first event in Her Campus' first national College Fashion Week that took place at The Estate in downtown Boston last night. Sponsored by U by Kotex, NYX Cosmetics, Luna Bar and Svelte, all the attendants received a nice gift bag, free feminine care products by U by Kotex and complimentary Pinkberry and candy.

The fashion show included only women's wear and revolved around 4 collections, Going to Class, Working Out, Weekend Wear and Formal Wear. 

The intermission entertainment was provided by Boston University's all male a capella group, the Dear Abbeys, who much to my delight, dressed up for the event and were a welcome addition of men's style among all the women's wear collections.

Other than a few curious choices in the Working Out category and in HerCampus.com co-founder Windsor Hanger's wardrobe, the fashion show featured a balanced mix of trendy and comfortable clothing that would appeal to many college aged girls. 

The event had a huge turnout of collegiettes from Northeastern, Boston College, Boston University and Emerson College and Her Campus' "College Fashion Week" is moving to Ann Arbor, MI next with Raleigh-Durham, NC and Santa Barbara, CA to follow later in October. If you're close to any of these areas make sure to get your free ticket to the event and enjoy the first event of this kind and magnitude in the US!

Jazzing It Up At the Museum

Last week brought about a Jazz Party at the Nasher Museum of Art, featuring a fashion show by FORM Magazine, Duke University's very own fashion magazine, Spoken Word poetry by Spoken Verb and Swing dancing. 

Everybody rose to the occasion and dressed up for the event. Marissa and Sarah H. whom I've featured before are on the right and left respectively. My friend Sarah S.(featured here) and I are in the middle.

The FORM fashion show was a welcomed addition to the night and it drew a large crowd. The theme was Black Tie, working in harmony with the suggested attire for the event. Check out two of the models below who were featured on Campus Sartorialist: Sebastien Vandenheste and Marcus Granlund.
