There was a time when lace was confined to doilies, wedding dresses and the trimmings of robes. Now it can be found on and off campus, as the textile industry spins lace faster than consumers can snatch it up.
Picture a "bro" in your head. You could be imagining any number of different people, including an upper middle-class male in a fraternity. Someone in a cut-off T-shirt and a flat-billed hat. A beer-loving, collar-popping guy with a penchant for Sperry top-siders and hanging out with other men.

If you've ever pulled out your holiday dress and wondered what the sheer, soft fabric on top is made of, chances are it's chiffon. This lightweight material can be found as fancy overlays on formal gowns, but it can be found in blouses, scarves, and lingerie.

Frequently described as one of the best and most knowledgeable faculty members, Cox is known for using clever analogies, jokes and unconventional tactics to help his students program, and is widely known throughout campus for his challenging classes that foster independent thinking.
This week, the spotlight is on a student that has openly embraced a resurging trend: unabashed defiance of long established fashion rules, such as "Never wear white after Labor Day."
Last week's Trends on Campus focused on how to wear something light, dressy, and comfortable in the summer heat, so it may come as a surprise that this time, the featured student is fully covered. Sid Rich College junior Nathan Han, is wearing jeans. And a vest. Not the clothes that come to mind when getting ready for a trek in 105 degree weather.
