'tween fashion

When I was in this 'tweens age group, my fashion role models were from the show Kids Incorporated. yikes. glad that phase ended! Most of them have grown into more graceful fashions (Jennifer Love Hewitt) or into their own fashion blunders (Fergie, ahem)


For my sister, a senior in high school, it was more Mary Kate and Ashley...


Now maybe it's Hannah Montana?


But it seems that early teen fashion is bordering more on the Brittney Spears side of ugly than the bubblegum sparkling kaleidoscope of Disney. Obviously, most Calvin students are past this fashion phase (let's HOPE we are), but this is a fun article from Slate on the state of clothing for our younger counterparts. It's enough to make me pray for a FABber to tackle the 'tweens industry and get some amazingly creative, responsibly made, and affirming designs in those malls!!!

i may understand ur point, but what then should we say about spiked hair, black eyeliner, and rocker boots that appear in some of our shows at calvin....people express themeselves in different ways...and I dont think that Hannah's style is at all provokative in this photo...i would classify it as cute. It appears to be quit modest and the material would make for a exciting show outfit.
