OUR MISSION STATEMENT:
The aim of this magazine is to adjudicate a community and medium through which Bucknell students, faculty/staff, alumni, Lewisburg businesses and members can share their interest in fashion, as it pertains to the Bucknell experience and the greater fashion industry. The content of this magazine strives to be a fun, but practical and affordable venue for fashion within the greater contexts of student life for both men and women.
Section 1:
To give Bucknell students the opportunity to create their own background and experience in the Fashion Industry, more specifically, in Fashion Journalism. To give these students a medium through which they can engage in a real-life fashion magazine through design-layout, production, editing, writing, and distribution while attending Bucknell University.
Section 2:
To serve as a resource for students regarding information about internships, careers, summer and study abroad opportunities in the fashion industry.
Section 3:
To support alumni interest in preserving a link with Bucknell’s fashion-oriented students and to encourage alumni contribution to our content through sharing their experiences and advice.
Section 4:
To serve as a unique link between Bucknell and the Lewisburg community by supporting local boutiques, businesses, and the Bucknell Bookstore through advertising and featuring their fashion-related merchandise in each publication.
Section 5:
To open up an opportunity for students to expand upon their interest in fashion and style as an art form and a viable form of expression that fosters creativity and individuality in everyday life. To give students a medium to explore the many facets of fashion including form, style, color, texture, illustration, shape, trend, among others.
Section 6:
To promote and sponsor a healthy body image and lifestyle for both men and women. Be seeks to gain and promote a broad spectrum of diverse ethnicity, gender and size awareness in its presentation of individual fashion and the fashion industry as a whole.
Section 7:
To maintain a separate, but friendly relationship with Culture Couture and to promote their activities whenever possible.
Section 8:
To develop and continually enhance our club website in order to supplement our publications, activities and fashion knowledge to the Bucknell and Lewisburg community and beyond.
