Looking forward to returning to

Owl Magazine after a brief hiatus, I

was ready and inspired to work-

- until I found out that I would

be working on a fashion themed

issue. Fashion?! My idea of fash-

ion is blue jeans, sunglasses, and a

plain shirt.

Whether we may want to admit

it or not, we all have our own

sense of fashion and style. Mine

just so happens to be influenced

by the fact that I’d probably rather

be outside surrounded by some

old-timey bluegrass tunes. And,

well, I work with three-year-olds.

Some style, huh?

In this fashion-inspired issue,

learn the tricks and trades of

being fashionable without much

effort (pg. 4). Find out how local

car enthusiasts use car modifica-

tion as an extension of their per-

sonalities to influence their style

(pg. 5) See what impact music has

on local students’ sense of style

(pg. 8) and discover which Balti-

more native became a self-taught

designer (pg. 14).

It’s not just what we wear and

how we look that make up our

unique style.

Everyone puts on different hats

during the day; everyone wears

a costume. It’s the way we think

and reason, it’s the music we

listen to, it’s our personality and

outlook on life that contributes to

and influences our sense of style.

“The only thing harder than waking up after a late-night-bender is finding a way to make it to work or class on time and in style.”

Looking hip is as easy as putting your hands in your pockets and leaning against a fence.

The only thing harder than waking up

after a late-night-bender is finding a

way to make it to work or class on time

and in “style.” Being lazy and stylish

can be hard while rummaging through

the hamper to find something that’s not

too wrinkled to pass as clean.

Do we have time to iron that shirt?

Toss our wrinkled pants in the dryer,

or bathe ourselves in Febreze? Proba-

bly not, but as men we have a duty to

take the easy way out so we can look

presentable and be on time.

These thoughts run through a typical

guy’s mind just about every morning.

Finding a socially passable outfit and

masking that wet trash smell of yours

while trying to be punctual is stressful

for all of us. However, overcoming your

inner laziness is not far from our reach

with some of my advice.

Business Administration major

Cameron Grier says, “If I can’t find

something to wear, I’ll just grab some-

thing that’s marginally cleaner from my

brother’s room. It might not fit, but at

least it’s clean.”

Looking hip isn’t even all that hard

nowadays. Most fashionable looks can

be found at thrift stores, garage sales, or

even that old chest in your grandmom’s

attic that’s full of your weird uncle’s

clothing from the ‘80s. Pop on some out

of date clothing, put your hands in your

pockets, lean on a wall like a J. Crew

model and you’ll be straight swagging.

Unlike us men, women spend entirely

too much time getting prepared. Ac-

cording to a study done by the Harley

Street Clinic, women spend up to a year

and three months of their lives applying

makeup alone. I can say with profound

confidence that I have spent a maximum

of about four hours or less getting ready

in my entire life while still managing to

look fantastic.

When it comes to our hair, getting

it cut is usually optional, provided that

your employer doesn’t really care about

what you look like. Using conditioner is

usually completely unnecessary for most

occasions. Fortunately, rocking a tight fe-

dora cap is an amazing way to cover that

mop top you consider to be a haircut.

If you’re really in a tight spot, tossing

some quasi-clean clothing in the dryer

with a damp towel can remove wrinkles

within a few minutes while you rush to

shower and brush your teeth.

Using this method can cut down on

time that would otherwise be wasted

on un-manly things like “ironing” and

“folding clothes.” Who has time for all

that? We’re men, and we’re busy.

Under The HoodInside a Gearhead’s Garage

Nothing can describe the feeling I get

when I see that brown box outside my

garage – it means I’m going to have

a good time modifying my car just in

time for all the shows coming up in the

summer.

For a car enthusiast, summertime

offers the chance to finally show off all

the hard work and time spent in the

garage. Most events occur annually, like

Cruisin’ Ocean City in May, which kicks

off show season.

When I come home, I dive into mak-

ing my car as unique as possible so it

stands out from other Scion tCs. When

I buy a car, I can’t keep it stock because

I love cars and my car should look a

little different, sound different, and go a

little faster.

Modifying a car is mainly about

how much money you want to spend.

Wheels and suspension could cost you

almost $2,000. This is because wheels

are typically over $500 and depending

on which type of suspension modifica-

tion you choose, it could end up costing

somewhere within the $1,000 range.

Some people might want to invest

their money into something practical

like a savings account or remodel-

ing their house. To enthusiasts, the

investment could pay for itself; a man-

ufacturer may sponsor you for using

their parts and helping sell their brand.

Most car shows even offer prizes for

first in show.

The Internet provides the utilities for

someone to learn about the variety of

car scenes out there. Websites I check

daily are canibeat.com and stanceworks.

com. Both provide great images of cars

to gain inspiration as well as updates on

upcoming events.

The next time you are walking to

class and hear the unmistakable sound

of an aftermarket exhaust revving over

the speed bumps and think, “Is that

even necessary?” or “Why are you

wasting money on that car? You’re

never going to get it back,” remember

this is something that almost every car

enthusiast has heard before. The pas-

sion we have towards the cars we own

is something that outsiders may not

fully grasp.

The car culture isn’t just people

standing around talking and looking at

cars; it’s about the bonds forged with

fellow enthusiasts. When you love cars

as much as my friends and family, you

can appreciate the work someone puts

into their car.

You can form bonds with people you

may have met at car show, or just in a

parking lot at school. It’s escapism for

us, to forget the problems around us

and make our cars an extension of our

personality.

TanorexiaWith the warmer weather comes swim

suit season, the beach, and many

hours spent outside in the sun. Many

may start preparing for the summer

sun by going to tanning salons in

hopes of developing a nice base layer

tan and getting a head start on that

bronze glow.

While some may tan occasionally in

preparation for special events, others

develop a serious addiction to tanning.

“Tanorexia” is described as a physi-

cal or psychological need to be tan.

According to WebMD, “Addiction is

why tanorexics can’t simply slather on

self-tanners — just as chain-smokers

can’t be cured with a stick of gum.” It

is an addiction many young men and

women are dealing with. It’s all about

having that “natural glow.”

HCC student Erica Richardson says,

“Tanning is wonderful! It puts me in

a great mood and makes me feel good

about myself because everyone looks

better when they are tan.”

Everyone including Disney Prin-

cesses. Richardson continues, “I was

watching Snow White and the Seven

Dwarfs…and all I could think about

was how much better Snow White

would look if she was tan.”

It’s this mindset that sends people

flocking to tanning salons year-round.

Many people utilize tanning beds

during the fall and winter months, and

it is no surprise to see teenage girls

signing up for tanning before prom in

the spring or vacation in the summer.

Jessica Barley, an airbrush techni-

cian at Aruba Sun and Spa Tanning

Salon, used to tan in the bed almost

every other day. “I have naturally pale

skin, and I started getting so many

compliments once I developed my tan.

I knew the dangers, but it didn’t mat-

ter to me. Every woman in my family

goes tanning.”

Jessica started to tan at age sixteen;

however, in Maryland, you have to be

at least eighteen years old to sign up

for tanning. Any younger and parental

consent is required due to the dam-

aging effects of UVA and UVB on the

skin.

UVA rays penetrate deep into the

skin, causing it to darken and develop

the radiant, sun-kissed glow everyone

desires so much. UVB rays damage

the outer layers and cause sunburn,

followed by cancer.

While many salons claim their

beds have more UVA rays than UVB,

exposure to the former can damage

melanin and has recently been proven

to cause skin cancer as well. Studies

done by the International Agency for

Research on Cancer have shown that

using a tanning bed increases the risk

of skin cancer by 75%.

The World Health Organization

believes teenagers should be banned

from using tanning beds altogether

because the risk of melanoma

increases if you tan before the age of

thirty-five.

If these high skin cancer risks don’t

scare you away, perhaps premature

aging will. According to the Food

and Drug Administration, UVA rays

damage cell production in the skin

and reduce elasticity. In other words,

tanning also causes wrinkles.

However, there are alternative

ways to achieve that sun-kissed skin

you may be craving. You can find

self-tanners at the drugstore, often for

under $10 a bottle, or at beauty stores

like Sephora or Ulta, with higher-end

brand name self-tanners that cost $30

or more.

Exfoliating before getting your

spray tan is key to having a smooth,

even tan. Moisturizing after will help

keep the color from fading as quickly,

or getting blotchy.

It may take some trial and error to

find the tanning lotion that works for

you, but it is safer than spending $80

for a month’s worth of tanning in a

bed and increasing your risk of devel-

oping skin cancer.

Keep this in mind: just tanning for

even a month increases your risk

of cancer and premature aging. Is it

worth it?

When in doubt, embrace your inner

paleness. Didn’t you hear? Vampires

are in.

When the rap group Run DMC released their single “My Adidas” in 1986, fans nationwide immediately sought after the athletic brand. In a 2011 interview with MTV, Darryl McDaniels a.k.a “DMC” recalled witnessing count-less fans rocking Adidas track suits and stringless black and white Superstar sneakers with pushed-out tongue, complete with Cazal eyewear and a Kangol hat-a look made famous by the group.

Music artists have a tremendous

effect on their followers’ fashion

sense. It’s not uncommon to find

a fan that dresses similarly, if not

exactly like the artist he or she

listens to.

When asked about where their

fashion sense comes from, HCC

students favored music as an influ-

ence for their style.

Psychology major Shannon

Houser says, “I’ve noticed a lot of

my fashion sense still comes from

the alternative music that I started

out listening to. A lot of the hair-

styles I used to have when I was

young were very much influenced

by Hayley [Paramore].”

Quentin Jones mainly listens to

metal and hard core. Bring the Hori-

zon and Attack Attack are his artists

of choice. “The way my wardrobe

is, I base off of how they dress,” he

says. Black skinny jeans and Vans

for shoes is a signature look for the

Mass Communications major, as

well as flannels or a band tee.

Taking the theatrical route, Abby

Hevesy says she’s into Broadway

musicals because of the stories that

go along with them. In describing

her personal style, this History ma-

jor says, “The way I dress is a little

bit out there. My musical taste is a

little bit theatrical so I guess it’s sort

of inspired by that. I really like to

dress up and they do a lot of that in

musicals.”

Some students have a wid-

er taste in music. International

Relations major Christian Posko’s

preference ranges from EDM to

rap. Gang Starr, Bob Marley, and

electronic artists like Narrow and

Sub Focus are a few of his favor-

ites. “I wear tight pants kind of like

some of the rockers do and I wear

boots a lot of times, but I don’t

necessarily know if that means that

I go with one [genre] more than

the other.”

Unlike Christian, a single artist

inspires Nursing major Amanda

White. “Lady Gaga influences what

I wear because she wears what-

ever she wants but makes huge

statements with it. I put together

random things that I like and make

a statement the same way. I’m just

not as bold.”

The tendency to match outfits

with particular artists ultimately

draws from our ability to relate to

the music they produce.

Joe Rather, a Business Adminis-

tration major explains, “I think that

many people dress in sync with the

music they listen to not because

the music influences it, but because

they already agree with what the

music expresses and the way they

dress is an extension of that.”

Thrift Store ChicVintage Finds on a Dime

At Edgewood Thrift, this look could cost you as little as $10.

BEAUTY ON A BUDGET

Friday rolls around and that can only mean one thing: the week-

end’s here. You’ve been asked on a date and you want to buy a

great outfit, but don’t necessarily want to break the bank either.

Time to go thrifting!

Edgewood Thrift Store has everything from hats to shoes to

jean jackets, including a very wide range of men’s and women’s

clothing and accessories donated by members of the community.

Joe Gagliardi, the marketing director for Edgewood Thrift

Store, shares that “one of the things [Edgewood Thrift Store]

prides themselves in is that we process, sort, and sell all items

locally.”

Among the local donations was a canary yellow dress that

stood out to Jessie Dry; she fell in love the second she laid her

eyes on it. “I think the dress is perfect! It’s summer-y but formal,”

says Jessie. Pairing this with stylish nude pumps and a cropped

jean jacket makes for a great look for a night out.

The dress only cost $6.25 at Edgewood Thrift Store as opposed

to a department store where a similar dress may cost $29.99. As

for a guy’s outfit, I found a simple, but versatile tan and black

checkered print button down shirt, purple-washed straight-leg

jeans, and black TOMS shoes all for under $10. Had I shopped at a

department store, I would have easily burned through $100.

Edgewood Thrift Store and other local consignment

shops have a daily discount determined by the color of the

shopping tag, as well as a military discount. I could walk out

of one of these stores with $200 worth of merchandise and

only pay $90.

Gagliardi confirms, “No matter what your budget, you

can always find something that’s right for you.”

Pay careful attention during the holidays as well because

Edgewood Thrift Store offers special holiday discounts

which could even land you some free items. Some places,

including A OK Kids Family Consignment, will buy your

used items to re-sell and then split the profits with you.

Since most items have usually been gently used or worn,

I pop the tags and read the cleaning instructions. If I can

throw it in the washer, I do so; but if it requires dry clean-

ing, I run over to the local Walmart and buy a Dreyer’s dry

cleaning kit for only $6.99.

Move over Michael Kors; there’s a new

designer making his mark in the fash-

ion industry, and his name is Bishme

Cromartie. The 23-year-old Baltimore

native was aware of his passion for

fashion at a very young age. From

cutting up socks for doll clothes to

curating his own fashion show at six-

teen, this self-taught designer has been

strutting the catwalk to success.

Aside from raw talent, one of

Cromartie’s strengths is his unmatched

ability to innovate. Unlike most design-

ers who take ideas from things that

have already been done, Cromartie

makes a contentious effort to try some-

thing new with each item of clothing

he creates.

“I actually pull a lot of my inspi-

ration from objects or poems” says

Cromartie.”My inspiration for my

garments never come from other gar-

ments. I love to make sure my designs

are original and completely true to

me.”

Despite the fact that Cromartie does

not use other designers to inspire his

work, he is nevertheless admirable of

Giambatistta Valli, Gareth Pugh, and

Iris Van Herpen. His absolute favorite

designer is Alexander McQueen; he

even has the fashion phenomenon’s

logo tattooed on his arm.

Though Cromartie strives to bring

creativity and freshness to the fashion

world, he admits that he does not dress

himself with the same unique flare.

“I am not much of a fashionisto,” he

chuckles. “I’m pretty much a t-shirt

and jeans guy. As far as my designs, I

would like to say that it’s the complete

opposite of how I dress. My designs are

adventurous, bold, sophisticated and

very architectural.”

The young craftsman certainly

doesn’t let his understated personal

style stop him from shining bright.

Cromartie landed the gig of a life-

time when he dressed R&B superstar

Keyshia Cole for her 2013 concert tour

in which she performed her hit single

“Woman to Woman.”

“I swear that came completely

out of nowhere. I’m friends with her

stylist and never thought to make her

anything. But once the opportunity

was brought to my attention, I figured

it would be a great experience” says

Cromartie. “I cannot lie; backstage at

the concerts was extremely hectic. I

will always cherish that experience.

I had to construct seven garments in

three days. Talk about sleepless nights.”

There’s no doubt that all the hard

work paid off. In addition to the tour,

Cole also wore a custom Bishme dress

in her “I Choose You” music video. It’s

clear that the singer is smitten with

Cromartie’s daring designs, but she’s

not the only one.

Cromartie’s dresses have been

seen on a number of celebrity starlets

including America’s Next Top Model win-

ner and actress, Eva Marcille. She wore

a Cromartie original during the second

season of BET’s hit reality show, Real Husbands of Hollywood.

Malaysia Pargo of VH1’s Basketball Wives LA also rocked a

dress by Bishme at New York Fashion Week 2012. Dan-

ity Kane’s Dawn Richards and The Pussy Cat Doll’s Kaya

Jones have been spotted in Bishme mini dresses as well.

Aside from celebrity exposure, Cromartie’s work has

participated in Emerge! New York Fashion Week, has been

featured in Elle magazine, and on Vogue Italia’s website.

A resume like this could easily make one think that

Bishme has reached his pinnacle. However, the artist says

he’s just getting started. “There’s so much that I want to

complete and do.”

Cromartie adds, “I don’t want to limit myself or my

brand. I would like to say in five years my line will be in

department stores and available all over the world. I can’t

see the future but I feel that there will be great things

coming.”

One cannot help but to be inspired by Cromartie’s

success story. He is living, breathing proof that even small

town kids can make it big. “I’ve learned so much by just

going through it in real life. The best thing I could say [to

an aspiring designer] is to never give up, stay original, stay

inspired and never compare yourself to anyone.”

With his one-of-a-kind designs and humble personality,

Bishme Cromartie is well on his way to the fashion hall

of fame.
