AMERICAN ROYALTY
The epitome of the American dream, decked from head to toe in red, white, and blue, the Kennedy family is the epitome of American class wealth and political power.
Ambassadors, Presidents, and fashion icons keep this more relevant than even the most influential political families. This family made a name for themselves from humble Irish beginnings by taking their Hollywood glamor to the political world. In 1938, Joseph Kennedy left the world for Hollywood producing to serve our nation as ambassador to the United Kingdom. He and his family embodied the grace, elegance, and, most importantly, glamor of the United States, immediately enthralling all those who met them
The Kennedys represented America on the rise, and everyone had the opportunity to get ahead and make a name for themselves that would last a lifetime. They were nothing short of the poster family for how you can do anything in the States.
1960s style icon and the original political it girl, Jaqueline Kennedy Onassis, was a New York socialite who became the epitome of what it meant to be a classic American woman. She was an accomplished rider, well-educated, and captivating, making her the perfect First Lady.
She married John F. Kennedy in 1953, was a writer for the Washington Times-Herald Newspaper, and was about to be the senator of Massachusetts A few years later, she became First Lady of the United States at 31, prepped and ready for a life of shaking hands and attending state dinners. Her elegant and understated style accompanied a gracious passion for the arts. She focused on making the white house a place for the “Great American Arts,” highlighting the homegrown artistic talent instead of focusing on European design.
"Once in a great while, an individual will capture the imagination of people worldwide You have done this, and what is more important, through your graciousness and tact, you have transformed this rare accomplishment into a vital asset to this nation."
Her style was modeled after that of Audry Hepburn, another American sweetheart. The combination of old Hollywood glamor and infectious personal style made her the most influential American woman in 1960s fashion.
She stuck to the basics, everything tailored just right Her uniform was classically tailored suits, lady-like dresses, and intense, solid colors Pinks, yellows, reds, and ivory she always knew what colors looked best on her to highlight her features
She was an international success with her unique and refined wardrobe. She often wore sleeveless dresses, wrist-length gloves, and a simple strand of pearls for day-to-day wear. Around the White House, she was more laid-back, wearing highwaisted trousers and a trim blouse or turtleneck. Her iconic black oversized sunglasses became a staple for the decade, playing off her dark hair and bright-colored outfits.
Some of her more famous fashion moments are her evening wear She stuck to single-colored dresses with bateau necklines or sheath off-theshoulder gowns A pair of white opera gloves always accompanied her
Her arguably most iconic outfit is also her saddest. A watermelon pink suit paired with her trademark pillbox hat, worn on that fateful day in Dallas, TX. It was a replica of a Chanel suit made with Chanel fabric but made by American hands.
AMERICAN ROYALTY
Jackie lived in the limelight, became a political icon, and is today known as fashionable and influential.
It's no coincidence that this family attracts the most fashionable people Taking over the 90s, Carolyn Basset Kennedy inspired the new age of minimalist style “Once Upon a Time: The Captivating Life of Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy,” A book by Elizabeth Beller, recounts a tell-all of the 90s style icon Carolyn Basset Kennedy, the next generation of chic and classic. She was the
publicist for the iconic Calvin Klein; she had her foot on every trend and event. Kennedy joined the political dynasty in 1996 when she married John F. Kennedy Jr., the white house born attorney.
Cultured Elegance is the term coined to describe her style. She pioneered minimal and clean-cut elegance and is known for her classic looks and simple yet elevated style She never did too much; she was always natural and chic That is not to say she didn’t change her appearance
Kennedy had a knack for what was in and what was out. After the 1980s, she did away with her natural blonde hair and opted for a more bright and platinum blonde. She went to the salon often to avoid grown-out roots, making her hair appear naturally blonde.
Her accessories stayed simple and stayed classic. Her classic black Prada bag was her everyday staple, not to say she didn’t dabble in the vast world of handbags with a Birkin or two However, they were always simple and mostly black
Tortoiseshell headbands, oval-frame glasses, and tousled hair were staples of her everyday look. Kennedy often wore thin-strapped minimal heels with silk slip dresses and an array of beige and black clothing in every shape and fabric possible She wore a classic red lip with strappy dresses, and her hair pulled back perfectly for formal occasions
With Kennedy’s new age on the political rise, one wonders who will be the next style icon of this great political family and whether they will succumb to yet another case of the Kennedy Curse.

LOVE ALL AMERICA’S FASHION AFFAIR WITH TENNIS
By: Molly Waters

LOVE ALL
The fashion revolution in which the 19th century English sport becomes overruled by a burgeoning nation, God Bless America.
The modern fashion zeitgeist is littered with tennis’ influence and iconography, even movies and popculture trends capitalize on the sport’s clean lines and historic traditions. The current prominence of ‘tennis core’ in large part thanks to the American obsession with tennis culture and its inherent influence over cultural movements. Tennis is loved the world round, but, despite not being the originator, America has adopted Tennis’ wardrobe as its own and American icons are driving its fashion evolution
not just as a powerhouse athlete, but also as a star that got audiences excited to watch what players wear
Evert recalls from that day, “the green court, the white lines, the dripping sweat of competition, and MY diamond bracelet.”
ced as Serena Williams took her final spin in Arthur Ashe stadium in August of 2022. Since signing with Nike in 2003, Serena made the tennis courts her runway with none so special as her appearances on the Open’s center court. It’s here she has sported custom Nike,Virgil Abloh designs, and Swarovski crystals. Serena is more than just a player who pushed the envelpe for tennis, she is in her own right a fashion icon Many fashion moments of hers
The US Open, America’s grand slam tournament, is known to be a stage where players compete in outfits that create lasting impact Hundreds of diamonds dawill be remembered throughout the years: the Cameroon kit, the jean skirt, the French Open catsuit. Through her match attire she conveyed the passion and personality she brought to the sport. Serena blazed a trail
Five decades prior to Serena’s retirement, perhaps the singular most significant fashion event in tennis also occurred at the US Open. Christine Evert was a dominant American player and now legend, who also happened to have a penchant for diamonds. Renowned as the “Ice Maiden” for her calm, collected exterior on court, Evert was a fearsome opponent to all who played her. Always, she wore diamond jewlery for matches, the crowning jewels to her ‘icy’ persona During a soon to be fateful match in 1978, Evert showed an uncharacteristic moment of alarm as play was halted so everyone could look for the bracelet that had flung off her wrist. Publications covering the incident coined her troublesome accessory as a “tennis bracelet.” From then on the name stuck, and the thin, diamond-lined style became known as the tennis bracelet; Forevermore, the jewelry industry had been changed
The high involvement of fashion within the sport is no coincidence, as it is actually intertwined with the sport’s creation Females were first allowed to play racquet games with the introduction of Lawn Tennis in 1870, which allowed women to play whilst still dressed in 19th century garb. Tennis then traveled to America in 1887, where it caught like fire, reaching all corners of the country before the 1890s. The opportunity to wear a fashionable dress on a lawn in front of
LOVE ALL
spectators was an alluring quality that enticed manyto join in the lawn tennis fad However, the original exercise costumes were quite constricting
As When the Girls Came Out to Play: The Birth of American Sportswear puts it, “Never mind: the women were not expected to actually run for the ball.”
It took many years of female players, like May Sutton, pushing boundaries before female players could dress in any semblance of athletic wear Sixteen year old Sutton dared to defy the traditional dress code in 1905 by competing with a shorter than acceptable hemline at the prestigious Wimbledon club. The result: she won and became the first American ever to achieve a singles title at Wimbledon. Where we first see tennis fashion take on the form that it is known for today is in the 1930s. At this point, private athletic costumes merge with public sports uniforms, and create the silhouette of today’s tennis dresses that are so well loved It’s a true testament to the sport’s tradition and fashion taste that even now powerful women continue to play in skirts
One of the greatest attributes of tennis is that it's loved and recognized worldwide as a fashionable sport. Despite its international acclaim, however, there’s an undeniable connection between the American tennis community and fashion makers. Our young country has made its mark on the sport and will continue singing tennis’ praises as it drives the sport into future fashion endeavors

Sweater $398 00
JCrew Linen Suit
Short $62 50
Vintage Frye Riding Boots
Said to be the designer to never have an original idea, Ralph Lauren’s looks differ from the original ways of fashion, balancing tradition, status and novelty.
Humble Beginnings
Born into a Jewish immigrant family, raised in the Bronx with a new name on the way, Ralph Lifshitz was full of American aspirations. The youngest of four and dressed in hand-me-downs, he wanted to create a brand that represented
a souvenir of a life you would want to be a part of His craving to belong was very strong, but so was his desire for authenticity. And by 1997, this one-manbrand was the best selling designer in the world.
RALPH LAUREN
Tying the Knot!
Ralph understands that what we wear is an expression of who we are. Everyone makes statements, and statements are composed of pieces. He believed presentation is upon anyone’s first impression of you and the mystery you exude is vital to it. With an innate sense of people and eye for detail, he designs clothes for the people he sees
Lauren’s first step into the industry took place in New York department stores with a line of men’s ties. His pursuit of perfection suits the suits of the wealthy white collar man.
Ivy League Look
Ralph enjoyed dipping into the fictionalized myths of the American psyche, like the westerner. He gathered inspiration from cowboys like John Wayne, as he admired the romantic hero trope
You see Ralph’s message in the window - to accessorize the sports car drivers with a RL credit card in one hand and a cigar in the other. Ralph’s mannequins told a story and took u places - probably to a Hampton soiree He became the status symbol of college prep, with soft tailoring smart casual shirts to chinos. Classic and timeless, he understood that context and timelines matter.

RALPH LAUREN
“Clothes that look like costumes that look like clothes.”
Designing the costumes for the 1974 Great Gatsby film, Ralph Lauren became the epitome of prep.
Wealthy people also partake in activities such as sports cups.
Responsible for dressing the USA Olimpyians, First Ladies and the Royal Family, he was representing only the best. Some of his collections were under British Aristocrat influences and the Post-Cold War 90’s.
For example, take The Officer and The Gentleman collection: utility fabrics, omniture, combat boots.
Selling Sporty!
Ralph’s goal was to produce low market styles with an upmarket price tag. Even his logo, the Polo, was synonymous with his vision- those players are rare and elite.
Reducing Polo’s work to the Polo shirt is nothing short of naive, as it simply represents the commercial side.
Unlike an inventor like Balenciaga or a Mugler, Ralph Lauren reinvents He acts as a stylist to the patrons of patriots. With old world styles for new money, Americans could be nostalgic to a past they never had.

FASHIONABLE FANS AND CURATED VINTAGE NFL MEMORABILIA
By: Kylie Cladwell
Nostalgia sells is it because of its rarity, novelty, or is it just a retro way to support your favorite teams?
All vintage pieces, especially those that have always represented the same team, player, or game, have a new meaning of timeless All vintage pieces in acceptable condition are among the most coveted styles among collectors, but a new game comes into play with jerseys, NFL/MLB/NBA crewnecks, and fan memorabilia. It's prideful and political.
Fans have always been in fashion. Most crewnecks we still see have been sourced around the 1980’s and 90’s. Heirs of bleacher couture, like Kendall Jenner and Drake, have worn football merchandise, presumably for aesthetic reasons There are many reasons some
may choose to wear their team on their sleeve; you don't need to be a Superbowl aficionado to sport a cute crew. The same passion we see in fans is still there, on and off the bleachers This is because what we wear in every regard is a statement, and when sporting your home team, you are
representing something much more significant than fashion. There are few duplicates of this clothing, making every item just as nostalgic as the last Each article of clothing you choose is intentional When choosing to represent an athletic team, you are making a conscious decision to outwardly express your support for whoever it may be. Announcing this to the public eye is bold and magnetic. Finding authentic vintage that embodies your sportsmanship provides a new look for you and your wardrobe, unlike retail clothing.
We can all take for granted accessorizing a conversation starter Buying second-hand from resellers or places like Depop is not only sustainable but can also be a direct outlet for some of the most embellished collectors.

In the 1990s, it was not common for Americans to lead the artistic direction of luxury fashion houses, but Tom Ford, a visionary with a multitude of
artistic backgrounds, returned Gucci to the multi-million dollar fashion house that it previously was.
According to The Council of Fashion Designers of America’s website, Ford was born in Austin, Texas, and grew up in Santa Fe, New Mexico. For college, he moved to New York City, where he switched majors, universities, and creative programs within the city. He graduated with a degree in
ELLE magazine considers Tom Ford’s early designs as the “unmistakable embodiment” of the 90s. architecture from Parsons School of Design, and in 1990, he moved to Italy to work with Gucci as their Womenswear Designer By 1994, Ford climbed his way up to Creative Director and managed the company’s image, brand, and campaigns.
Sleek, form fitting ensembles, bold colors, and see-through fabrics were hot on the runway during Ford’s reign.

“Doing a Gucci”: Ford’s Glamorous Transformation
AN AMERICAN ARTIST ACROSS THE POND
Tom Ford’s instrumental designs and leadership changed Gucci’s image from overlooked, to obsessed. Sales skyrocketed, and A-list celebrities and models worked with Gucci, including Kate Moss, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Madonna.
“Doing a Gucci”, a term coined by fashion insiders in the mid 90s, refers to Ford’s achievements of pulling the fashion house out of bankruptcy and into success (Tokatli). This sharp turnaround from Gucci’s inmemorable presence in the 80s and early 90s gave Ford the respect and fame to reach other professional goals like working with Yves Saint Laurent, and starting his own fashion brand in 2005. Ford describes himself
a perfectionist who can always achieve more His professional career reflects project-based perfection, as his pieces from Gucci are timeless yet trendy, and still have great appeal today.

ANTHEMthe of
There is something so deeply American about a summer soundtracked to Lana Del Rey.
It could be the melancholy feeling of listening to “Summertime Sadness” on a hot July evening. Or, perhaps, it’s the image her lyrics often create in the minds of her listeners: a perception of The American Dream, bordering between a feeling of strong nationalism and criticism for the nation. Either way, her music evokes a feeling of nostalgia that her fans must chase to keep alive. Lana Del Rey, the stage persona of Lizzy Grant, is the image of a classic Americana summer.
American symbolism and imagery is present throughout the eras of Grant’s music, beginning with her debut major-label studio album “Born to Die.”
In the music video for “National Anthem,” a track from the album, Grant portrays 1950s actress Marilyn Monroe singing to none other than former president John F Kennedy, portrayed by A$AP Rocky The video is based on the assassination of Kennedy and the alleged affair between him and Monroe, as Grant also portrays former first lady Jackie Kennedy. The video is filmed in a style common in the 1960s, with a framed border around each shot.
Grant keeps her American symbolism alive in various forms using not only the White House as inspiration but also iconic

THE LATEST WITH LK
THE WEDGE SNEAKER?
A shocking but not unwelcomed return of the infamous Isabel Marant wedge sneaker. This trend died back in 2014 but is back and better than ever. Marant updated the style to the new and improved Balskee shoe, with a sleeker and more modern look. You might be reading this and thinking I’m crazy but mark my words its going to be the next big thing.
JULY
HALTER TOPS
Hurry and buy your halter tops fast because they will be all the rage late summer/ early fall. A nice high neck and open back pairs well with a staple jean mini skirt and a slick ponytail. No longer the “turtleneck” halter tops we know from 2016, these have a sleeker more refined look while still showing a little skin.
ODE TO THE OFFICE
You’ve seen it the blazers, the sleek lines, the buttons. Office wear that isn’t quite appropriate for the office. This trend has been all the rage this summer highlighting good tailoring and thick fabrics. Dare I say 2010 is back?
