Sometimes joy is a radical act.
“When I was in middle school, I wore bright, patterned pants that I called my ‘confidence pants,’” said Emma Rubinson, a senior in fashion design in the Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts at Washington University in St. Louis. “They made me feel bold, expressive, and a little uncomfortable. Facing my fear of judgment helped me gain confidence in myself, and inspired me to always wear my heart on my sleeve.”
At 4 p.m. Saturday, May 15, Rubinson and six classmates will present their work as part of the Sam Fox School’s 92nd Annual Fashion Design Show. Filled with sleek silhouettes, saturated palettes and crazy-quilt textures, the show titled “The Collective” is a full-throated rejection of pandemic-era dourness.

NORTHBROOK, IL Calling it a rally in support of inclusion, uncensored discussion and against intolerance, a group of Glenbrook High School District 225 students organized a rally Tuesday behind Northbrook Village Hall ahead of next week s Consolidated Election. Education shapes those in our democracy, and fighting for education at my school that accepts all members of our community and values preparing students to participate in our democracy will lead us to liberation, and therefore, is of the utmost importance, said Sophia Marasco, GBN senior and a rally organizer.
