Caren Friedman/Andria Skaff
Neon. Tye-dye. Bell bottoms.
Vests. Tube skirts. Six inch tall bangs.
Saddle shoes. Birkenstocks. Styles came
and went, but the fashion industry still was
there trying to influence teenagers.
Teens could pick up a magazine and
mimick what the models wore, but often
clothes had nothing to do with the media.
Family, friends, and moods affected hair-
styles, footwear, and the way one dressed.
"The media didn 't influence me. They told
me to dress a certain way, but I dressed how
• I felt," Junior Tera Oyler said.
• Mood had a lot to do with what
: students wore. "If 1 was in a bad mood, I:
• wore black or red, but if I was happy I wore •
: green or purple," said Sophomore Kelly :
• Godwin. For Junior Todd Kirkebak, what •
: he wore affected his mood. "If I dressed up,:
• I felt serious; if I dressed casual, I felt re- •
• 1axed. " •
•
• Shoes were a small accessory that •
•
• said a lot about a person. Junior Jaimie •
• •
• Moresette liked her Eastland boots the most. •
• "They went with everything and still looked •
• •
• good," she said. Tennis shoes were popular •
• because they rarely went out of style. Fresh- •
: ;:nan Stephanie Limbo said she liked her:
• tennis shoes because they were comfortable. •
•
• The way people chose to wear their •
•
•
• hair also reflected their attitude. "I didn't •
: really do my hair because I didn' t care what:
• other people thought," said Senior Patti •
: Domanski. Others spent an hour or so :
• moussing, gelling, curling and hairs praying. •
: All the different styles of clothes,:
• hair, shoes, jewelry and make-up were all •
: ways that students displayed their individu- :
• ality. However, Cosmo, MTV House of•
: Styles, and Christie Brinkly had little to do
• with it. e
