Summit High School Gets Schooled

So.. I write for my school newspaper, and this past issue for Feb. I couldn't think of an article to write. Normally we have a column called "Trendspotter" about the latest fashions and what not. Well this issue I decided to take a chance at Trendspotter and do it my way. You can't read exactly what the article says from the picture, so I took the liberty of rewriting it for you guys. 

"With Fashion Week in full motion, I’m pretty sure everyone is buzzing about all the elite designers such as Diane Von Furstenburg, Carolina Herrera, and 3.1 Phillip Lim, who have become household names. Unfortunately, the spotlight is never focused on underground urban clothing lines. There are plenty of amazing lines that appear on the streets, as well as on television, that people see but never know much about. Brands like Married to the MOB, ALIFE, and Supreme are seen everywhere, but rarely acknowledged. Leah McSweeney, an urban women’s clothing designer and the creator of Married to the MOB, has tried her best to evolve from just some everyday clothing line into a distinguished brand. She went from selling t-shirts out of her New York apartment to selling her clothes in the Bloomingdales of Paris, Collette. Leah has taken the phrase “girl power” and created an entirely new meaning. Making shirts with witty phrases such as “Men Are the New Women,” or “Other B----es Just Front,” gives the brand an attitude of its own and makes it stand out from the rest. Who would have known that skateboarding could have influenced the fashion industry? The skate brand Supreme has been around for a while, opening its first Lafayette store in Soho, in 1994. Although a skate brand, its clothing has caught the eye of many different people varying from skaters, to hip-hop heads, to even punks. Supreme has worked with plenty of noted designers, artists, and photographers, and the success of the label is evident with the opening of six new stores. These stores are located in prominent cities such as Tokyo and Los Angeles. So this Fashion Week try to look around beyond Bryant Park. Look for the underground designers that don’t receive as much recognition as they deserve. It's time to start giving credit where credit is due."
