Student Spotlight: Micaela Dixon

U of T's reputation for a tyrannical-like domination work-wise can be substantiated by every student's opinion on their work load, and how many hours they spend in the library each day. As a result of this, its not uncommon to succumb to the allure of comfort. However, there are some students who choose to maintain their individuality, and don't let their stressful academic lives prevent them from expressing themselves sartorially. At UFashion, we hope to encourage students to do this all the time, and thus, we've decided to highlight those on campus who continuously impress us with how they express themselves through their senses of style, no matter how comfortable sweatpants may be. 

Danny Zuko and Perceptions of Coolness

There was this really cool French kid once – outfitted in Maison Kitsuné and round tortoise shell glasses and tall with a cute accent. We had lunch together a few times at his cafeteria and sat next to each other in class. Romantic freshman dates. He was fun to text, mostly about class and cracking jokes about first year Rotman kids, but whenever we were face to face he’d go silent. I felt like I was interrogating him just trying to hold a conversation. Finally, I gave up, and started sitting in the front of the class where I could pay better attention. I decided he was too cool for me anyway.
