Stefano Gabbana – the taller, darker, more handsome half of the mega-superstar fashion duo Dolce & Gabbana – said once that fashion is “all a game, with new rules every season.” That’s why when I give fashion advice I normally advocate the purchase of more classic staples instead of trendy new pieces that will go out of fashion within four month’s time.
But that’s not the case this Wednesday with The Daily Gamecock’s first ever fashion extravaganza: “The Ides of March.” We worked hard to tell the story of the life and death of Julius Caesar with gorgeous girls and pretty dresses, while at the same time creating a feasible fashion preview for the Carolina Cup. The concept is a little high fashion (and more than a little complicated), but we figured that since this is the first time we’ve ever done something like this, we should probably go big or go home.
This special section is the result of weeks of preparation, last minute bare knuckle polishing, several thousands of dollars worth of advertising sold, and the efforts of six beautiful women who nearly froze during the shoot (because of weather not nerves). But we made it happen.
All of that work shouldn’t go to waste, so please don’t throw away the tab as soon as you pick up the paper in the morning. At least look at the cover. The cover is amazing.
So I would like to take this opportunity to say thanks, to all the people who made this dream of mine a reality, and to all the people who take the time to look at all the pretty pictures.
