HERE AT FQ, WE BE-LIEVE THAT STYLE IS A REFLECTION OF A PER-SON’S INDIVIDUAL-ITY. PEOPLE DRESS TO EXPRESS THEMSELVES AND THOUGH SOME PEOPLE MAY STYLE THEIR WARDROBES IN SIMILAR WAYS, EACH PERSON HAS HIS OWN EDGE. THE PURPOSE OF OUR SS’12 ISSUE IS NOT TO PROVIDE A TEM-PLATE FOR OUR READ-ERS TO IMITATE BUT TO SERVE AS A SOURCE OF INSPIRATION. DRAW UPON THE FANTAS-TIC COLOR PALETTE OF OUR EDITORIAL BACK-DROP OR OUR STAFF MEMBERS’ COLLEC-TIONS AND HOBBIES. THE GOAL IS TO BE CRE-ATIVE AND STAY TRUE TO ONESELF.

Making jewelry has always been a hobby of mine starting back when I was about ten years old. I have always thought wearing

unique jewelry was a wonderful way of self expression and there is no better way to ensure individuality than to wear the pieces I created myself. The jewelry I make reflects my personal style and aesthetic preferences at the point in time when it was designed

so in a way, the various pieces I have created throughout the years serve as a sort of documentation of my personal growth.

Kolkata, India- my home for the past two July’s of my life lasts imprinted in my memory. Pictured here are treasures gifted and

bought during my time there.

I have traveled quite a bit throughout my life,

and originally, these souvenir spoons served

as reminders of the memories I had created

in the multitude of destinations I had the

privilege of ventur-ing to. Eventually, my collection grew as my

friends and family brought me spoons

from places they had traveled to. So now I

suppose my collec-tion indicates not only places I have been, but

also places I one day hope to travel to.

The Vans Project is something I started back in 2008 when

I was at BFD and MGMT happened to be signing stuff

during a time when I had some down time.

Ever since I’ve worn vans when I go to

shows and get them signed by the artist.

I am up to 8 pairs full of signatures, the

most recent having Justin Vernon of

Bon Iver and british “post-dubstep” artist James Blake sign my

shoes.

abigail chuWhen someone tells

me of a good restaurant they’ve been to, it stays in my head, and I have

to experience it for myself. It’s one of my

favorite things to do--to eat somewhere I’ve

never been. I even have a food list saved onto my computer so that

I could eventually get to all of them. With all

the places I’ve gone, I’ve accumulated quite a lot of business cards. They

float around all over my room, in my purses,

and even in my pant pockets.

These are just a few pieces from my giant ticket stub collection. I usually keep every single ticket stub including those from movie

showings to various excursions, and here are just several that stand out.

I recently did a series of hand portraits for a drawing class because I think hands are so expressive and unique. I now have a collection of hand drawings that I made of all of my friends and family. My collection of hand drawings will keep growing as new

people come into my life.

I’ve always loved all types of bows, the shape, color, fabric, and how they can add that extra spice to any outfit. I always have

extra fabric lying around so bows are the perfect way to use that up as well as to create the perfect accessory.

A perfect afternoon calls for laying out on warm, soft sands, basking in the sun. These jars of sand are souvenirs from dif-

ferent beaches around the world that my family has traveled to. These beaches represented in the jars are especially famous for

their white, pristine sands.
