  • Taylor’s Legacy: Writer Melissa Cronin-Brown shares why the Swift Eras Tour is truly epic.

  • Blast From the Past: Fashion Repeats Itself

    Out with the old and in with the new, but what if the new is actually old? History has a way of repeating itself, especially in the fashion industry. Fashion experts use the 20-year rule to predict when trends will reappear next. Currently, the early 2000s style, also known as Y2K, has made an explosive return. Although the decade consisted of gaudy and ostentatious trends, the fun and carefree style has been readopted by Gen Z. The return of Y2K first came back last year on TikTok and has now returned to runways as well. All things considered, different styles lead back to a particular era that made them popular.
