Hopkins Threads highlights diverse student fashion
Reporting about the SGA, not a record of it: The Johns Hopkins News-Letter published this and the SGA did not write it, file it, or approve it. The archive holds it because the article itself uses the phrases “sga” and “student government”.
Summary
- This Johns Hopkins News-Letter article reports on the formation, goals and planned growth of Hopkins Threads, a student fashion club.
- The News-Letter reported that Hopkins Threads formed this spring after receiving Student Government Association approval, with freshman Caroline McCown as its founder.
- McCown told the paper that she wanted the club to build community online and promote fashion as a way to express oneself and increase confidence.
- The article says McCown photographs students in distinctive outfits and posts the images on Facebook and Tumblr with captions about their clothing.
- The paper reported that about 10 students were expected to become involved in the fall, when members would submit photographs and help create weekly albums.
