The growing fashion community on SMU’s campus is in for a treat: the Hilltop’s first fashion magazine, SMU Look, will be on newsstands around campus Thursday.

Students can grab a copy of the first issue at the flagpole from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Magazine staff members will be handing out copies of the inaugural issue.

Editor-in-chief India Pougher said she’s excited for the launch.

“This issue includes profiles on alumni, beautiful fashion features, and more,” Pougher said. “Students might also find photos of themselves in our street style section!”

In recent years, SMU-TV has produced a fashion program, The Look, which includes a Style Squad, profiles of stylish SMU students and much more. However, this is the first fashion magazine published by Student Media Company, which is cooperating with fashion journalism classes in the Division of Journalism.

“I am extremely impressed by what our students have pulled off this semester,” said Camille Kraeplin, associate professor in the Division of Journalism and Fashion Media.

“Essentially, they have conceived a fashion magazine — from the stories and fashion photo layouts to the design and fonts,” Kraeplin said. “They even helped sell ads. All in three months. Despite that timetable, the results are remarkable and extremely professional. I’m excited to see the final product.”

The staff is very excited to show the SMU community what they have been working on. Don’t forget to stop by the flagpole on Thursday to get your copy!
