“I was surprised at how much fun they had with it,” says Amy. “Being in the Brown/RISD area I found guys with really creative style who gave really funny answers when we asked them about their ‘fashion philosophy.’ What was most different were their shoes, which I found to be the one item that really stood out in every outfit.”
