The past two years School of Design and Human Environment<\/a> instructor Keith Nishida has tried to use his DHE 299 summer class to push the boundaries a bit on what students expect from a summer class.<\/p>\n

This year that meant his Fashion Styling class \u2014 eight students meeting four days a week for three weeks \u2014 produced a 40-page fashion magazine titled \u201cDAM Chic,\u201d traveling from Corvallis to Portland to speak with OSU alumni working in the apparel industry.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey went above and beyond expectations,\u201d Nishida said of his students. \u201cI think they took it upon themselves to polish and put their own personal stamp on it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Participating in the class were students\u00a0Walter Blice,\u00a0Olivia Echols,\u00a0Ariana Giesbrecht,\u00a0Erin Hatley,\u00a0Katie Keister,\u00a0Chandra Magnuson,\u00a0Melisa Magnuson and\u00a0Bailey Phillpott.<\/p>\n

The class started as Nishida\u2019s attempt to show students there is more to fashion styling than just the celebrity styling most people are familiar with.<\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of people know celebrity styling exists but they don\u2019t know anything beyond that,\u201d he said. \u201cThe point of this course was to introduce students to the fact that styling isn\u2019t exclusive to celebrity styling.\u201d<\/p>\n

From there, Nishida hoped to show how students could combine that\u00a0creativity and commerce through the form of commercial styling in a\u00a0fashion magazine.<\/p>\n

The magazine gave students an opportunity to experiment and build different skill sets related to SDHE disciplines – such as fashion writing, photography, design, marketing and promotion- all into one comprehensive project.<\/p>\n

Students wrote, photographed and even served as models for the inaugural issue, with many shots done in and around Oregon State and Corvallis. Students also did interviews with alumni Kathleen McNally of Columbia Sportswear and Jillian Rabe<\/a>, an alumna who operates her own production haus in the Pearl District.<\/p>\n

The final product is now available online at facebook.com\/damchicmagazine<\/a>. Launched on Sept. 6, the final day of the course, the Facebook page received more than 100 likes in its first 24 hours, Nishida said.<\/p>\n

So far there has been interest from students to make DAM Chic a club and continue publishing in the future, though nothing is yet in place. No matter where the process goes from here, Nishida said he was impressed by the commitment the class showed to the project.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m so proud of my students, they put so much love into it,\u201d he said. \u201cIf this is to have another issue, I\u2019d like to see more local businesses, local boutiques and non-fashion business in Corvallis [get involved with the magazine]. It\u2019d be a testament to how important OSU is for the Corvallis community, and Corvallis to OSU.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
