For decades, the Seven Sisters colleges have become synonymous with an All-American, preppy aesthetic. A new book takes a look at the birth of this style.
For decades, the style of the Seven Sisters colleges (Barnard, Vassar, Bryn Mawr, Smith, Mount Holyoke, Radcliffe, and Wellesley) has become synonymous with an All-American, preppy aesthetic. A new book, Seven Sisters Style (April 2014, Rizzoli), catalogues the changing collegiate fashion at these women's schools, highlighting the more menswear-inspired letterman jackets, loose Bermuda shorts, and denim jeans that, in the 1960s and 1970s, were considered ground-breaking sartorial selections for women.
