Street Style: At the MFA Show
The SAIC community came together in its finest attire to celebrate the culminating work of graduate students at the MFA Show. Here are our editors’ picks of some of the best street style from the night of April 27 at the Sullivan Galleries.
Nanna Rosenfeldt-Olsen (MFA 2018)
Why this outfit?
I used to be a stylist, and when famous people didn’t want their outfits, I got it.
Favorite part?
It looks like a painting.
What is your personal style?
Fun.
Emilio Rojas (MFA 2017)
Why this outfit?
I felt tired, so I think when you’re tired you should wear bright colors. It motivates you throughout the day.
Favorite part?
The scarf. I found it in an abandoned motorcycle factory in a desk in Bologna, Italy.
What is your personal style?
I do monochromatic daily mood arrangements.
Mary Roll (MFA 2018)
Why this outfit?
I wanted to match my work in a professional way, stand out from my colleagues, and just have fun.
Favorite part?
The shoes. They have a horseshoe buckle, which is a good luck sign.
What is your personal style?
A mix of ‘60s and ‘70s vintage. My general rule, which I broke this evening, is: If I can’t skate in it, I won’t wear it.
