March’s Front Square Fashion In an age where millennials, bloggers and celebrities alike follow the catwalks for the latest trends, be the person who wears what they want and own it.

In an age where millennials, bloggers and celebrities alike follow the catwalks for the latest trends, be the person who wears what they want and own it. Senior Freshman English and Maths TSM student Conor Fallon embodies this attitude in this issue’s edition of Front Square Fashion. Conor wears a timeless monochromatic look. As a fan of the “casual dad attire”, he pairs slim fit black denim jeans with a button down wool coat. The runways and fashion weeks inspire trends, enabling commercial stores to capitalise from fast fashion. Conor strongly disapproves this culture, as by “stealing his dad’s coat” he routinely practices sustainable fashion, which is beneficial to the environment, but also effective in boycotting commercial stores where workers are treated unfairly, with unsafe working conditions and unjust wages. He pairs his monochrome look with a pair of contrasting tan brogues which double as fashionable and practical — keeping his feet warm and dry amid the ‘Beast from the East’. Recommended by his optician for his sensitive blue eyes, Conor wears his prescription glasses as the low-lying glare from the sun in winter is treacherous. He aspires to be like his style icon, Robert De Niro in Taxi Driver, as he carries an air of sanity which Conor finds incredibly enviable.
