The second segment of looking at different expressions of personal style, features Tilhenn Klapper, a student at Vassar College.
"I don't think I have specific style, and I don't think I identify myself with a specific style", Tilhenn explained on the sweltering afternoon, as we strolled around outside Kenyon Hall.
"I just think that since I was a able to choose my own clothes I wanted to wear things that are different from other people and I learned how to sew when I was in middle school because I didn't want to have to buy the other clothes everyone else was wearing. For me it's not enjoying a specific style, but enjoying wearing things that are different from what I usually see."`
"I think that a garment can say a lot. I believe in the political power of clothes. I created a fashion activist group in Paris, that makes people aware of global issues through the garments without blatantly spelling them out. We take second hand clothing, and creating a line based on a theme like the differentiation of Indonesia and making that issue appear in the clothing, artistically."
