Tailor Made is a regular column documenting different looks at UC Santa Cruz by Alex Zamora, a second-year art major and aspiring fashion photographer.
These students caught my eye this week with their mixed patterns and somewhat “grungy” look. Both of them are inspired by popular public figures and it’s not hard to see that their decisions to “cut and copy” certain ideas from these influences has paid off handsomely.

CHP: How would you describe your style? What are your influences?
