Dina Scoppettone had just returned from shooting an assignment overseas when I called her in a tizzy. “I’m in a bad way, Scoppettone!” I whined. “ I need style, and I need it now!” She came to the rescue, as she has so many times for so many editors, this time with a small but sassy collection of stripes. Vibrating optical-illusion stripes by Ralph Lauren, classic elegant stripes in the vintage manner, nautical fishermen’s stripes by Quiksilver (and speaking of nauticalia, an O’Neill wetsuit done hotpants-style). While the spring catwalks are brimming with pastels and florals, we’re here to remind readers that it’s still OK to demand to be noticed.
To get the full effect, pick up a copy of Santa Cruz Weekly at one of hundreds of locations around the Monterey Bay.
