Owen Berg is a junior journalism and interactive media studies student, with a minor in fashion. He is the Student’s design editor, (remotely) handling the print layouts and graphic design of the newspaper’s operation. He has been involved with the newspaper since his first week at Miami. While his first love was the design desk, Owen has written for the news, culture and opinion sections, and most recently became the editor of the style section, covering all things fashion at Miami. He is also an Oxford native and has been a member at the Miami Rec Center since he was 4 years old. When he’s not making layouts for next week’s paper, Owen can be found shopping for vintage clothes on eBay, working on his kickflip (not there yet) or eating Korean food with his mom.
The editorial is a rare glimpse at how the fashion industry is changing behind the scenes. Wales Bonner, John Rogers and Mitchell are the creative minds who are diversifying fashion, in the same way that Ocasio-Cortez, a first generation Latinx-American, has come to represent a more inclusive vision of American politics.
Oxford, Ohio is a pub food paradise. But, with no disrespect to these fine dining establishments, I’m kinda over it. I’m here to argue the best food in Oxford is its Asian food. Our little town in southwest Ohio is a gold mine for flavors from Japan to India to China.

A mask creates a cozy little nook to hide from everyone else, just a bit. Little insecurities like this get to be kept secret, just between you and your mask.
Life under quarantine has done treacherous things to our clothing rotations. Putting together an outfit that I couldn’t go to bed in just seems wrong to me right now, and even thinking about putting on a pair of jeans feels physically repulsive.
After a brief introduction, four dogs ran out onstage to blaring rock music, taking their places on four wooden crates in a line upstage. Dog-loving families had packed the seats of Hall Auditorium to see Mutts Gone Nuts, a traveling comedy dog show, at 7:30 p.m. last Friday. Founder Scott Houghton entered in a red velvet blazer, introducing the dogs to the audience. Their lead trainer, Samantha Valle, stood behind the mutts, directing the tricks and sneaking them treats from her pocket.
The SneakGeekz are a small, close-knit community of Miami’s most-intense sneaker and streetwear obsessives. They know their shoes inside and out. And, coincidentally, they know the universe of Kanye West to the same degree.
Small Business Saturday, which falls between Black Friday and Cyber Monday, the two largest shopping holidays in the U.S., aims to encourage shoppers to buy from locally-owned stores instead of large retailers and e-commerce websites.
How can Miami students make more sustainable shopping decisions?
How do we remain eco-conscious in our shopping habits for more than one rotation of the fashion cycle?
