Plaid and leather trickle down from the runways of Dolce & Gabbana and Marc Jacobs to the streets. The timeless material and rejuvenated patterns made a huge comeback in high-end fashion designers' fall 2008 collections. Eight SF State students take the season's biggest fads into their own hands and back to school — mixing high-fashion with personal style, translating the season's hottest trends into an affordable, personalized statement. From Anestis Seferiadis’ leather jacket traveling the world, to Ivy Chan’s plaid shirt that can fill a day with happiness, these students talk about life, fashion trends and "being as fly as possible."
