The creation of a student magazine rarely reflects a single voice. For Armour, one of WashU’s student-run fashion and culture publications, that multiplicity is the point. Built over the course of nine months, each issue exhibits not just the finished product but a process of collaboration, experimentation, and trust.

Mudd Field transformed into a vibrant showcase of student art and creativity as ArtMart took over the space with rows of tents, racks of clothes, and tables stacked with handmade jewelry and prints. Music drifted across the field while students browsed, shopped, and chatted with vendors. One artist even sketched live portraits for passersby, adding to the fair’s lively atmosphere. Each table offered something unique, but all carried the same creative energy that has come to define ArtMart.

“These are amazing!” a customer called out to senior Christina Oates as they browsed her booth. A couple booths away, junior Macy Iyer was selling her ceramics so fast that she only had one piece left by the end of the event. Further down, a customer eagerly waited to buy a crochet top from junior Peyton Moore’s booth. “It’s kind of empowering to see how other people respond to what you’ve created,” Oates said. 

With the days becoming colder and finals looming in the near future, I had been thinking about how nice it would be to bury myself into a traditional and cozy craft. Luckily, String Theory was way ahead of me. In their recent “Learn to Stitch” event, they showcased the merits of needlecraft as both a sustainable activity and something just plain fun.

Armour has evolved quite a bit in the last six years. Read about their total rebranding.

Student Union Treasury voted in favor of funding a printed version of an online campus fashion magazine, a social justice awareness event and a trip to a national chess championship. The group voted at its weekly meeting Tuesday to grant Armour Magazine $4000, which will enable it to print its student-based fashion magazine that was once available only online.

It’s certainly not as thick as a Vogue or an Elle, but it doesn’t need to be. A very admirable endeavor, Armour, a new fashion magazine started by three Sam Fox School students, Jacob Lenard, Chantal Strasburger and Felicia Podberesky, launched last week in an effort to bring fashion and style to the Wash. U. community.
