Coco Chanel

As a sociological art form, fashion has been integral to American culture and society. Using the human body as its canvas, fashion has altered itself to fit with the people and standards of the time.

American men and women looked just as stylish in the thirties as in the twenties, just…

High school is both daunting and menacing. Walking into the school on the first day, most underclassmen are too nervous to look into how teachers act and react to the students. As you go through the year, you start to figure out which teachers like sports, which ones are funny, and which ones do not allow being in the hall without a pass. My first day of seventh grade went as bad as any other middle schooler with the bad luck of going to a junior high attached to the high school. I had walked…

Wong Kar Wai is probably the most innovative and avant-garde director to come out of Hong Kong. As part of the second New Wave of Hong Kong cinema, Wai moved far away from the traditional, Jackie Chan and Shaw Brothers style of films, which focused on action, and explored more substantial themes, icnluding human psyche, politics and the social conditions in Hong Kong.

This is what befell the popular Snapple brand almost as soon as Quaker Oats bought the beverage marketer for $1.7 billion in 1994.
