HOTS

ufashion site has been updated with info about HOTS.

hairstyle of the semester (HOTS)

We thrive on change and creativity. One of the best ways to do that is to get a hair cut. Radically change your hairstyle. Change the way people see you and judge you. Disturb their notion of who you are. Change how you see yourself.

One of our activities in ufashion involves letting other members decide your next hair style for one semester. It doesn't matter. In fashion or out. Black or green. It doesn't matter. Just Δ it.

Starting September 23.

Nokia's L'Amour Collection

For some, everything is a potential fashion statement, even a cell phone.

The chic new additions to Nokia's L'Amour Collection are speaking to these people in particular. The phones, which will begin shipping in the fall, should allow consumers just enough time to coordinate them with their winter wardrobes.
