Welcome back fashionistas!
Got Style? is all about giving you the tools and tips you
need to be the most fashionable you on the Ann Arbor Campus. The University of
Michigan provides so many resources as well as hosting many lectures and events,
it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Navigating the ground of this University’s opportunities
can seem like a daunting task, but fortunate enough I’m here to help! I decided
to provide you with a few upcoming functions and student publications right
here on campus to help fill your craze and get you exposed to the world of
fashion (Babin & Harris, 52). So get ready to give your full attention (Babin
& Harris, 53), because you won’t want to miss a thing!

NOiR Runway
NOiR Runway is a runway-based community service organization
at the University of Michigan. NOiR brings not only fashion and community
service at the forefront of their goals, but also an inclusive way to bring
together Michigan’s diverse community. The organization takes pride in taking
the necessary steps to provide an outlet for what is happening in the world
today. For example, their philanthropy for 2017 focuses on the issue of racial
inequality and believes that fashion has the ability to bring opportunities to the
minority youth. NOiR brings a sense of social identity (Babin & Harris, 89)
to the minority at University of Michigan which creates an emotional
involvement (Babin & Harris, 95). If you want to check out more of their philanthropy
