Campus Style: Were you spotted at Good Life?
We checked out the edgiest garms at Good Life’s first birthday bash
Frankie BodenAfter a year of sell-out shows and a festival-filled summer season, Good Life returned to Leeds last weekend for its first birthday. What better way to celebrate than a throwback 90s night at Beaverworks?
It was a hipster’s paradise, and the students of Leeds took it as an opportunity to blame the theme for their questionable choices of outfits.
Cue bucket hats, shit shirts and glitter galore.
We headed to Good Life to spot those who successfully (and not so successfully) dressed to pay homage to our favourite decade…
Were you spotted?
Lucy Oldacre-Bartley, Medical Sciences at Leeds Uni
Trainers, check. Scrunchie, check. Combined with floral co-ords, Lucy creates the ultimate ’90s look.
Fab Peisakowski, Environmental Management at Leeds Uni
Joseph called; he wants his technicolour dream-coat back. And are the sunglasses inside really necessary?
Mayran Kethees, Medicine at Leeds Uni
We can’t get enough of this stylish silk shirt. Fresh Prince, eat your heart out.
Tanya Marie Duodu, Biological Sciences at Leeds Uni
Tanya nailed the ’90s theme by teaming a patterned Aztec skirt with a bold sports bra.
Ollie Bobroff, Politics at Leeds Uni
No words.
Josh O’Malley, Plant Science (???) at Leeds Uni
Some didn’t quite grasp the ’90s theme. Best of luck with your plant science anyway, Josh.
Zoe Jackson, Theatre and Performance at Leeds Uni
Gini Baysheva, English Literature and Language at Leeds Uni
These two bun-wonders stayed true to their edgy Leeds roots, channelling their inner ’90s diva to extremely sassy effect.
James Collett, Mechanical Engineering at Leeds Uni
Jay Hewison, Philosophy at Leeds Uni
Top marks for originality boys. But who wore it better? May the vest man win.
