Camp on Campus

Camp on Campus

The Link is the students' red carpet. For many, the best part of the day is the ten minutes between lectures as you spy students strutting from class to class. We see you. The Critic paparazzi were at large last week, sent on recon to fill us in with the latest and the greatest trends on campus. Whether it’s Docs or Crocs, totes or backpacks, our reporters managed to stealthily capture the icons and the essence of the UoO campus.

“NO PHOTOS PLEASE” cried Keegan Wells. Caught between her busy schedule. She wears many hats, from pro skier to OUSA President. But our favourite by far has got to be her fluffy winter bucket hat. Kudos to Keegan!

 

DAPPER! Pols Rep Liam White bravely brings back the Dad sweater and can be overheard chortling to his own dad jokes. He’s bringing business casual to campus. 

 

SCARFIES! Is it low-hanging fruit to bring up scarfies? Maybe, but with Clubs and Socs Rep Emma bundled up in the heated bullpen, the proof is in the pudding. 

 

POP OFF! Did Admin Vice President Emily slay? Is it her outfit or Kevin the Campus kitten? Props for pulling off the Crocs no matter the occasion. 
Puffer Jacket? For Winter? Groundbreaking… Budget cuts have forced Equity and Welfare Rep Tara to take matters into her own hands when it comes to keeping things cosy. 

 

SO CHIC! Her taste clothing is almost as good as her taste in magazines. This star was caught busting out of the Link’s doors.

 

DUNNER STUNNER Strutting into the limelight. Students just can’t get enough of the Patagonia fleece this season. 

 

CAT FIGHT! Critic Te Ārohi civil war breaks out over a thrifted sweater in the Link. Writers caught in scandalous exchange. Farmer boy Sam Soppet stood no chance against Jordan Irvine’s platform Docs. 

 

HOLD THE PHONE! Hot new bombshell enters the villa. Just weeks after Fi debuted as Programme Director of Radio One, our suspicions have been cemented; their impeccable taste isn't just restricted to music. 

 

“Yozza” Big student debt, even bigger wardrobe! You can count on Te Rōpū Māori Tumuaki Gemella to combine street style and office chic, bringing the layers and accessories to match. 

 

DYNAMIC DUO! Like white Sambas, all good things come in pairs. Campus just can’t get enough of the inseparable Lily and Adelaide of Radio One. Critic’s not too sure of the weather, but we can be sure that Lily is freezing her arse off right now. Overheard: “I’ll do anything for the fit!”

 

BLESSED, DRESSED, AND READY FOR THE PRESS. Life isn’t always perfect, but rest assured everyone's favourite brekky boy Zac’s outfit always will be. Captured strolling through their brat winter. SLEEK!
