kuumba lookbook 2012

We kept our eyes peeled for sartorial creativity, received nominations and invited people to join us for a photo shoot at the College of Art’s Forsyth House. The Lookbook showcases students from every school, year, and corner of the country—so turn back the pages and check out WashU’s most fashionable.

The Kuumba.tv Lookbook is back and again we’re featuring students with style that stands out.
