(it’s a website!)

The Kuumba.tv Lookbook celebrates those whose dress impresses. We asked for nominations and found fifty-three fashionistas whose sartorial savvy warranted our second looks and subtle nods of admiration. We – well, you – found students across the Wash U campus, in classrooms, dorms, libraries, dining halls, and professor’s offices. They come from every school, year, and part of the country. Every one has a distinctive personal style – but all agreed to strike a pose, Kuumba-style, in the first ever Kuumba.tv Lookbook.
