Yoyo Cao on how to ace the collegiate rebel look

Consider this trend an homage to the academic outcasts. Leading the way is Miuccia Prada, who is no stranger to taking risks. This season, she changed our perception of collegiate fashion with what she envisions a school rebel might wear. We’re talking sweatshirts cut so close to the under boob and paired with hipster pleated skirts so tiny, it leaves very little to the imagination.

Other “rebellious student” looks include asymmetrical sleeves at Thom Browne, and an oversized varsity sweater sans bottoms at Lacoste.
