Tapestry Fashion

Tapa-Chic

Etymology: This term derives from a village set deep in the tumultuous, offset hills of Greenland. The fertile ground of this village allowed for growth of healthy cotton, for selling and vast pastures, for grazing.  The sheep and the rabbits that grazed in these pastures were sheered for their soft and high-quality wool. The old maidens and two warriors that lived in these parts experienced lack of connection from rest of the surrounding world and thus had their very own eccentric sense of clothing. Their culture and traditions were different. Their clothing style had developed from their own imagination and captured the maidens’ true essence and spirit. Their clothing had the appearance of a 19^th century tapestry, and was intricate and inspiring. It was a cold winter, when a man who worshipped fashion accidentally stumbled on the village on a hiking trip that he coined the term, Tapa-chic. He was awestruck by the unique clothing and the variety of styles that he immediately proposed a fashion magazine story based on the village, and brought this term into the main scene.

Definition: Adj- A style of clothing often seen on and worn by the elite members of Tapestry’s senior staff. It is a defining characteristic of someone who has worked their way up to Senior Staff. The clothing is often thrifted, hand-me-downed, or once in a while handcrafted. It inspires future trends and sets the tone for the rest of the school.
