Sinclaire and other executive members of the Columbia College Fashion Association were quoted in a recent Chicago Tribune article, giving their takes on fashion styles from popular 80's film The Breakfast Club.
“Fur-lined parka hoods, brown leather riding boots, grungy plaids — sound familiar? If “The Breakfast Club” summons ‘80s fashion nightmares in your head, then you haven’t seen it in a while. I asked the Columbia College Chicago Fashion Association, a student group, to take another look: “Molly Ringwald’s brown boots are very now,” said sophomore Michelle Pelletier. “That flannel (on Nelson) is very androgynous, very everyone-wears-that-now,” said freshman Ashley Woosley. “Ally looks pretty chic actually,” said junior Sinclaire Fonville. “Baggy sweaters are super in, plus I totally relate to the layered look. And her big bag, really cute.” I told this to Marilyn Vance, who served as costume designer on the movie (as well as six other Hughes films). She wasn’t surprised: “The idea behind the clothes in that film was to make sure nothing dated fast. John didn’t want them in fashions of the day — he wanted them dressed in the fashions of the characters.””
