I Know A Place
Valentine’s Day, the day of love. Too bad we can’t love and be loved on any other day of the year, right?
Just kidding, promise. We’re fun around here.
College is prime-time for dating, and there’s something so vulnerable about being The Date Planner. The stakes are high (or low, depending on what you’re looking for). Location is a symbol of sincerity, of “how into me are you, really?”
“So, what are we?”
What do the kids say?
“I know a place.”
What is that place for you?
The gardens of Millennium Park? The sticky seats of a movie theater? Your freshly-made bed?
What about around campus?
Shinju Sushi? The Pub? The rooftop of whichever school building with the best view?
Enough of that. Anything can be a date with the person who has your heart.
Here, the Blog navigates the charming and sometimes uncanny spaces that exist on campus, and the ways in which love can brew all around us. Anywhere, anytime.
This shoot was styled by our talented crew and models themselves, with garments and accessories from their own closets.
