Sifting through racks of clothing at local thrift stores in their spare time paired with their desire to make their own apparel led to the creation of What Dress Code?, a clothing line by Nikole Passarella and Alexandra Kerns.

“I like doing DIY (do-it-yourself) stuff because I like making things,” Passarella said.

When asked how she felt about creating a customer base, Kerns believed that high school students make the best clients. “I wanted to create my own fashion line because all high school students dress the same, and I wanted to help change that,” Kerns said.

Passarella thought that the clothing line was successful.

“I think that the line has been successful in the sense that people are really interested in what we do,” Passarella commented.

This new endeavor forced Kerns to balance her fashion line with her other responsibilities.

“I work 15 hours a week and have approximately three hours of homework a night,” Kerns said. What Dress Code? saw success and its founders continued to expand their products to reach a broader audience.
