One student was overheard saying, “Who is that girl who looks like a highlighter threw up on her?” Yes, that’s Maddie Kasper… in a sense. In Kasper’s world, clothing speaks louder than words. It isn’t uncommon for her to pair neon colored skinny jeans with a T-shirt featuring a salt shaker and a battery that screams “Assault and battery!” Kasper, a two-year Upper from New York, enjoys combining wittiness and personality in her looks. Often her clothes are a blinding mix of yellows, pinks, oranges, rainbows and wild animal prints. Kasper is not afraid of color. Her outfits electrify an occasionally dreary campus as other students sport dark, neutral, clothing. Kasper said, “They often dress in a classic, no nonsense way, but sometimes I do pine for that explosive pop of color and something other than blue!” Kasper keeps her long brown hair hanging down to her waist, pinned with a flower behind her ear. With a petite frame, her hair seems exceptionally long but seems to work for her image. One will perpetually see SillyBandz on her wrists in stacks of up to a hundred in various assorted colors. Her favorites? “My Harry Potter ones, my Toucan, my Chinese takeout one, and my fish. From camp,” she said. Although the tree leaves are already changing colors for autumn, the Andover community needs someone like Maddie Kasper to brighten their day with outfits of shocking pink jeans, ultra aquamarine shirts and sunburst yellow jackets. “I can’t really define my style. I don’t really have a style inspiration. It [just] cheers me up to wear bright, colorful, and fun clothing.” When asked if she had any anti-inspirations, Kasper declared, “tube tops,” “crop tops” and “Taylor Momsen,” as Momsen’s sense of style is the complete opposite of Kaspers. Kasper joked that if her clothes could talk, they “would say, ‘Get out of me!’” Her sense of humor translates into her choices of clothing. “I definitely have a sense of humor about the way I dress; it’s very ‘kindergartener meets dork.’” She said, “At my old school, we wore uniforms. So at Andover I really got to start wearing these kinds of clothes full time.” Here at Andover, Kasper has reached new heights of creativity. What brogues? What oxfords? What flats? What Converse? Kasper’s sequin sneakers are in.
