Many Ivy Leaguers have become trendsetters that have defined style from everyday streetwear to red carpet designs. Read on for some of their front page-worthy looks and how you can sport their style on campus.
Tory Burch
Our very own Penn alumnus, Tory Burch, graduated in 1988 with a degree in art history. However, she’s better known for her own successful fashion line of women’s clothing, shoes, and handbags. Her signature style is a blend of preppy and bohemian pieces. Score some Tory Burch designs for yourself!

Emma Watson
After dazzling the world with her performance as Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter movie series, Emma Watson attended Brown as an English major. On the street, Emma loves to layer a muted, simple blouse and skinny jeans with a bold coat or scarf. The timeless, Audrey Hepburn-esque ensemble pairs well with a plaid scarf or houndstooth coat. Here is a structured statement piece to make any fall outfit more interesting.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Columbia grad Joseph Gordon-Levitt took a break from acting in 2001 to attend university, but dropped out in 2004 to pursue it again. Whether he’s in the latest blockbuster film, interview, or on his way to work, JGL takes a liking to styling slim-fitting collared shirts with eccentric ties. Patterned ties can be found almost anywhere, but here’s one you can wear for autumn.
