Apparently the mohawk is back and it’s invading Penn’s campus. Since Saturday I’ve seen 4 mohawks around campus. They are sported by a diverse crowd, including skater dudes and frat boys.
For several months, European men have embraced what fashionistas are calling “faux-hawks.” Penn men are apparently just picking up on the trend. In fact, two freshmen in my Digital Design class just got matching ‘hawks, and another friend of mine has yet to cut off his mohawk since Halloween. Much like skinny jeans and leggings, the mo- and faux- hawks of the 80’s and early 90’s have made a comeback.
