VANTAGE just discovered an Etsy store full of fierce-yet-wearable things: Girl On A Vine

Maybe sometime soon VANTAGE could borrow a little something?  Hint...Hint...

Eccentric Dancing Creatures

Though the administration hates to acknowledge it, EDC is a USC tradition...come on, it's held on our campus!

A highlight of the two days was Duck Sauce, the DJ duo comprised of A-Trak and Armand Van Helden.  Their set was 2 hours of joyous, raucous, dirty disco...while a giant inflated duck in a letterman jacket swayed in the background.

Watch a video!

Unfortunately, there were some pretty terrible injuries...and worse, an underage girl died after being rushed to a nearby hospital.  A lot of people are questioning the safety of venues like the colliseum, and the issue of accountability should a problem occur.  Like Will.I.Am said, stop hoppin the mothafuckin fence and party!

Have a great summer, everyone!

Happy Summer!

Goodbye to graduating seniors Katie Durko and Derrick Sun, and congratulations to Katie for landing a job at Burberry!

VANTAGE is taking a rest for the summer, but will be back in August.  If you think of something brilliant while on vacay, send it to {vantagemagazineusc@gmail.com}, we'll be working on a few things.  In the Fall, look out for expanded Music and Entertainment sections!

Have a great summer, guys.  Safe travels, Have fun, and we'll see you in a couple of months.

Dreaming of Coachella

VANTAGE is planning to expand our music section, because, well...we take Coachella very seriously.

We're looking for a few more music writers so that we can have multiple reviews of different sets.  Take a look at the lineup, and if you'd like to write a review let us know! {vantagemagazineUSC@gmail.com}

We're also planning to do a Street Style: Coachella Edition section, so start planning those outfits now :)
