Letter From The Editors

This issue has been a long time coming for STITCH. Back in February, the members of STITCH voted on making Reverie our issue for Spring 2020, even finishing up a photoshoot that very month. As we mentioned in The At-Home Issue however, in light of everything happening in the spring, this issue seemed a task impossible to complete. This fall, however, STITCH gathered once more, circumstances and situations constantly changing, ready this time to share our recontextualized dreams, hopes, and worldviews through the medium of the magazine we love. As EICs, we are beyond excited to finally share with you The Reverie Issue. 

When you Google the word reverie, the first definition that comes up is “a state of being pleasantly lost in one’s thoughts; a daydream.” While we absolutely love this definition (it’s featured on our Instagram and the back cover), the STITCH staff displays that reverie can also be so much more. Staff Writer Erica Davis explores the dreamlike state of places that seem to only exist while you’re in them and Staff Writer Olivia Evans contemplates whether or not we’re really able to manifest our dreams. Staff Writer Vaibhavi Hemasundar analyzes what it is about soft clothing that puts us at ease while the Styling Team gives us cloud makeup that Ariana Grande would be jealous of. 

Decided upon almost a year ago, The Reverie Issue had become a dream we weren’t certain we would be able to achieve. The members of STITCH continue to amaze us with the determination and willingness they brought to the table to revamp Reverie and bring to you the beyond incredible issue that you’re holding in your hands right now. The Reverie Issue has been an opportunity for STITCH to delve deeper into the whimsical, bizarre, and consistently changing nature of dreams and we hope that, as you flip through the pages, you are able to do the same.
