Owen Peters: Minnesota Teen Blends Prep and Glamour
Nineteen-year-old Owen Peters from Shakopee, Minnesota, has gained recognition in Vogue for his unique blend of preppy and glamorous fashion. Raised in a Minneapolis suburb, Owen transitioned from graphic tees to a minimalist, brand-free style in middle school to cope with homophobia. During the COVID-19 lockdowns, he explored alternative aesthetics on TikTok. A significant shift occurred in his sophomore year when he embraced baggy Carhartt work pants. Currently studying communications at the University of Minnesota, he dreams of becoming a fashion stylist. His wardrobe features oversized basketball shorts, diamond earrings, a Polo Oxford shirt, and a rhinestone necklace, with cherry cola red hair inspired by Addison Rae. Owen often thrift shops due to 'shopping anxiety' and a belief in fate, drawing inspiration from figures like Gene Kelly and Jackie O. His application for American Style x Vogue showcased a henley, basketball shorts, and vintage Nikes.
