The Talk: Microtrends and Overconsumption at CHS

Nrithya Mahesh, Kavya Lokhande, Ishana Sharma, and Wendy Le
January 29, 2024

Hosted by: Kavya Lokhande, Nrithya Mahesh, Ishana Sharma

Edited by: Wendy Le

More and more these days, Coppell High School students are following online trends, whether it be buying Stanley Tumblers or LuluLemon clothing to achieve the “clean girl aesthetic.” 

However, most of these trends are short-lived, resulting in mass consumption.

In this episode, The Sidekick staff designers Kavya Lokhande, Nrithya Mahesh and writer Ishana Sharma discuss the growth of trends with marketing teacher Richard Chamberlain on how sustainable they are.

About the Contributors
Nrithya Mahesh
Nrithya Mahesh, Executive Managing Editor

Nrithya Mahesh is a senior and the Executive Managing Editor for The Sidekick.

After having a family member join The Sidekick, Nrithya came to read the paper and form an interest in joining as a member herself. Although she joined the program swearing to never veer away from design, she somehow ended up finding a love for writing and telling multimedia stories.

When she’s not designing the next issue or writing a feature, you can find her catching up on classic middle grade and young adult novels that she never got to in middle school, or maybe even listening to the latest Red Velvet release.

You can contact her at [email protected] or on Instagram (@Nrithya_M).

Ishana Sharma
Ishana Sharma, Lifestyle & Wellness Editor
Ishana is a senior and the lifestyle and wellness editor for The Sidekick. In her free time she enjoys reading, listening to music, being outdoors and spending time with friends and family. She has a mixed breed dog named Snowie who was adopted in 2017. She loves iced coffee, Thai food, pasta and anything chocolate. Her favorite TV shows are Gossip Girl and Brooklyn Nine-Nine. You can reach out to her at [email protected].
Wendy Le
Wendy Le, Executive Social Media Editor
Wendy Le is in her third year in The Sidekick as a senior and the executive social media editor. Throughout her time in this program, she’s found joy in doing things and going to places she never thought she would’ve: standing on the sidelines, in the back of the Black Box Theatre, political rallies, learning how to use Adobe, taking photos, making social media graphics and writing features.  Le does have hobbies outside of D115. When she’s not scouring to get things edited or feeding The Sidekick social media accounts, she likes to brain rot on TikTok, craft new Pinterest boards, go thrifting and take photos on her digital camera. If you see her in person, she is likely to “meow” at you (unironically).  You can contact her at [email protected] for any inquiries.
