Western Michigan University – MODA Student Fashion Show

It is called, “the color theory” an annual fashion show featuring the young and talented student designers of Western Michigan University.

The two-day runway fashion show was held at Radisson Plaza Hotel and Suites in downtown Kalamazoo.

Unlike most student fashion shows, this one is made not only to showcase WMU student designers works and collections.

It is a Benefit Show, doing fashion for a good cause. Part of the proceeds of the show will benefit a lot of people in need of help; the funds will be donated to “Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation” help eradicate breast cancer as life threatening disease as well as to help those recover.

This show is an annual tradition for the fashion and design studies on Western Michigan University and student designers, specifically those in their senior years spend almost a year designing and planning for their collections to be showcased on the show.

Every detail is taken seriously and they work almost like 24/7 perfecting everything before the show comes.

This show is independently hosted and sponsored by the fashion students of Western Michigan University, with the humble support and assistance of the faculties.

Everything from the lightings to the staging, the music and backgrounds and the invitations and logos are work of the students.

It was a collaborative effort, everybody pitched in their own idea and contribution and all labor, pieces and materials used for the show were for free.

Everybody who was involved voluntarily gave what they can to help realize the unselfish goal and objective of the show.

It’s been more than a decade since the show begun and has been benefitting community foundations, and each year is a huge success, and will always will be, for sure.

Street Fashion Show

The Fashion Institute and Technology has had its best and brightest fashion ever.

However, it is not the kind of fashion you imagine or used to seeing, where models walk the runway and people sit and gather around to witness the show.

Well, like in every annual student fashion show – there are student designers who are most probably and often times in their senior, who were chosen to showcase their own designs and collections.

There are various styles and categories, men’s wear and women’s wear but unlike the usual shows, there is no runway for the models to walk on.

For this show, FIT really kind of thought about this brilliantly cool idea, they used the street as the runway. Meaning like literally having the models walk the designs on the streets with lots of people who normally walking those streets as they go to their works or do their daily routines, so in a way they become the audience as well of the fashion show.

It just seems fitted, especially that the collections were mostly work or business wears, the kind of garments you would put on daily  whether to work, school or just like half walk on the streets.

The people loved the collections, they find it very comfortable and the women’s wears in particular are very chic and fashionable and the accessories, boots and shoes and bags really match the whole ensemble.

The designers must have really thought of every detail in the designs, you can tell by just looking at the pockets and zippers – they in a way don’t just work as what they are but rather makes the outfit be worn in two or three ways. It’s awesome.

It’s the kind of dress you would love to put on, and they are definitely going to end up in stores very soon if not instantly.

What a great idea for a fashion show, who better to see the collections than the people whom these designs will be sold to if ever.
