Standout Looks! from SCAD's Student Fashion Show 2014

Stephen Burrows may have been the honoree at SCAD on Saturday night, but the graduating students were the true focus as they showed off their final collections for friends and family.
This year's student fashion show at Savannah College of Art and Design was shown for the first time at SCAD's Museum of Art. The facility, which opened in 2011, was the perfect backdrop for the students' hard work. 
Many of the pieces wouldn't have looked out of place on a runway at New York Fashion Week, or even internationally. Hannah Amundson's all-gold collection centered around words used to describe her generation and its social media obsession (Bonus points for the use of "vainglorious"); Amber Nifong burned out rayon to turn it into a couture fabric. Wesley Berryman's unisex line included a pair of pants which where sheer from the knee down and a pink coat I want to wear this fall. Read more...

ASUW 6th Annual Fashion Show


The ASUW Student Health Consortium presents the 6th Annual Everybody Every Body as part of the (You)nique. It was held last 28th of February - a free night of inspiration and celebration.

This event is a FREE, public celebration of bodies and identities. They have created a space in the HUB Ballroom and adjoining Art Gallery to view student art and celebrate the student models on the catwalk as a positive way to explore and understand ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, health, wellness, and all characteristics that make individuals beautiful and unique. It featured over 200 student models, local and international designers and clothing retailers, sustainable fashion, and tons of free giveaways - including our top prize iPad mini provided by Deloitte Indonesia! 



The ASUW Student Health Consortium is proud to offer this event as a way to increase awareness of negative portrayals of body image in the media, and encourage instead a positive, healthy view of our bodies and identities. 




The evening was a celebration of fabulous clothes, all body types, diverse looks, and was a smashing success! According to the The Student Health Consortium this years Everybody Every Body Fashion Show was the biggest in the event's history! Student models rocked clothes donated by local stores as well as featured pieces from student designer lines Mmei and Sea-Town Swag.

Fashionistas... Attendance is a MUST!

KINGSTON UNIVERSITY'S GRADUATE FASHION WEEK 2014

Kingston University students are busy putting the finishing touches to their collections as they prepare to unveil their latest work to some of the biggest names in the business during next month’s Graduate Fashion Week showcase.

Everyone, fashionistas from different points and parts of the world are invited to the show at the Old Truman Brewery on Monday 2 June 8:00 pm – but be quick if you’d like tickets, seats are going fast.

The 24 Kingston students who will display their latest work to a host of influential industry experts will be showcasing an eclectic array of menswear, women's wear and knitwear on the catwalk. 
Some of the stars of this year’s crop of Kingston student designers include Lauren Lake and Mayya Agayeva. Lauren’s graduate collection, inspired by the expeditions of Antarctic explorer Robert Falcon Scott, has already caught the eye of leading British fashion photographer Rankin, who picked out one of her striking statement pieces for a photo shoot to promote Graduate Fashion Week. 
Ukrainian-born Mayya, meanwhile, was one of 12 students from across the country selected to give a sneak preview of a handful of designs at a special Graduate Fashion Week event at the Houses of Parliament earlier this month.

CCSF "Midnight Metropolis" Fashion Show

From last year's CCSF "Haute Mystique" Fashion Show
The only entirely student-produced fashion show in Northern California happens annually in San Francisco -- and is completely planned, designed, and run by CCSF students.
Now in its 13th year, the CCSF fashion show will feature clothing designed by seven CCSF fashion design students who are competing for a scholarship to the Academy of Art University.

From 2013 CCSF "Haute Mystique" Fashion Show
Although only one student was awarded a scholarship after last year's show, three out of the seven students will get a scholarship this year.
Called "Midnight Metropolis," the show will feature San Francisco-themed décor, such as an illuminated cityscape in the entryway and decorations imitating the look of various S.F. neighborhoods.

Fashion Show Rocks Downtown

 A touch of New York, Paris and Milan came to Columbus when the lights went up yesterday night on the Columbus College of Art and Design's annual Fashion Show. 

 "You don't even feel like you're in Columbus" said Sarah Wong, one of 21 seniors showing their work. Hundreds of guests lined the white runway as loud music and shifting lights created a frenzied atmosphere. "It's an unreal feeling" she said. read more...


 Not every CCAD senior was chosen to show their work: a jury of fashion experts chose 68 designs to showcase. "Just because you're a senior does not mean you are in the fashion show" said Suzanne Cotton, fashion design department chairwoman. read more...

Ethical Fashion


The Fresher’s Fashion Show is an event hosted by and showcases works and designs of the talented and creative student designers from the University of Glamorgan.

The show was called, “ethical fashion” because their designs sends message and shows us that there are so many recyclable things and that we can make something of value from it instead of piling up wastes over wastes that destroys the environment the earth that we live on.

The whole show was made by design and promotion students. They worked in groups of four, where two would design and create pieces to be featured on the runways while other will do the promotions and search for models who would walk the piece.

The most interesting and what amazes the crowd is the knowledge of how 



They only spent two days and yet the pieces they have produced were exquisite, and you can really see how much they have paid attention to every intricate detail on every design.

You would have not guessed that they used recycled materials, looking at how well constructed each of the outfits the models wore.

They only have little time, the materials used were definitely not the ones you have on mind you’re your plan is to create a stand out piece, yet they were able to produce more than the expected. It only shows how much talents each designer’s student are.

If they can make incredibly gorgeous piece out wastes, then what more if they use real fabrics?little time each of the designers has to create such unique and creative collection.
