The Maryland
Institute College of Arts hosted its Annual Benefit Fashion where senior
student designers spent almost a year perfecting their designs and collections
which will be showcased in this must anticipated fashion show packed with
hundreds of professionals and experts in the fashion industry.

The
theme of the show was called “transcend,”
it is a fresh and brilliant and cool idea – the show explored manifestations of
the unconscious minds.
The
designers found really challenging because they have to go beyond what is
expected of the whole concept and must reveal something hidden about themselves
through their designs.

It
was surprisingly good to see how creative and imaginative their ideas were and
see how each designers approach.
People
wear clothes that they feel and fashion is an art that caters for the need of
people to express their inner self and what we wear often expresses how we feel
and think, it either reveals something or conceals something.
Either
way it tells something about us, truth or what we want people to perceive of
us.
People identify with clothes or garments and it
mirrors oneself and the internal impulses.

This
is what the theme of the show was about. Transcend represents a place that is
metaphysical, emotional and spiritual.
The concept of the show was not the
typical kind of show that most have. It rather deep but it is also strikingly
good.
Apart from the fact that the show is for
a good cause and it aims to aid charities programs, the good thing about the
show is that, afterwards the audience gets an up-close conversation with the
designers.
They
continue to mix and mingle down to the exhibition of fashion-inspired
photography, illustration and fiber arts.
It
was a great show, all the hard works of the student designers is worth it with
the huge success of the whole show.
