Stand-out Looks from SCAD Fashion Show 2014

Savannah College of Art and Design's Annual Fashion Show took place last 17th  of May 2014 and for the first time at the SCAD Museum of Art, which opened in 2011 and was a perfect backdrop for SCAD students' hard work.

Stephen Burrows received the "Andre Leon Talley Life Time Achievement Award." Although
he have been the honoree at SCAD Fashion Show, the graduating students were the true focus of the event as they showed off their final collections to friends and family and the influential people in the world of fashion, not to mention the fashionistas from across the globe.

What made the show truly remarkable are diversity of collections and designs. From rugged to glamour, chic and fancy to edgy and funky. They catered for all kinds of fashion choices and really clicked with the audience. For instance, Hannah Amundson, one of the most talented designers, made an all-gold collection centered around words and used it to describe her generation and social media obsession. On the other hand, another talented designer Amber Nifong burned out rayon to turn it into a couture fabric, while Wesley Berryman created unisex line including a pair of pants which were sheer from the knee down and an interesting pink coat.

Most of the designs were actually quite simple in detail, but you can tell that they were very well thought-out from the details to use of fabric and colors. They all kind of like complement each and makes a uniquely wonderful ensemble.

SCAD once again made a statement, that when it comes to fashion event - their's is not one to miss.
