Â鶹ÊÓƵ×îÐÂ×îÈ« the Annual Fashion Show
Our Annual Fashion Show highlights the outstanding talent of Â鶹ÊÓƵ×îÐÂ×îȫ’s design and merchandising students.
Students submit work (everything from athletic wear to evening gowns) to a panel of industry experts, who decide which collections and looks will be presented on the runway.
The Annual Fashion Show is a key part of the senior year experience. Our fashion students plan and organize the two-day event every April as an opportunity to showcase and celebrate their achievements.
